Session 21 overview: Extending silicon and its applications: Technology directions subcommittee

Abstract

This session includes six papers from the Technology Directions subcommittee at ISSCC 2018. The first two papers present advances in mixed signal processing for machine learning, the third paper describe a 32GHz mechanical resonator achieved for the first time in 14nm FinFET technology, the fourth paper reviews a 10Gb/s Si Photonics transceiver targeting 1Tb/s/mm2 die-to-die communication, the fifth paper describes an innovative sensor to detect laser fault injection attack on a cryptographic core in order to avoid any information exposure and the final paper presents an injection-locked VCO array targeting ESR application.
