Toshiba Printer Issues
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Hello MSE Department, It seems the large printer by Josh also wanted to go on spring break and is having some technical issues. A technician has already been called out to take a look. It is printing a large grey mark on the paper. If you need a print job, you are welcome to send it to the printer beside my desk (ARMS2200p1), which only prints black and white, or the student success printer, which does print in color (See Josh or Maddi for this printer). I will send out a follow-up note when it's fixed. Hope you're having a great spring break!

MSE 390 Seminar Information
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Hello Students, Prof. Islam wanted me to share this information for today's seminar Time: 3:30pm Location: ARMS 1010 Semiconductor Technologies Enabling the Trillion Transistor Era Abstract: Exponential progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) owes much to remarkable advancements in hardware and software technology. The hardware technology roadmap is guided by the PPACt metrics: low Power, high Performance, reduced Area, low Cost, and rapid time to market. To achieve continuous improvement in hardware requires seamless synergy between its logic, memory, power, packaging, and networking building blocks. Moreover, additional constraints arise from yield, reliability, and sustainability considerations. We will discuss, § Past, present, and future of logic technology, focusing on transistors and interconnects. § Innovative device architectures as promising candidates for next-generation transistor technology such as horizontal Gate-All-Around (hGAA) and Complementary FET (CFET) § Novel interconnect materials and integration schemes such as Backside Power Delivery Network (BSPDN) § Roadmap from billions to trillions transistor era § Expediting technology roadmap with greater collaboration between academia and industry Short bio of the speaker here https://www.semiconkorea.org/en/node/9901<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.semic…> Thanks, Maddi Walsh Senior Administrative Assistant School of Materials Engineering Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering Office: 765-496-0460 [cid:8cdee7d2-b73b-4168-b21f-0655522b3858]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>
