"The Microelectronics Prototyping Ecosystem in Arizona and Resilient Compute-in-Memory for AI Hardware"

Dr. Krishnendu Chakrabarty | Fulton Professor of Microelectronics
School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering |Arizona State University

ECSS 2.102 – TI Auditorium

ABSTRACT

This talk will consist of two parts. First, the speaker will describe microelectronics prototyping capabilities and research projects at the Microelectronics Commons Southwest Advanced Prototyping Hub led by Arizona State University.

Funded by the CHIPS and Science Act, the Microelectronics Commons program is a network of regional technology hubs acting on a shared mission: to expand the nation’s global leadership in microelectronics.

Through this program, the Microelectronics Commons is accelerating domestic prototyping and growing a pipeline of USbased semiconductor talent.

In the second half of the presentation, the speaker will describe recent research advances in resilient ReRAM crossbar-based compute-in-memory for AI hardware.

These advances enable reliable AI inferencing using an unreliable compute-in-memory fabric.

BIOGRAPHY

Krishnendu Chakrabarty is the Fulton Professor of Microelectronics in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and Chief Technology Officer of the Department of War Microelectronics Commons Southwest Advanced Prototyping Hub.

He is also the Director of the ASU Center for Semiconductor Microelectronics. Before joining ASU three years back, he was the John Cocke Distinguished Professor and Department Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University.

Prof. Chakrabarty’s current research is in the areas of design-for-test of 3D integrated circuits, advanced packaging, and heterogeneous integration; AI hardware accelerators; hardware security; microfluidic biochips; AI for healthcare.

Prof. Chakrabarty is a recipient of many awards, including the Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany, the IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement Award, the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society Charles A. Desoer Technical Achievement Award, the IEEE CAS Society Vitold Belevitch Award, the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) Technical Excellence Award, the SRC Aristotle Award, and the SRC Innovation Award.

His research in 3D chip testing has been broadly adopted by semiconductor companies such as Intel, TSMC, Samsung NXP, Qualcomm, and Mentor Graphics (now Siemens). He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, ACM, IEEE, and AAAS.

He has served as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Design & Test, IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems, and ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems.
