Special Alumni Presentation
The Symbiotic Relationship Between Moore's Law and Computational Modeling
Speaker: Pete Woytowitz, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor, Santa Clara University, Director of Computational Modeling and Reliability, Lam Research Corporation
Abstract:Moores law (that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles every 18 mo.) is often cited as a key enabling phenomenon for computational modeling. This presentation will discuss some of the computational modeling contributions to the enabling of Moores law including examples from WFE (wafer fabrication equipment) modeling and IC device level modeling including solid, fluid, electrical, and plasma modeling. Future trends including molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry modeling are briefly discussed.
Host: MEGA (Mechanical Engineering Graduate Association)
