Huiming Bu

Dr. Huiming Bu is responsible for IBM global Semiconductor R&D strategy across world-wide labs. He oversees R&D activities in advanced logic, chiplet and advanced packaging, emerging memory and analog AI hardware at IBM Research. In addition to leading semiconductor technology R&D agenda, Huiming is also responsible for IBM Research Albany Lab site and fab operations.

Huiming has ~20 years of professional experience in semiconductor technology R&D at IBM after he received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Yale University. Huiming has authored/co-authored 100+ technical publications and holds 100+ patents in semiconductor domain.

Huiming started his technical career at IBM on High-κ/Metal Gate project and then led SOI FinFET research and early development for IBM’s 14nm node technology. After that, Huiming and his team delivered 10nm/7nm technology R&D for IBM and its Joint Development Alliance (JDA) partners. They are now working on 2nm development and 1nm & beyond pathfinding R&D. Recently, as IBM formed Semiconductors division under IBM Research, the footprint has expanded from advanced logic to chiplet & advanced packaging, intelligent fab, cloud based EDA and design.
