2005 SYMPOSIUM ON VLSI CIRCUITS

Welcome to the 2007 Symposium on VLSI Circuits
�Twentieth Anniversary�


You are cordially invited to attend the 2007 Symposium on VLSI Circuits, to be held on June 14-16th, 2007, at the Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto in Kyoto, Japan. The Symposium will mark its twentieth anniversary of the first Circuit Symposium. Following the tradition, the Symposium on VLSI Circuits will follow the Symposium on VLSI Technology at the same location. The Symposium has established itself as a major international forum for presenting and exchanging important ideas and new developments in VLSI circuit design. We have expanded the digital-field scope to include largescale system level issues as they affect cross-layer circuit integration, in addition to 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 13th, a one-day Short Course will be held. This short course will focus on �Design for Variability in Logic, Memory and Microprocessors� where experts will give educational talks on this timely topic in VLSI circuits. On the same day, we have a Workshop on �Advanced Topics on Multi-Standard Wireless Transceiver RFIC Designs.� With a single Short Course/Workshop registration fee you can select to attend either session. This year, the technical program committee reviewed 343 papers, which is record high for Kyoto Symposium, and selected 103 papers for presentation. The core tradition of the Symposium is the paper quality and this year the committee has selected very high quality papers representing the scope of the symposium. We have also invited four distinguished speakers to describe recent advances and new challenges in the areas of future mobile phones, analog power consumption, microprocessors for game consoles, and organic electronics. 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 and mix with the participants. The rump sessions explore: �Analog Scaling and SOC integration�, �CMOS Scaling: Where will Economics Set the End of the Line?�, and �Are Design Tools and Methodologies Measuring up to the Challenge of the DFM Era?�. The rich technical content of the program will undoubtedly interest you, and we certainly hope that the Symposium will be a fruitful and enjoyable experience. This booklet contains the advance program together with forms for the Symposium registration and hotel reservations. Please complete and return these forms or visit our website for online registration at /16web/symposia.html. Although on-site registration will be available at the conference, preregistration will facilitate Symposium planning. We look forward to meeting with you at the Symposium in Kyoto.

  Compact models play a key role in DFM era, especially in variability-aware LSI design. There are questions as to the capabilities of these models, effectiveness in design, and credibility when design is concurrent with process development. The panel addresses some key questions.

- Are empirical Spice models sufficient or do we need to invest on better physical models for new materials and device architecture? - Can we trust these models calibrated with limited process data? - How do we accurately account for variations when design is concurrent to process development?
- How do we properly distinguish between systematic and random variations?
- Can we trust physical OPC, etching, and CMP models for predictions?
- Do the Spice variation models even matter when there are so many other sources of errors such as tool limitations, crude static timing assumptions, MCF approximations, and the exclusion of MIS and crosstalk?

R-1 Special Evening Talks: �Analog Scaling and SoC Integration� [Suzaku I, II]

Organizers
  A. Matsuzawa,   Tokyo Institute of Technology
  B. Nauta,   University of Twente
1) What Should We Develop for Future RF Applications?
     T. Ohguro, Toshiba
Recently, the telecommunication system has become complicated as Multi-band and multi-system have been popular. And MOSFETs with high RF performance has been required for mm-wave application. In this session, we will discuss what technology and elements we should develop for future RF application. Device engineer has some questions. Advanced MOSFET with extremely higher fT is the first priority? Or are high Q Inductor, high-density capacitor or RF MEMS such as switch, variable capacitor, filter and resonator more important?

2) Nanometer CMOS Trends: From Device Properties to Circuit & System Performance
     M. Vertregt, NXP Semiconducters
Implications of nanometer CMOS technology scaling (90nm, 65nm, 45nm and an outlook to 32nm) for the MOS device properties relevant to circuit design will be explored. The demand is for high speed and/or high dynamic range circuits, without compromising power consumption. The possibilities to fulfill this demand in combination with the inevitable increase of local and global variabillity will be discussed.

3) SiP Versus SoC: RF System Partition for Cost and Performance
     A. Maxim, Silicon Laboratories
Partitioning the signal path of a radio receiver is crucial to the overall system cost and performance. Two major integration approaches have emerged: single-chip System-on-Chip (SoC) in which both the sensitive RF front-end and the noisy digital back-end are realized on the same die and multi-chip System-in-Package (SiP) where the analog frond-end and the digital core are realized on separate dies that are co-located in the same package. Design challenges and circuit/system solutions are presented for both SoC and SiP receivers. The different integration approaches including single-chip RF-to-digital SoC, SiP assembly of a stand-alone tuner and a demodulator-on-host, or between a tuner-demodulator and a separate back-end MPEG host processor are investigated for the case of satellite TV applications.

4) Challenges of Circuit Engineers to Analog Scaling
     M. Hotta, Musashi Institute of Technology
     K. Suyama, Epoch Microelectronics
In the case of mixed-signal system LSIs which integrate such analog functions as ADCs, DACs and RF circuits, we are not allowed to neglect the miniaturization and power reduction of analog portion while CMOS technology scaling is progressed. Trends in miniaturization and power reduction of analog functions will be introduced and some challenges to overcome problems in use of finer technologies will be discussed.

CMOS Scaling: Where Will Economics Set the �End of the Line�? [Suzaku III]

  M. Polcari,   Sematech
  B. Rozich,   IBM
CMOS scaling is no longer making devices better or faster for digital applications. Because of this, continued scaling is being driven largely by the fact that scaling is still reducing the cost of a transistor. Unfortunately, this a trend that cannot continue forever, as tooling and fabrication challenges multiply for deeply-scaled CMOS nodes. Where will economics set the �end of the line�? What players or markets will determine this �end of line� scaling node? Will FinFETs, double-gate structures (and other alternatives to conventional CMOS devices) ever make sense from an economic perspective?
