Chip security is becoming an important consideration for chip designers as semiconductors become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives. With this in mind, the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, presents “Security Constructs for Heterogenous Integration,” the first in a six-part “Savage on Security” webinar series on Thursday, January 23, from 10am until 11am PST.

Warren Savage, Researcher at the University of Maryland in the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security, will moderate the discussion focused on new security that comes from heterogeneous integration. His guest will be Ankur Srivastava, Director of the Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland.
