Abstract

Dr. Barrett will outline the evolution of the semiconductor industry and make projections regarding the future of the semiconductor industry. During the talk, Dr. Barrett will examine some of the more complex integrated circuit devices in production and talk about the technical challenges of bringing such devices to market. Dr. Barrett's talk will also touch upon "Micro2010" (forecast for typical integrated circuit device in the year 2010); and, look at some of the key technology opportunities that will need to be addressed between now and 2010 with particular emphasis on the materials challenges. Finally, the talk will conclude with discussion of ways in which industry, government, and university can and should cooperate in order to continue to make advances in the future.
