Fall 2023 Industry Workshop & Advisory Board Meeting

Fall 2023 Industry Workshop & Advisory Board (IAB) Meeting

December 5-6, 2023
Virtual Meeting
Zoom Link will be sent to registered email address prior to the event.

How can universities, industry and national labs work together to create the next-generation of energy-efficient, high-performance semiconductors? Learn how we can partner to meet the U.S.’s CHIPS Act goals at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Join us as we discuss cutting-edge semiconductors and microelectronics research at Illinois and engage with students at the 5 minute poster session. You will also meet top semiconductor industry, national lab, and DoD members. Registration is free.

Keynote Details -

Critical Nano-Metrology for Emerging Technologies

Dr. Jiong Zhang - Principal Engineer at Intel

Bio: Jiong Zhang received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and his MA and BA both from Tsinghua University, all in Materials Science and Engineering. Jiong joined Intel in 2011, and is currently a Principal Engineer focusing on Silicon technology R&D, advanced analytical technique development and competitive analysis across industry. Jiong has also led multiple research projects with universities and national labs for emerging nanoelectronics metrology innovations. Jiong has more than 40 scientific journals publications and several invited book chapters.

Abstract: Metrology is an essential and integrated part for Si technology development, manufacturing and yield. Transistor scaling with introduction of novel architectures and new materials have raised considerable challenges for metrology at nanoscale. This keynote will focus on advanced and state of art analytical techniques from device to array to wafer level, to address the metrology gaps for continuing Moore’s Law, to build the next stage metrology for structural, compositional and property characterization.
