Abstract

In this talk, the presenter will share his fulfilling journey of learning and research from neutrino physics to semiconductor devices. He participated in an experiment on neutrino-electron elastic scattering, and discussed initial concepts of detecting solar neutrinos with heavy water D2O. He will describe the experiment and the concepts. In addition, the presentation will cover GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology and high-speed HBT ICs, as well as semiconductor memories. Finally, he will present some recent work on memory-centric computing based on non-volatile flash memories and potential applications for processing big data with artificial intelligence.
