SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS Sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society and the Japan Society of Applied Physics In Cooperation with the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Hilton Hawaiian Village Honolulu, Hawaii USA June 15 - 17, 2004 The 2004 Symposium on VLSI Technology welcomes submission of papers on all aspects of VLSI technology. The scope of the symposium is: - new concepts and breakthroughs in VLSI devices and processes - new functional devices including quantum effect devices with possible VLSI implementation - materials innovation for MOSFET and interconnect in VLSI - advanced lithography and fine patterning technologies for high density VLSI - process/device modeling of VLSI devices - packaging and reliability of VLSI devices theories and fundamentals related to the above devices - new concepts and technologies for VLSI manufacturing SUBMISSION OF PAPERS This year we will be offering online submission of abstracts. Information will be available by the middle of December. Prospective authors must submit papers in the format of two pages of camera-ready copy. Those interested in submitting hard copy submissions should contact their respective secretariat, as early as possible, to receive an author's kit. The papers are to be submitted in final form and, if accepted, will be published as submitted. The 2 camera-ready copies of the two page paper and 52 DOUBLE-SIDED copies are to be sent to Widerkehr and Associates (North America and Europe) or to the Business Center for Academic Societies Japan (all countries except North America and Europe) or.
