Technical Program—Tuesday PM Rump Sessions

8:30 PM R-1
Steep Slope or Slippery Slope
Location: 101 Thomas
Session Organizers:
Heike Riel, IBM Zurich
Suman Datta, Penn State University

Panelists:
Alan Seabaugh, Notre Dame
Joerg Appenzeller, Purdue University
Dennis Sylvester, University of Michigan
Dimitri Antoniadis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Steep slope devices are being touted as a possible replacement for traditional MOSFETs for commercial and military integrated circuits which operate with extremely low power consumption without sacrificing performance. Many challenges remain towards demonstration of these steep slope devices from optimum materials selection to device architecture choice to performance benchmarking metrics to circuit application needs as research continues in this exciting area. This panel will assemble leading researchers from industry and academia to provide their valuable insight into the slippery or not so slippery slope that lies ahead for steep slope devices.

 
8:30 PM R-2
Watts New?
Location: 102 Thomas
Session Organizers:
Dimitri Pavlidis, Technical University Darmstadt
Diana Huffaker, UCLA

Panelists:
Lawrence Kazmerski , National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Bruce Gnade , University of Texas at Dallas
Jerry Woodall, Purdue University
Fred Sharifi, National Institute of Standards and Technology
Eric Yeatman, Imperial College London
Seth Hubbard, Rochester Institute of Technology

Despite heightened interest in clean renewable sources of electricity there exist cost/performance barriers which have historically limited broad adoption of candidate technologies, and even mature ones such as photovoltaics. Advances in materials research and manufacturing, coupled with changes in technology such as the emergence of pervasive portable electronics and extremely low power consumption electronics may finally allow for diverse energy scavenging devices to find use in the near future. However, many challenges still remain in integrating disparate technologies, and in meeting cost and performance requirements for specific applications. This panel will assemble leading researchers from industry, academia, and government labs to provide their valuable insight into the opportunities and challenges in realizing commercially viable energy harvesting technologies.
