1.  11.00 h: Bio-inspired Polarization Imaging – making the invisible visible
 

  Dr. Jan Van der Spiegel,   Professor of Electrical and Systems Eng,
                              University of Pennsylvania, PA, USA
Abstract: 

Bio-inspired Polarization Imaging – making the invisible visible Dr. Jan Van der Spiegel Abstract The talk will discuss our recent work on CMOS vision sensors for polarization imaging. We will review briefly the concepts of polarization and how it is used by various species in nature to enhance their vision or to aid with navigation and communication. Inspired by the biology we have used polarization for a variety of applications to detect features that are hard to see or even invisible to the human eye.Motivated by the potential advantages of polarization imaging, we have developed a novel CMOS imager that combines the pixel array with micropolarizers.

2.    13.00 h: More Moore and More than Moore working on 3D

 

   Dr. Simon Deleonibus, Chief Scientist/
                             Directeur Scientifique,CEA, LETI, France

Abstract:
Linear scaling CMOS has encountered many hurdles which request new process modules, driven mainly by the maximization of energy efficiency. Fabrication at the sub 10nm node level will request Intrinsic Variability approaching to zero. The rapid growth of mobile, multifunctional and autonomous systems is hardly demanding to reach Zero Power consumption. The solutions to integrate Thin Film based devices, architectures and systems in order to face these challenges are described.
