Silicon Beach November Meeting
Wednesday, November 24, 2021, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM PDT
Category: Silicon Beach

 

At this month’s Silicon Beach meeting we will learn how and why the U.S. has ceded leadership in microchip manufacturing and learn the answers to the questions:
 
  1. Why have we been so hurt by supply chain disruptions?
  2. What can we do to prevent this from happening next time?
 
To offer his unique perspectives on these and other current issues we are extremely fortunate to have Subramanian S. Iyer (Subu),  Distinguished Chancellor’s Professor at the UCLA Samueli School of Electrical & Computer Engineering. 
 
Prof. Iyer obtained his B.Tech. from IIT-Bombay, and Ph.D. from UCLA and joined the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center at Yorktown heights, NY and later moved to the IBM systems and Technology Group at Hopewell Junction, NY where he was appointed IBM Fellow and was till recently Director of the Systems Scaling Technology Department. His key technical contributions have been the development of the world’s first SiGe base HBT, Salicide, electrical Fuses, embedded DRAM and 45nm technology used at IBM and IBM’s development partners. He also was among the first to commercialize bonded SOI for CMOS applications through a start-up called SiBond LLC. He has published over 250 papers and holds over 70 patents. His current technical interests and work lie in the area of advanced packaging and three-dimensional integration for system-level scaling, as well as the long-term semiconductor and packaging roadmap for logic, memory and other devices as well as counterfeit prevention. He has received several outstanding technical achievements and corporate awards at IBM and was elected a member of the IBM Academy of Technology as well as a Master Inventor. He is an IEEE Fellow and a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE EDS as well as a member of its Board of Governors. He is a Distinguished Alumnus of IIT Bombay and received the IEEE Daniel Noble Medal for emerging technologies in 2012. He also studies Sanskrit in his spare time.
