DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hussam Amrouch is currently a Research Group Leader at the
  Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)\, Germany\, and he is recently ap
 pointed to Junior Professor at the University of Stuttgart. Dr. Amrouch re
 ceived his Ph.D. degree from KIT in 2015 with the highest distinction (su
 mma cum laude) and since then he is leading the Dependable Hardware Resear
 ch Group. His main research interests are emerging technology and design f
 or reliability from device physics to processors. He has published so far 
 more than 65 publications in multidisciplinary research fields like semico
 nductor physics\, circuit and CAD. He holds seven HiPEAC paper awards and 
 has three best paper nominations for his work on circuit’s reliability i
 n top design automation conferences (DAC’16\, DAC’17 and DATE’17). H
 e currently serves as Associate Editor at Integration\, the VLSI Journal.
  \nAbstract: Negative-Capacitance Field-Effect Transistor (NCFET) is eme
 rging as a promising new technology with various advantages as well as new
  challenges compared to conventional CMOS technology. NCFET technology can
  operate at lower voltage while they may still provide the same level of p
 erformance. While the exact trade-offs are still to be explored\, it is ob
 vious that lower power designs are possible. However\, employing NCFET tec
 hnology will have significant effect on circuits\, architecture and system
  level management techniques. For example\, as opposed to conventional CMO
 S technology there is an asymmetry in the on-current that needs to be addr
 essed at the circuit level. Another example is the power consumption: part
 icularly the leakage current has an inverse tendency as a function of the 
 supply voltage. That means that conventional power management techniques f
 or multi-core will not work any longer since they would lead to sub-optima
 l results depending on system-level workload properties. These are some ex
 amples of the implications at the architectural and system level that will
  be discussed during this talk after a short general introduction to NCFET
