Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University researchers are augmenting silicon computer chips with transformative technologies to create faster, more efficient computing systems. Using nanotube transistors, the designs vertically stack and densely integrate logic and memory in 3D which offers substantial performance gains over traditional 2D silicon-only chips. https://lnkd.in/ertnibKx

Dear Network, Updates on my continuous lifelong learning journey. 📢 I recently learned how semiconductors are manufactured and developed by Purdue University, The University of Texas at Austin, Intel Corporation, and a group of leading worldwide partners in the field. The course is designed to provide a basic understanding of semiconductor fabrication, featuring engaging material on an array of industry-standard semiconductor fabrication processes. The course took me through video tutorials of actual equipment and process technologies. I have also received hands-on experience using vFabLab, a semiconductor fabrication virtual reality simulation. Topics covered in this course include semiconductor device basics, the semiconductor ecosystem, chip design, oxidation, thermal diffusion and ion implantation, wet and reactive ion etching, lithography, thin film deposition, chemical mechanical polishing and interconnects, and advanced packaging. I would like to take the opportunity to recognize the key contributors who developed the “Semiconductor Fabrication 101” course. ✅ Muhammad Hussain, professor Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University; ✅ Xiuling Li, Temple Foundation Endowed Professor in the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.  ✅ Chenming Hu, professor emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, and U.S. National Academy of Engineering member. ✅ Sanjay Banerjee, the Cockrell Family Regents Chair in Engineering, Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Texas at Austin. ✅ Subhasish Mitra, the William E.
