The Frontier of Electronics Researchby Michael Mayberry

Monday, May 131700hGrand Ballroom East

The current era of semiconductor researchis heavily dependent on the incorporation ofnew materials into structures measured innanometers. For the next decade, these trendsare expected to continue and will suffice to

improve the traditional metrics of performance-power and costs.Neverthelessthereareinflectionpointscoming,bothfortechnologyand for products, which will require advanced research to deliversolutions in time. Traditional computation is morphing and noveltechnologiesunderinvestigationwillrequireamoreinterdisciplinaryapproach.Therearemanychoicestobemadebutarichfutureliesaheadofus.

MiChael C. Mayberry is Director of Components Research,which is the research arm for the Technology andManufacturingGroupofIntel.Heisresponsibleforongoingresearchtoenablefutureprocess options for Intel’s technology development organizations.This scope includes internal research, external university research,andotherexternalcollaborations.

Since joining Intel in 1984 as a process integration engineer,Mayberryhasheldavarietyofpositions.Aspartof theCaliforniaTechnologyDevelopment team, he developed EPROM, flash, and

logic wafer fabrication processes. In 1994 he moved to Sort TestTechnologyDevelopment,mostrecentlyasDirector,responsibleforroadmapsanddevelopmentoftestprocessesforIntelmicroprocessors.In2005,hemovedtoComponentsResearch.

Mayberry received his PhD in physical chemistry from theUniversityofCalifornia,Berkeleyin1983andhisBachelor’sdegreeinchemistryandmathematicsfromMidlandCollegein1978.

Semiconductor properties include current, potential, andimpedance characteristics that can be used to directly measurechemical or physical stimuli on the semiconductor surface. Thewideenergybandgapsemiconductorgalliumnitride(GaN)materialsystem is attracting much interest for commercial applications ofgreen,blue,andUV lightemittingdiodes (LEDs), laserdiodes,aswell as high speed and high frequency power devices.Due to thewide-bandgapnatureofthematerial(3.2eVforGaNascomparedto1.12eVforSi),itisverythermallystable,andelectronicdevicescanbeoperatedattemperaturesupto500ºC.TheGaNbasedmaterialsarealsochemicallystable,andnoknownwetchemicaletchantcanetch these materials; this makes them very suitable for operationin chemically harsh environments.GaNbased sensors for gas andchemicaldetectionaswellasmedicalapplicationswillbepresented.
