S2. Advanced Materials & Process Technology
Architecting the Angstrom Era: A New Paradigm in Materials and Processes
This session will highlight cutting-edge research and development in advanced materials and process technologies as the foundational architects of the Angstrom era. Prominent presenters from global research institutes and industries will share their insights on three focused themes: memory, equipment and materials, and BEOL. The eight exceptional presentations, including visionary invited talks from imec and IBM, will address major technical challenges and deliver transformative solutions for the next generation of computing by exploring AI-driven materials advances, atomic-level process control, and innovative interconnect technology to overcome physical scaling limits.
