Abstract: In this talk the major challenges that the semiconductor industry will have to face in the second decade of the new millenium will be addressed.The industry ecosystem is moving toward a new equilibrium and, in this context, the semiconductor Industry will continue to play a dominat role to fuel the growth in particular in the electronic field. New applications have a common denominator of growing complexity with more and more limited power and not only in the mobile space, this will push the industry to keep particular emphasis on the power budget of the new designs both at silicon and at system level. From the architecture stand point, multiprocessing is already a reality and the industry will have to find new paradigms to handle the increased complexity both at system , design & silicon implementation level. The interconnect,in particular, will assume a dominant role in the new SOC design, including 3D, becoming a more and more strategic resource to properly achieve the future design objectives.
Bio : Alessandro Cremonesi received a Doctorate in Electronics Engineering from the University of Pavia, Italy, in 1984. After a period of research activity in the opto-electronics field at the University of Pavia, he joined STMicroelectronics working in different fields, including telecommunications, audio/video digital signal processing and multimedia applications.
At present, Dr. Cremonesi is Vice President of the Strategy and System Technology Group and General Manager of the Advanced System Technology (AST) group at STMicroelectronics, with the responsibility of corporate system research and development and corporate strategic marketing activities across 14 different STMicroelectronics Labs worldwide.
