In addition, EDS Japan Chapter organized
a symposium entitled “Challenges and problems in Nano-CMOS
technology toward the next 15 years” on Sept 11, 2006, at Waseda
University in Tokyo. 17 speakers gave talks on technology trends, device,
processes, material analysis, circuits and so on, which were all focused on the
coming nanoelectronics era. The symposium concluded
with a panel discussion. 6 panelists, who were Prof. H. Iwai (Tokyo Institute
of Tech.), Prof. K. Natori (Tsukuba Univ.) and Prof.
M. Koyanagi (Tohoku Univ.), Prof. K. Yamada (Waseda Univ), Prof. T. Hiramoto (Univ. of Tokyo) and Dr. T. Chikyo
(National Institute for Materials Science), engaged in fruitful discussion on
technologies 15 years from now. Topics were “What will be the main nanoelectronics devices?”, “Will emerging devices replace
CMOS devices?” and “What should we do from now on to achieve nanoelectronics?.” The symposium
was very successful with more than 80 participants.
