         MR RAJ NARASIMHAN
         Corporate Vice President, Global Quality, Micron Technology, Inc.

         Raj Narasimhan is global quality corporate vice president for Micron Technology. He
         is responsible for all aspects of the company’s quality systems, overseeing
         manufacturing, customer management and product ramps.

         Mr. Narasimhan began his career at Micron in 1995 in the R&D department. During
         that time, he has held various roles of increasing responsibility, including engineering
         manager, fabrication manager and site director at Micron’s fabrication facility in
         Manassas, Virginia. Prior to his current position, he was the senior director of
         front-end operations at Fab 15 in Hiroshima, Japan, where he was responsible for
         maximizing operational efficiency while accelerating the smooth integration of the
         Japan team into the Micron manufacturing network.

         Mr. Narasimhan earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the
         University of Utah and a bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronics
         engineering from the University of Madras in India.

                                                 TOPIC & ABSTRACT

         Driving the Continuous Evolution of a Quality Culture:
         A Micron Perspective
         The automotive industry is fast evolving towards fully autonomous vehicles (AV). The
         need for higher quality automotive grade memory and a faster transition to newer
         technologies is rising in tandem with the increase in the use of Advanced
         driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and other applications involved in AV development.

         standards. Central to this work is an automotive quality mindset that aspires toward
         zero events. The foundation of this mindset is a set of practical tools, systems and
         functional leadership reinforcement, to embed the necessary behavior into the
         corporate culture. At Micron, this culture includes our deep collaboration with
         automotive customers, as we continually engage with them and evolve our activities
         towards zero events.

                                                 TOPIC & ABSTRACT

        Enabling Mobility through mmWave Technologies
        mmWave technology is the driving force and backbone for enabling 5G, IoT, Autonomous
        Vehicles, Smart Cities, Healthcare monitoring and various satellite communications applications.
        With the projected strong growth in demand for these applications, there is a strong push for
        mmWave technologies to be further researched, developed, and deployed for mass adoption.

        However, various key challenges and issues still remain and need to be addressed before these
        technologies can become mainstream. The challenges in current mmWave technologies span from
        improving the range of the signals, increasing the Field of View, improving power efficiency &
        thermal management of the integrated circuits, enabling proper handover of communications from
        one device to another and having good connections for non-linear communication pathways.

        Singapore is in a good position to be a centre for development and deployment of various
        applications riding on mmWave technology. With strong government support, and a vibrant
        SME/LLE/MNC ecosystem, Singapore is well-positioned to develop new solutions for enabling the
        above applications.

        IME is keen to play a central role in supporting the development and adoption of mmWave
        technology. We innovate and integrate our proprietary integrated circuit designs together with our
        partners’ designs, to enable ICs that can be smarter, consume less power, and at the same time,
        have much smaller form factors. Together with our close partnerships with our sister Research
        Institutes, we are gearing for a future of mmWave adoption in satellite communications, smart
        cities, autonomous vehicles and healthcare monitoring.

        The key focus areas of our research help support the new wave of applications utilizing mmWave.
        These include 1) Integration of MMICs / RFICs to Antenna in Package 2) Improving efficiencies of

        handovers and 4) Development of phase shifters for directional beam-forming. These are areas we
        see as integral to solving the component level semiconductor issues facing mmWave technologies.

                                          TOPIC & ABSTRACT

         Making Silicon New Again
         The economic and technical challenges of pushing towards the ultimate physical
         limits of Moore’s Law are burgeoning. Beyond traditional density scaling, increased
         dimensionality, in terms of both transistor design and packaging schemes, is being
         used to obtain further functional and performance improvements. Higher performance
         advanced materials are also being sought to replace silicon as the active material. Yet
         these methods of pushing for a technological edge are very costly, and require

         new wafer fabs.

         A different approach is to start with existing mature processes and infrastructure, and

         as much of the existing silicon CMOS supply chain as possible. By combining the
         right advances in epitaxy, wafer bonding, microfabrication, device design and
         modeling, we can incorporate compound semiconductor circuit elements into
         traditional silicon CMOS integrated circuits, thereby augmenting silicon and making
         silicon new and exciting again.

         This provides a pathway to incorporate efficient optical, wireless and RF elements
         into integrated circuits with a scalable commercial model similar to the existing silicon
         world. This will enable the creation of space-efficient silicon systems that have
         illumination and display functions, and next generation wireless communication
         capabilities, which are well-suited for mobile and automotive applications. As was the

         (ASICs) will lead the way in the utilization of the new silicon.
