2001 SYMPOSIUM ON VLSI CIRCUITS

Welcome to the 2003 Symposium on VLSI Circuits

You are cordially invited to attend the 2003 Symposium on VLSI Circuits, to be held on June 12-14th 2003, at the Rhiga Royal Hotel Kyoto in Kyoto, Japan. Following the tradition of the last several years, the Symposium on VLSI Circuits will follow the Symposium on VLSI Technology at the same location.

The Symposium will mark its seventeenth anniversary, establishing as a major international forum for presenting and exchanging ideas on important and exciting new developments in the VLSI circuit design. We have expanded the scope to include new concepts in LSI and physical design tools, in addition to the traditional Analog, Digital, Memory, Signal Processing and Communications circuits. Contributions to the Symposium come from both: industry and academia around the world.

Preceding the Symposium on June 11th, a one-day Short Course on VLSI circuits will be held. This short course will focus on "Low Power Wireless Design". Seven speakers will talk about advanced design techniques for wireless.

This year, the program committee reviewed 206 papers, and selected 77 papers for presentation. These papers disclose new and interesting circuit design concepts for memories, processors, communication circuits, analog, and signal processing. We certainly hope that the technical content of the program will make the Symposium a fruitful and enjoyable event for all the attendees.

We have also invited four distinguished speakers to describe recent advances and new challenges in VLSI; perspective of semiconductor business, nanoelectronic circuits, RF CMOS, and ubiquitous computing.

To complement the formal talks, we have arranged four evening rump sessions on interesting and provocative subjects to give you an opportunity to participate in the discussions with international participants. The rump session topics cover power management, unified custom memory, training analog designers, and reconfigurable processor.

This booklet contains the advance program together with forms for the Symposium registration and hotel reservations. Please try to complete and return these forms as soon as possible. Although the on-site registration will be available at the conference, pre-registration will facilitate Symposium planning.

We look forward to meeting with you at the Symposium in Kyoto.

Dear Circuit, Architecture, and Device/Process Panelist Vice Presidents:
Our audience shareholders will be meeting in a VLSI Symposium panel discussion session this year to decide which of your three teams has made the most important contributions towards resolving the urgent ULSI power consumption crisis, and which of you needs to be replaced. Both dynamic and static power is out of control, and we can no longer accept your promises. Each of you will be given a brief opportunity to defend your discipline's past achievements and to describe your plans for the next technology generation. You then will face your shareholder's questions and complaints. The meeting will conclude with a shareholder decision of who gets the promotion to CTO, who receives more worthless stock options, and who starts a new career in marketing.

Memory technologies in the last few decades have been developed as a universal standard to fit various applications, ranging from PC to consumer electronics.
Future emerging memory technologies should provide a total system solution like SOC. The emerging memory trends will try to provide a unified solution targeting optimal process cost, performance and power. This will be made possible by merging various technologies by either integrated process or packaging, and hence will serve as a unified “Custom Memory” i.e., DRAM, SRAM, NVM, and LOGIC combined together to provide a total system solution or lead to the emergence of new technologies i.e. MRAM, FRAM, or PRAM. This panel session will outline the possible market and the value-added application fields and conclude the feasibility of a unified “Custom memory”.

Though analog design classes are being taught at the undergraduate level, the number of students working in the area has decreased over time while the need for good analog designers has increased. Most schools are also facing the problem of recruiting faculty in mixed-signal design area, since state of the art analog design are being pursued in the industry. Hence, analog education at the graduate level is suffering in majority of the universities. Probably a joint collaboration between university/industry is required to train analog designers.

Research and development of the reconfigurable processor (RCP), whose functions can be modified after chip fabrication, has been going on for more than 5 years. RCP has great potential but its application is still unclear. Currently, various architectures focusing on specific domains are individually striving to commercialize their RCPs. What is the key, or what is lacking in successfully commercializing RCP? Is it the tool for applying RCP? Is the architecture still underdeveloped? Is it the performance determined by device/circuit technology? Is the market simply lacking? Or is there no need for dynamic reconfigurability? In this panel we will discuss the scenario for the future success of the RCP by focusing on its potentials and advantages as well as clarify what is lacking in comparison to the other approaches, i.e. configurable processors, chip multi processors.
