A reception will follow the lecture. Our industry has been remarkably successful at continuing exponential improvements in electronics across many decades despite the rapid evolution of the underlying technologies and deviations from ideal behavior. In contrast our ability to predict a decade ahead is limited and our history is filled with wrong predictions of "red brick walls" and the end of scaling. As we look forward, human ingenuity has already identified key materials and devices to be implemented in the next few years, and now we are working at solving the challenges of making these technologies suitable for high volume production. Some of the technology path forward is predictable but we can see inflection points coming which will require doing things differently, both for process and for design. Beyond 2020, novel devices that do not look like CMOS are one of the possible choices which will have implications for how the rest of the process is defined. There are many options to choose from and a rich set of opportunities to explore for technology research.
