Smart, Smarter, Smartest… Everything…
李明哲 Dr. Robert Li
台灣新思科技總經理 Country Manager, Synopsys Taiwan
Abstract
With the advancing of Nano technology empowering by Moore’s law and the immense demand of complicate applications, .i.e., autonomous driving enabling by AI, we are entering a “Digital Intelligence” era where different algorithms need to integrate together to achieve the design convergence and hardware/software are fused together to provide a “smarter” solution. In this presentation, I will use automotive design as an example to share the key focus areas: IP, Algorithm fusion, HW/SW Verification/Prototyping, Security and Machine Learning, to explain the trend of Digital Intelligence and few examples of AI initiative in EDA application.

Circuit Design in Nano-Scale CMOS Technologies
張曉強 Dr. Kevin Zhang
台灣積體電路製造股份有限公司
Abstract
The relentless pursuit of Moore's law by semiconductor industry has led the feature size of CMOS transistor well into nano-scale regime. Deeply scaled technologies have created many new challenges for circuit design, e.g., variation, and voltage head-room. In this presentation, an overview of today's technology landscape will be presented first, including major innovations that have kept the Moore's law continue. Then the focus will be on how to address scaling challenges with novel circuit design techniques, ranging from digital to memory, to analog, and to mixed signals. A number of real design examples will be used to illustrated the new design concept. A central theme throughout the presentation will be a comprehensive view that technology and design will need to be co-optimized in order to meet the complexity of future product requirements.
