IEEE SSCS USTC Student Branch Chapter Organizes Series
of Lectures on the Progress of Semiconductor Technology
The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society
(SSCS) University of Science and
Technology of China (USTC) Student
Branch Chapter organized a series of
lectures on the progress of semiconductor
technology in collaboration
with the School of Microelectronics,
University of Science and Technology
of China. The lectures were
held every week from March to June
2022, and they were delivered at
the Institute of Advanced Technology
campus of the University of Science
and Technology of China west
campus, with the assistance of Prof.
Shibing Long, Prof. Yi Kang, and
Prof. Chen Song.
Semiconductors are an essential
component of electronic devices,
enabling advances in communications,
computing, health care, military
systems, transportation, clean
energy, and countless other applications.
The lecture series featured
scholars and experts from universities
and the semiconductor industry
who were invited to report, through
lectures, on the cutting-edge technology
of semiconductor devices and
the development trends of the semiconductor
industry.
The course covered many technical
areas, including but not limited
to the following:
■ machine learning and brain-inspired
chips
■ advanced memory technology
■ power electronics and its application
in green energy
■ the design of analog and mixedsignal
ICs
■ microwave ICs for wireline and
wireless communication
■ sensor technologies
■ high-performance and low-power
processor design
■ IC design and applications in biomedical
fields
