Global InformationInternational Electron Devices Meeting information
The IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) is an annual micro- and nanoelectronics conference held each December that serves as a forum for reporting technological breakthroughs in the areas of semiconductor and related device technologies, design, manufacturing, physics, modeling and circuit-device interaction.[1]
IEDM brings together managers, engineers, and scientists from industry, academia, and government around the world to discuss CMOS transistor technology, memory, displays, sensors, MEMS devices, quantum devices, nanoscale devices, optoelectronics, power, process technology, and device modeling and simulation. The conference also encompasses discussions and presentations on devices in silicon, compound and organic semiconductors, and emerging material systems.[2] IEDM has technical paper presentations and plenary presentations, panel sessions, invited talks, and exhibits.
The IEEE IEDM is where "Moore’s Law" got its name, as Gordon Moore first published his predictions in an article in Electronics Magazine in 1965. Ten years later he refined them in a talk at the IEDM, and from that point on people began referring to them as Moore's Law. Moore’s Law states that the complexity of integrated circuits would double approximately every two years.[3][4]
The IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting is sponsored by the Electron Devices Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
