generation of engineers and academics, in addition to learning more about
the question in their minds. Some mentors and participants stayed much later
than the official event time to keep

on the good conversation they had,"
Ayranci said.
The next mentoring event will be held
at the European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC) in Lausanne, Switzer-

land, in September. Please visit the SSCS
website for more details on upcoming YP
and mentoring events.

dramatically enhance system-level
compute and power efficiency. He
illuminates how the unique device
characteristics of many of the emerging memory technologies discussed
by Dr. Yu might enable these new features and functions.
In the final article, "Semiconductor Memory Road Map," Dr. Jung-Bae
Lee, senior vice president of Memory Product Planning for Samsung's
Memory Division, pulls all of these
discussions together, while projecting into the future of memory
evolution or, perhaps more appropriately, revolution. With decades

of experience as his guide, and in
spite of the growing complexities of
traditional scaling, Dr. Lee reminds
us that innovation has brought
semiconductor memory technologies to where they are today, and
innovation will be essential to continued progress.
In addition, as usual, several feature articles of interest to readers
ranging from tutorials to technology
overviews are included in this issue.
The goal of the magazine continues to be to provide Society news and
information as well as a series of selfcontained resources to keep the IEEE

up-to-date with changes in technology while, at the same time, providing
reviews of circuit design concepts. This
includes contributions from experts
describing the current state of affairs
and evolution of a particular IC technology. We will also continue to feature
articles focused on the contributions of
luminaries and solid-state circuit techniques and directions.
