Abstract :
This keynote deals with how ICs and MEMS can address energy issues like the generation, the conversion, the use, the storage, of energy. Energy management is indeed a major issue for the world. Several domains are reviewed like equipment, buildings, lighting, transport, industry. Such a topic complements another important topic addressed usually for ICs and MEMS themselves, namely the design of low-power devices. A way for future ultra low power devices is also addressed. ICs and MEMS for energy management can be obtained from CMP that is briefly reviewed.
