    Filling the Gap in Semiconductors: How to Nurture Ideas into Products

    This mini-episode is taken from episode 2, How the Semiconductor Industry can Regain the Hearts and Minds of Innovators; in that episode, Markus spoke with Todd Younkin, the President, and CEO at Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC). They discuss the concept of the "valley of death," where innovative ideas get stuck in the middle between research and industry. They also touch on the need for a more continuous and fluid pipeline between basic research, applied research, and early development to create a technology advantage for the US and other like-minded nations. This episode provides a fascinating insight into the world of semiconductors and the vital role played by organizations such as SRC in driving innovation forward.

    Understanding Transistor Architecture and Scaling with Suman Datta

    This mini-episode is taken from episode 8, in which Markus spoke with Suman Datta, Joseph M. Pettit Chair Professor in Advanced Computing at Georgia Tech, about the future of transistors in the industry. In this clip, Suman explains how FinFETs are currently the workhorse of the industry and how the transition to nanosheet transistors could lead to better performance and lower operating voltage. He also touches upon the challenges of delivering power to these transistors and how backside power delivery and conversion on the chip itself could mitigate these issues. Suman's passion for transistors extends beyond just the channel, gate stack, and other components; he is also exploring alternative transistors, efficient power delivery networks, and low-temperature processed transistors for integration in interconnects and memory elements.
