In November 2022, the team of Professor Sun Weifeng of Southeast University was selected for two papers at the 2022 IEDM conference. The IEDM began in 1955 and held in San Francisco, California, USA, in December 2022. The number of papers published in the IEDM primarily reflects the level of research in a unit's related field.
Since 2012, Professor Sun Weifeng's team has continued to publish articles at the ISPSD (International Power Semiconductor Device Symposium) conference and achieved its first launch at the ISSCC conference in 2021 and the IEDM conference in 2022. In recent years, the panel officially released many significant technological breakthroughs in integrated circuit technology.
Chinese mainland contributed a total of 33 papers, while two papers from HKU and one from HKUST were selected, bringing the entire Chinese mainland to 36 papers. Peking University selected 12 papers (including two invited reports), Tsinghua University selected six papers, and the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences selected three papers, ranking the top three! Southeast University and the University of Science and Technology of China each have two papers. Beihang University, Fudan, East China Normal University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shandong University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xidian University, and Westlake University each have one paper. Its Middle East South University, University of Science and Technology of China, and Westlake University are all selected papers for the first time.
IEDM (Annual Conference on Microelectronics and Nanoelectronics) mainly covers semiconductor and electronic device technology. Technological innovation from design, manufacturing, physics, and modeling. Since 1988, the content of power semiconductors has gradually separated from IEDM, and ISPSD (International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs), a top academic conference recognized by the power semiconductor industry, has been established. The IEDM conference was attended by scholars, scientists, engineers, business executives, and government agencies worldwide. The main topics included nanoscale CMOS transistor technology, advanced memory, display technology, sensor/MEMS devices, quantum and nanodevices, optoelectronic devices, power devices, energy harvesting technologies, and ultra-high-speed devices, as well as semiconductor process technology, chip design, and simulation. In addition, the latest research advances in silicon-based, compound, and organic semiconductor materials and devices will be discussed and presented.
At the same time, the IEDM conference and the ISSC and VLSI conferences enjoy high academic status and extensive influence in the academic and industrial circles in the field of international semiconductors and integrated circuits. It is mainly because conference articles need academic innovation and reflects the results' industrial value and technological frontier.
Every year, internationally renowned semiconductor companies such as Intel, IBM, Samsung, IMEC, TSMC, and world-renowned universities, release their latest research progress at the three major conferences. The three significant conferences have a long history, especially ISSCC and IEDM, which were held before the invention of integrated circuits and can be said to have accompanied the development of the semiconductor and integrated circuit industries.
