Over 40 years after its introduction, Moore's Law continues to be the best predictor of future trends in silicon process scaling. Significant shifts in technology have occurred during this time to achieve increased performance and power efficiency. Advances in materials, processes, device structure, architectures, packages, and systems will continue to enable the future.A research and development approach that leverages university and consortium research along with a strong targeted internal research organization will be discussed. The investments required necessitate a smooth transfer of ideas into development and from development into high volume manufacturing. Use of integrated development and manufacturing capability enables co-optimizing the end product and manufacturing process. The model will be validated using Intel product and technical results.A reception will follow the lecture in the MNTL atrium. All students and faculty are invited.Speaker Bio: William M. Holt is senior vice president and Intel Corporation's general manager of the Technology and Manufacturing Group (TMG). He shares responsibility with Bob Baker for managing Intel's technology development and manufacturing activities. Holt has been with Intel since 1974. He began his career as a development engineer and works as technical contributor or manager in DRAM development until 1985. He later assumed responsibility for the definition off design rules, devices, and test chips for logic technologies and was the program manager for the development of Intel's first BiCMOS process. In 1999, Holt became co-director of the Logic Technology Development organization, which is responsible for the research, definition, and development of new generations of logic technologies, advances circuit design, advanced patterning, test technology, and process and circuit simulation tools. He was also appointed vice president in 1999. In 2003, he was elected corporate vice president.Holt received a BS in electrical engineering from Illinois in 1974. He received his MS in electrical engineering from the University of Santa Clara in 1979.
