Leadership Team’s Words

Dear CASPA members, sponsors, and advocates,

Thank you for your generous support! We hope this email finds you safe and healthy, and wish you and your family a joyous holiday season!

The year 2022 has been challenging for the semiconductor industry due to the pandemic, war, and disruption of supply chains. CASPA has worked proactively to help the semiconductor community promote sponsors’ technology endeavors, and keep our members staying in touch with the latest technology innovations. Our various seminars on topics of power IC, packaging and chiplets, Spring Symposium entitled “Mega Trends on Semiconductor Ecosystem”, Summer Symposium entitled “Extending Moore’s Law for New Breed of Semiconductors” had gained a lot of attractions and positive feedback. Furthermore, during the Annual Conference and Dinner Banquet, more than a thousand of CASPA members and sponsors attended the event online or in person, where Rene Hass, the CEO of ARM, delivered a keynote speech “Our Cyclical Industry” , and more than ten industry experts talked about the exciting innovations on “Computing, Connectivity and Storage”.

Looking forward to 2023, CASPA will continue to serve the local community through its signature events: Spring and Summer Symposiums, Job fair, Science and Engineering Fair and Annual Conference. In addition, CASPA plans to hold a series of seminars to help our members achieve their career goals. In our coming signature event, 2023 Spring Symposium, we plan to invite speakers to discuss the latest breakthroughs in the automotive segment such as autonomous driving, AI edge computing, safety and security, etc… Please stay tuned for our latest announcements.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Chenming Hu: The Future of the Transistor Is Our Future

I would argue, that yes, we are going to need new transistors, and I think we have some hints today of what they will be like. Whether we’ll have the will and economic ability to make them is the question.

 

I believe the transistor is and will remain key to grappling with the impacts of global warming. With its potential for societal, economic, and personal upheaval, climate change calls for tools that give us humans orders-of-magnitude more capability.

 

Semiconductors can raise the abilities of humanity like no other technology. Almost by definition, all technologies increase human abilities. But for most of them, natural resources and energy constraints make orders-of-magnitude improvements questionable. Transistor-enabled technology is a unique exception for the following reasons.
