Eight of the brightest minds in Advanced Materials will assemble at the Dallas Convention Center during International Nanotechnology Week to advance their findings.
Dr. Douglas Grose, senior vice president of technology development, manufacturing and supply chain for AMD, and some of the nanotechnology industry’s most compelling thought leaders will discuss advances in nanomaterials.
“Defining ‘high-performance’ today requires consideration of a longer list of variables than ever before,” Dr. Grose told reporters. “It is no longer sufficient for semiconductor manufacturers to deliver products with the right mix of processing performance and power. They must also deliver these products at the right time and at the right price. Meeting consumer demand for increasingly advanced applications while balancing these complex variables will require innovative materials.”
Panelists will discuss how the IC industry is integrating these new and multi-functional materials into silicon technology to enable new applications, the improvements in performance and power capability these materials provide, and the challenges and solutions for bringing these products to market.
Summit Panelists include:
- Dr. Douglas Grose, Chair. AMD Sr. VP - Technology Manufacturing and Supply Chain
- Dr. Sanjay Banerjee, University of Texas at Austin, Cockrell Family Regents Chair in Electrical & Computer Eng. and Director, Microelectronics Research Center
- David Moxam, CEO Authentix
- Dr. Ed Schlesinger, Carnegie Mellon University, Professor & Department Head Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Dr. Horst Adams, ALCAN Technology & Management LTD. Manager Technology Services
- Dr. Mark Melliar-Smith, CEO & President, Molecular Imprints, Inc.
- David Lazovsky, President & CEO, Intermolecular, Inc.
- Dr. Shawn Searles, AMD
The Advanced Materials Summit will take place at the nanoTX’07 Conference and Trade Expo, Wednesday, October 3, at 3:30 pm in the Business Hall A, Stage 2. All expo attendees are welcome. Register at www.nanotx.biz
