Once you are ready to submit your source file to the submission site, click on the appropriate link to the Symposium you are submitting to.

If you wish to revise an already submitted paper, please revisit the Online Paper Submission Form, enter the conference ID and Password issued via auto-generated email at the time of submission, and alter your submission with a new file. You can revise or confirm your submission as many times as you wish up until the deadline. To cancel your submission, you should inform the Secretariat in writing.

The abstract is a brief synopsis of your paper. It will be used by the Symposium Technical Program Committee in press releases and pre-Symposium publicity. The abstract should be typed in the Technical Paper Submission Form directly. You must enter plain ASCII text only, and you may not exceed 150 words. Neither tables nor figures may appear in the abstract. For 2014, you WILL NOT create a PDF of your file before uploading.   You will upload a source file to the submission site and the site will create the Xplore compliant pdf for you.  Your file for submission may be one of the following formats; Word (.doc), Word XML Document (.docx), WordPerfect (.wpd), Postscript (.ps),  and LaTex.   The file name should end with the appropriate suffix (i.e., “doc”.). For example, your file could have a name such as “mypaper.doc”.

Papers will be considered on the basis of originality, innovation, and advancing the field. Prototype implementation and measured results will be considered favorably in the ratings. *Your complete paper must occupy no more than two pages including illustrations. Submitted papers, which exceed this length, will not be accepted for review. Each page can contain about 700 words and two illustrations (assuming each illustration is two-column format). A page could contain as many as six illustrations if they are sized accordingly. When preparing the final pages, please follow carefully the instructions in the Author’s Guide. Please avoid the use of special Asian fonts in the main body text, figures, charts, and tables in the paper submission. The authors can use the first page for text and the second page for pictures. *You must have approval from your organization before submitting your paper to the VLSI Symposia. The VLSI Symposia views as an unprofessional practice the withdrawal of a paper once it has been submitted by the author, accepted by the Program Committee, and widely announced in the Advance Program. Withdrawal of a paper or failure to present a paper at the Symposia after the Advance Program is distributed jeopardizes both the Symposia credibility and the author’s professional reputation.

If accepted for presentation, the content of the paper must not be announced or published prior to the Symposia. The Technical Program Committee will review all submitted papers and authors will receive notification of the Committee’s decision around the end of March 2014.

Copyright Transfer Form must be submitted to the VLSI secretariat, once your paper is accepted. Detailed information will be given in the acceptance letter. We thank you for your interest in the Symposia on VLSI Technology & Circuits. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Conference Office. (North America and EU) or (Japan and Asia). Contact information for both Secretariats are at the bottom of this screen.
