MORNING SESSION 9, PLENARY LECTURES: NEW DIRECTIONS in INFORMATION and COMMUNICATION SCIENCE, THE PHOTONICS APPROACH
- Alexandre ZABI (LLR-Ecole Polytechnique CNRS-IN2p3)
Pr. Dr. Ir, Wim Bogaerts is full professor in the Photonics Research Group of Ghent University and IMEC. He specializes in silicon photonics, design of complex photonics circuits, and programmable photonics. During and after his PhD, he laid the foundations for IMEC's silicon photonics platform, and the multi-project-wafer service ePIXfab which made this technology accessible for many...
ABSTRACT of the LECTURE:
For decades semiconductor advancement has depended almost entirely on ever shrinking transistors and wires. This trend, known as Moore's Law, has enabled the modern miracle electronics which we all use and enjoy. Today however, we are reaching the physical limits of shrinking transistors and wires further. Manufacturing today's nanometer transistors requires billions...
