To document and learn from the extraordinary record of microelectronics’, including power electronics’, energy efficiency such as increases greater than 1,000,000x in energy efficiency since the invention of the transistor nearly 75 years ago;
To document and learn from microelectronics’ past and forecasted future ability to enable all sectors of the economy to benefit from rapid innovation in computing and communication through extreme energy efficiency;
To identify and publicize problems solved and opportunities offered by microelectronics’ Energy Efficiency Scaling over 2 Decades (EES2);
To participate in the AMMTO-led EES2 2025-2026 R&D roadmapping effort;
To coordinate promising EES2-inspired R&D projects among partners; and
To explore formation of a partnership, an “EES2 Alliance” that enables the EES2 1000X efficiency increase goal by leading EES2 R&D roadmapping after 2025 and by catalyzing the deployment of cost-effective technologies, including power electronics, needed to stay on the EES2 path of doubling microelectronics’ energy efficiency every two years.
We do this because
Microelectronics’ life-cycle energy use is accelerating so rapidly that extreme energy efficiency is necessary to maintain competitive innovation in the near-, mid-, and long-term.
EES2's extreme energy efficiency increases are necessary to do more, faster in critical microelectronics applications such as computing-including AI-and communication.
EES2 is a key organizing principle that enables us to meet new energy demands affordably and reliably; and
The EES2 is a technology leadership path that provides economic national security and other public benefits.
