SAN FRANCISCO, CA (August 17, 2021) – While the comprehensive technical program for the 2021 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) will be finalized in the fall, the popular IEDM Tutorials and Short Courses are already set. The broad reach, interdisciplinary nature and technical depth of the topics that will be discussed in these educational events can serve as a “crystal ball” of sorts to show where the industry is headed.

For those who wish to get a jump on learning about the 67^th annual IEDM, scheduled for December 11–15, 2021 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel under the theme “Devices for a New Era of Electronics: From 2D Materials to 3D Architectures,” this news release provides descriptions of these educational offerings.

At IEDM each year, the world’s best scientists and engineers in nano/microelectronics gather to participate in a technical program consisting of more than 220 presentations, along with a variety of panels, focus sessions, Tutorials, Short Courses, a supplier exhibit, IEEE/EDS award presentations and other events highlighting leading work in more areas of the field than any other conference.

“As the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated, the world is becoming increasingly reliant on electronic technologies. The good news is that the IEDM Tutorials and Short Courses will provide attendees with the invaluable knowledge and information needed to advance the state-of-the-art in critical areas of the field,” said Meng-Fan (Marvin) Chang, IEDM 2021 Publicity Chair, IEEE Fellow, Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering at National Tsing Hua University, and Director of Corporate Research at TSMC. “The opportunity to engage with the world’s technical leaders in these highly specialized areas is one of the hallmarks of the IEDM conference.”

“New, fast-growing electronics applications often require novel semiconductor solutions,” said Srabanti Chowdhury, IEDM 2021 Publicity Vice Chair and Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. “The IEDM Tutorials and Short Courses represent a great opportunity to explore evolving areas of the field, with topics that include novel materials and device types; advances in process and packaging technologies; new design approaches; and much more.”

IEDM Tutorials – Saturday, Dec. 11

Now in their 12^th year, the 90-minute Saturday tutorial sessions on emerging technologies and specialized topics have become a hugely popular part of IEDM. They are presented by experts in the respective areas, the goal being to bridge the gap between textbook-level knowledge and leading-edge current research. The topics for 2021 are:

2:45 p.m. - 4:15 p.m.

Beyond the FinFET Era: Challenges and Opportunities for CMOS Technology, Kai Zhao, IBM
TCAD-Based DTCO and STCO, Asen Asenov, University of Glasgow
6G Technology Challenges from Devices to Wireless Systems, Aarno Pärssinen, Oulu University

4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Selective and Atomic-Scale Processes for Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing, Robert Clark, TEL
Machine Learning for Semiconductor Device and Circuit Modeling, Elyse Rosenbaum, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
GaN Power Device Technology and Reliability, Dong Seup Lee, Texas Instruments

IEDM Short Courses – Sunday, Dec. 12

In contrast to the Tutorials, the full-day IEDM Sunday Short Courses are focused on a single technical topic. Early registration is recommended, as they are often sold out. They offer the opportunity to learn about important areas and developments, and to network with global experts.
