Tutorial 1: Compound Semiconductor with particular focus on the increasing role of wide bandgap semiconductors in electronics
Speaker: Prof. Srabanti Chowdhury (Stanford)
Tutorial Abstract:
We live in a very exciting time, often identified as the age of the fourth industrial revolution. With electrification at every level, we are witnessing the most significant transformation of transportation since the internal combustion engine. Smart devices, including appliances, equipment, and machinery, supported by the IoT, are becoming more intelligent and affordable. Robotics and autonomous vehicles promise to transform our lifestyles. Among all these new waves of technology, the idea of achieving a carbon-free energy system by 2050 is now more than a commitment and requires energy efficient electronics at every level.
Compound semiconductors in the form of III-Vs have enabled high speed electronics. A member of compound semiconductors known for its large energy bandgap and labeled as Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, present a pathway to enable much of these electronics with higher efficiency and newer functionalities, complementing Si. Semiconductor devices with higher power density have unprecedented value in both power and high frequency electronics. Reducing energy losses is not only critical for minimizing consumption of limited resources, but it also simultaneously enables compact and light weight solutions — the basis for a new industry offering increased performance at reduced system cost.
The success of gallium nitride has opened the door to other ultra-wide bandgap materials (e.g., Diamond, Aluminum Nitride and Gallium Oxide), presenting new area of research covering a wide spectrum from materials, physics, devices, and applications. In this talk I will focus on advancement of Wide bandgap materials and devices and walk you through some of our recent findings in electrical transport, as well as thermal management.

Tutorial 2: Meeting Signal Integrity & Reliability Requirements in Automotive SoC
Speaker: Murali Mohan Thota (Texas Instruments)
Tutorial Abstract:
Signal integrity (SI) is the analysis, design and validation of the interconnects (chip, package, board) necessary for successful transmission of digital signals. Logic designers accustomed to working with binary logic can find the apparently imprecise, analog nature of SI particularly frustrating. Signal integrity engineering borrows ideas and practices from many branches of electrical engineering. This diversity can make SI seem mysterious, sometimes inconsistent and sometimes difficult to understand. In this talk, I will describe multiple signal integrity challenges in recent SOC designs and methods to overcome such challenges.

Tutorial 3: Building a multi protocol wireless IoT Device
Speaker: Tarun Chaplot (Silicon Labs)
Tutorial Abstract:
Most IoT devices need wireless connectivity, and increasingly, more than one wireless interface. A device using Bluetooth may need a Wi-Fi interface for ensuring operation using voice commands; a Wi-Fi device may need Bluetooth for provisioning; a Thread device may need Wi-Fi for connecting to the external world, and so on. Emerging IoT standards such as Matter from the Connectivity Standards Alliance define protocols for building interoperable IoT ecosystems that use a multitude of connectivity methods. This tutorial describes how wireless coexistence is built into the Silicon and how performance, power consumption, and interoperability are addressed. It then provides a hands-on experience of how IoT devices can be built using multi-protocol wireless modules taking IoT evaluation kits from Silicon Labs as an example. It covers device hardware design, software application on the device, and software on the cloud to complete the IoT solution.

Tutorial 3: Security for Deep Learning – A Hardware Perspective
Speakers: Prof. Chip Hong Chang and Wang Si (NTU)
Tutorial Abstract:
This tutorial will expose the security flaws and weaknesses that can impact the integrity and confidentiality of the deep learning hardware systems. Model integrity is a primary pillar for artificial intelligence (AI) trust to ensure that the system deliver and maintain the desirable quality of service and are free from unauthorized deliberate or inadvertent manipulation of the system throughout the lifetime of their deployment. A superior and well-trained deep neural network (DNN) classifier requires heavy investment on large labelled training dataset, human expertise and enormous computing power. It is not only an intellectual property (IP) of high market value but also consists of private and sensitive information. Unfortunately, existing DNN hardware implementations mainly focus on throughput and energy efficiency optimization, which can unintentionally introduce exploitable vulnerabilities. The situation is aggravated by the trend of deploying trained model on edge computing devices and leasing of AI models on cloud platform. This paradigm extends the attack surface and opens out an uncharted territory of security threats. Attack vectors such as rowhammer, fault injection and side-channel attacks bring serious challenges on cloud and endpoint devices. In view of the severe consequence of potentially degraded system quality, reliability and performance, as well as leakage of model IP and private data, some solutions have been proposed to enhance the security and trust of DNN hardware. These defenses include resilient hardware design to mitigate the attack impact, obfuscation methods to lock the model IP with specific key, operation masking to remove the dependencies between the processed data and side-channel signatures. This tutorial will focus on deployment threats, hardware attack vectors, reverse engineering of model parameters and inference data recovery on cloud and edge deep learning implementations. Recent efforts in developing resilient and trustworthy DNN hardware and their limitations are also presented and discussed.
