The 2024 IEDM technical program, supporting the theme “Shaping Tomorrow’s Semiconductor Technology” will consist of more than 270 presentations plus a full slate of events including an evening panel, Focus Sessions, Tutorials, Short Courses, a career luncheon, supplier exhibit and IEEE/EDS award presentations.

“Many papers discuss striking advances in logic and memory  technology, such as monolithic integration of various functions, 3D architectures, and system-level design and technology co-optimisation for increased performance at reduced power and cost.”

Here are details of the 2024 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting:

Keynote Presentations – Plenary Session, Monday, Dec. 9

  • Semiconductor Industry Outlook and New Technology Frontiers, Y-J. Mii, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, TSMC
  • Advancing AI with Energy-Efficient Architectures: Innovations in Fab Process, Packaging, and System Integration, Mark Fuselier, Sr. Vice President, Technology and Product Engineering, AMD
  • Revolutionizing Power Electronics with Silicon Carbide to Pioneer Sustainable Solutions, Elif Balkas, Chief Technology Officer, Wolfspeed

Tutorial Sessions – Saturday, Dec. 7

The Saturday tutorial sessions on emerging technologies are presented by experts in the field to bridge the gap between textbook-level knowledge and leading-edge current research, and to introduce attendees to new fields of interest. There are three time slots, each with two tutorials running in parallel:

1:30 p.m. – 2:50 p.m.

  • System Scaling with Wafer-Level Integration Technologies, Chih Hang, TSMC
  • Advances in CMOS Technologies and Future Directions for Cell Height Scaling, Anupama Bowonder, Intel

3:05 p.m. – 4:25 p.m.

  • Co-Packaged Photonics for Improved Energy Efficiency and Performance of AI Applications,Clint Schow,Univ. California-Santa Barbara
  • Current Understanding and Future Challenges of Gate Dielectric Breakdown Reliability, Ernest Y. Wu, IBM

4:40 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.

  • EUV Lithography for the Age of AI, Anthony Yen, ASML
  • Magneto-Ionics for Energy-Efficient and Reconfigurable Nanoelectronics, Kai Liu, Georgetown University

Short Courses – Sunday, Dec. 8

In contrast to the Tutorials, the full-day Short Courses are focused on different aspects of a single technical topic. They offer the opportunity to learn about important areas and developments, and to network with global experts.

  • Short Course 1: Technology Innovations Shaping the Roadmap in the Era of AI, organized by Anabela Veloso, IMEC
    • Sailing into the Future of the Semiconductor Industry, Lipen Yuan, TSMC
    • Into the Multidimensional World of Advanced Logic Technology, Yu-Lin Chao, Intel
    • Evolution of Memory Technologies for Advanced Nodes via the Third Dimension, Jeonghoon Oh, Samsung
    • The System Revolution Enabled by 2.5D and 3D Technologies, Muhannad Bakir, GeorgiaTech
    • Advanced Metrology for Next Generations of Stacked Devices/Systems: Challenges and Opportunities, Etienne de Poortere, ASML
    • Multiscale Thermal Challenges and Modelling Frameworks for Advanced Device Technologies and Systems, Bjorn Vermeersch, IMEC
  • Short Course 2: AI Systems and the Next Leap Forward, organized by Andy Wei, Intel
  • Evolution of AI Hardware: Past, Present and Future,Anand Joshi,TechInsights
  • AI Accelerator Hardware and Research Directions,Brucek Khailany,NVIDIA
  • Memory Requirements and Solutions for AI Accelerators and HPC, Emanuele Confalonieri, Micron
  • 3DIC STCO for AI Systems, Victor Moroz, Synopsys
  • Developing Modern Scalable 3DIC Systems and Next Generation EDA, Vivek Rajan, Intel
  • Leveraging AI to Revolutionize Semiconductor Manufacturing, Brett Schroeder, Applied Materials

Luncheon – Tuesday, Dec. 10

There will be a career-focused luncheon featuring industry and scientific leaders talking about their personal experiences in the context of career growth. The discussion will be moderated by Janina Beilner, Senior VP Healthcare Vertical, Siemens, and Appointed Lecturer, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. The speakers will be:

  • Anna Fontcuberta-i-Morral, Full Professor at EPFL, who will become the first female president of EPFL in 2025. She is the winner of the 2015 Emmy Noether Award, given to top aspiring female research scientists in any STEM field to help realize their potential careers through financial and networking assistance.
  • Iuliana Radu, Deputy Director at TSMC, and previously Program Director and Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at IMEC

Evening Panel Session – Tuesday evening, Dec. 10

The IEDM evening panel session is an interactive forum where experts give their views on important industry topics, and audience participation is encouraged to foster an open exchange of ideas. This year’s panel will be moderated by Ali Keshavarzi of Stanford University. It will focus on the theme, “IEDM at 70 – Building on the Past while Preparing for the Future – What is Next?”

Vendor Exhibition/MRAM Global Innovation Forum

  • A vendor exhibition will be held once again.
  • Sponsored by the IEEE Magnetics Society, the 16th MRAM Global Innovation Forum will be held in the same venue the day following the IEDM conference, on Thursday, Dec. 12.
