Bio :

Sanjay Natarajan is a Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel Foundry Technology Research & External R&D Engagements group at Intel Corporation. He is responsible for Intel's internal semiconductor research, external engagements with Universities and Consortia, and government engagements worldwide related to semiconductor R&D. During his 31-year career in the semiconductor R&D industry, Sanjay led the development of Intel's 14nm process technology, and prior to that, he led development of Intel's industry-leading 32nm process technology. In addition to Intel, Sanjay has held senior executive positions at Applied Materials, where he led a group developing new types of semiconductor equipment focused on extending Moore’s Law. Outside of work, Sanjay is a Research Professor in the Department of Mechanical & Materials Engineering at Portland State University. He also serves on the Advisory Boards to the Deans of Engineering at Portland State University and Carnegie Mellon University and serves on the Advisory Council for the National Science Foundation Engineering Directorate. He is an IEEE member and received his BS, MS, PhD in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.

Abstract :

For nearly 60 years, Moore’s Law has exponentially increased our ability to compute and has transformed the way we live. Today we live in a world in which nearly every aspect of our lives is touched by technology, including technology itself - which now finds itself in a virtuous cycle of increasing demand driven by increasing capability.
As graphics and AI applications create new and taxing compute workloads, storage needs and power-hungry data transfer rates, advancing Moore’s Law has become more relevant than ever.
Continued dimensional scaling, additional new materials, novel architectures and disruptive innovation at all levels of the compute system drive Intel’s research on the fundamentals of semiconductor technology in our relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law.
