Abstract: Semiconductor technology and industry have never been so important and widely recognized as they are today, driven by many vital societal needs, technology advances and geo-political changes. This talk will start from some economy facts to remind that the success of Moore’s law is really about economics, and it wasn’t about the technical hurdles and other augmentations. Secondly, several key technology development trends, enabling the ever-increased societal needs for digitalization, intelligence and sustainability, will be highlighted. Finally, some personal views on successful semiconductor technology and business development will be shared with stakeholders of semiconductor eco-system.
