Abstract:
Memory has proven a major bottleneck in the development of energy-efficient chips for IoT applications and artificial intelligence (AI). Recent emerging memory devices not only serve as memory macros, but also enable the development of computing-in-memory (CIM) for IoT and AI chips. In this talk, we will review recent trend of memory and AI+IoT chips. Then, we will examine some of the challenges, circuits-devices-interaction, and recent progress of silicon-proven SRAM and emerging-memory based CIMs for IoT and AI chips.
Biography:
Dr. Chang is a Distinguished Professor in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering of National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan. Dr. Change obtained considerable practical experience before joining NTHU in 2006, having spent more than 10 years working in industry.
Between 1997 and 2006, Dr. Chang worked in the development of SRAM/ROM/Flash macros/compilers at Mentor Graphics (New Jersey, US), TSMC (Taiwan), and the Intellectual Property Library Company (Taiwan). His research interests include circuit design for volatile and nonvolatile memory, 3D-Memory, nonvolatile and spintronics logics, circuit-device-interactions in non-CMOS devices, memristor circuits, computing-in-memory and neuromorphic circuits for deep learning and artificial intelligent (AI) chips.
Since 2010, Dr. Chang has authored or co-authored more than 50+ top conference papers (including 18 ISSCC, 21 VLSI Symposia, 9 IEDM, and 5 DAC) as well as 50+ IEEE journal papers and 50+ US patents. He is an associate editor for IEEE TVLSI, and IEEE TCAD. He has been serving on technical program committees for IEDM (Executive committee, Chair of MT sub-committee), ISSCC, DAC, A-SSCC, IEEE CAS Society (Chair of NG-TC), and numerous international conferences. He is a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) for IEEE Solid-State Circuits (2019-2020) and IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) (2017-2018). He is the recipient of several prestigious national-level awards in Taiwan. He currently is the Program Director of the Microelectronics Program at the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in Taiwan. He is a Fellow of IEEE.
