2019 Symposia on
VLSI Technology and Circuits

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2019 Symposium on VLSI Technology and the Technology Short Course to be held from June 10th to June 14th, 2019 at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto in Kyoto, Japan.

For more than three decades, Symposium on VLSI Technology has been one of the world’s premier technical conferences on semiconductor integrated circuits and microelectronics, offering the opportunity for the attendees to learn the state-of-the art semiconductor science and technology for VLSI.

In 2019, we will have fully overlapped program with the 2019 Symposium on VLSI Circuits, like the past two years. The symposium programs are designed to provide the topics both from technology and circuit design aspects, which will be presented by the experts from both industry and academia. Joint Focus Sessions, Joint Evening Panel Discussion, Joint Demo Session and Joint Banquet will be planned to stimulate the discussion and networking between technology people and circuit & system people.

The conference will start on June 10th with a day-long technology short course lectures delivered by well-known experts from industry and academia on topics of highest interest to the VLSI community. The Circuits short course will be offered on the same day as part of fully overlapped program.

Two satellite workshops, “2019 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop” and “2019 Spintronics Workshop on LSI”, will be held at the same location in prior to the technical sessions of the Symposium on VLSI Technology. These workshops will help you to understand the related science and technology in microelectronics.

I hope you will encourage your colleagues to submit the contributed papers in all aspects of the VLSI Technology, and I also hope you will come to join the symposium.

I look forward to welcoming you to beautiful, cultural and traditional Kyoto in June 2019.
