  The end of traditional transistor scaling brings unprecedented new opportunities to semiconductor devices and electronics. In this new era, heterogeneous integration of new materials becomes key in order to add new functionality and value to electronic chips. This talk will review some examples of these new opportunities, including 1. Gallium Nitride vertical power transistors and CMOS logic for a much more efficient electric grid; 2. One-layer-thick molybdenum disulfide wi-fi energy harvesters to enable ubiquitous electronics; 3. High temperature CMOS technology to power future missions to Venus; and 4. A new generation of cell-sized autonomous electronic microsystems to revolutionize environmental monitoring and healthcare. The seminar will conclude with a reflection on how the democratization of heterogeneous integration and the unique properties of extreme materials will transform our society just as Moore’s law has done for the last 50 years.
