Special Session
- Industry Program: This special category accepts only papers based on state-of-the-art industrial products. Strong emphasis on systems realized by silicon chips is encouraged. The papers should cover architecture, circuits, process technology, packaging and testing, including characterization results, die and system photos, as well as product demos.
- Demonstration Program: Three demonstration sessions will be held during the Conference. Student Design Contest (SDC) and FPGA Demo will be presented by the authors of selected papers, and Industry Demo including Strat-up Showcase will be offered by industry groups who voluntarily apply for participation without paper submission.
- Special Program: Diverse special programs including Educational Session, Panels, and Mini-Forums will be organized. In addition, other exciting joint programs such as ESSCIRC CICC Joint Session, Young Professionals and Women-in-Circuits (WiC) Joint Mentoring Session, Start-ups Forum, and IT Vision in Asia will be held during the Conference.
Papers related to integrated circuits for intelligent systems are highly solicited. Papers on low-power and/or low-voltage approaches, signal integrity, noise, test, and manufacturability for all the above categories are welcomed. Measurement results are highly recommended, especially for analog, and RF categories. Design methodologies for SiP, and SoC are included in the scope of the conference. Papers only describing CAD tools and CAD algorithms are not considered. Authors must follow detailed instruction provided within the “Authors” section of the website, including the Authors’ Guide and Pre-Publication Policy. The technical content of the accepted paper must not be announced, published, or in any way put in the public domain prior to the Conference. Extended versions of selected papers from the Conference will be published in a Special Issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and a Special Issue of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Letters.
