De Souza of University of Sheffield, UK

 Over 100 years since its invention we celebrate the humble Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). Scaling of this transistor led by the ingenuity of microelectronics engineers worldwide has had a transformative eff ect on society. This talk will focus on the history of some of the challenges of device scaling. Combining memory with CMOS presents one possible pathway for massively parallel and highly energy efficient neuromorphic computing systems of the future.
