First Announcement and Call for Papers

Starting in 2022, the Symposia on Technology and Circuits are merging into one Symposium to maximize synergy across both domains.

The Symposium encourages submissions in all areas of VLSI Technology and Circuits, including:

• Advanced CMOS devices and technologies
• Advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration
• Beyond-CMOS technologies and platforms, such as quantum devicesand computing systems
• Biomedical devices, circuits, and systems
• Data converters
• Device and system reliability
• Devices and accelerators for machine learning
• Device physics, characterization, and modelling
• Digital circuits, hardware security, signal integrity, IOs
• DTCO and design enablement
• Frequency generation and clock circuits
• Memory technologies, devices, circuits, and architectures
• Power, analog and mixed-signal devices, and circuits
• Process technology
• Processors and SoCs
• Sensors, imagers, IoT, MEMS, display circuits
• Wireless and RF devices circuits and systems
• Wireline and optical transceivers; optical interconnect and processors
• NEW: Innovative Systems, designed with FPGAs and COTS components

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 in two-column format). A page could contain as many as six illustrations if they are sized accordingly. A page of figures should be Arial font and no smaller than 8 pt size. When preparing the final pages, please carefully follow the instructions in the Author’s Guide. Please avoid the use of special international fonts in the main body text, figures, charts, and tables in the paper submission. The authors may 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 2022 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits. The IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits 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 Symposium after the Advance Program is distributed jeopardizes both the Symposium’s credibility and the author’s professional reputation.

All submissions must follow the instructions presented in the Author’s Guide and be formatted accordingly to the Paper Template (word, pdf).

All submissions MUST be 2 pages long. Any other page length will be grounds for automatic withdrawal.

Contacting PDF eXpress Support

Access the Publications Support Center for IEEE PDF eXpress.

You may confirm or replace your paper (including all information registered on Paper Submission Form) on-line at any time up until the submission deadline, Monday, February 7, 2022 23:59 PST (Tuesday, February 8, 2022, 07:59 GMT / Tuesday, February 8, 2022, 16:59 JST)

Notification of Review Result
If accepted for presentation, the content of the paper must not be announced or published prior to the Symposium. The Technical Program Committee will review all submitted papers and authors will receive notification of the Committee’s decision around the end of March 2022.

Copyright Transfer Form
The Copyright Transfer Form must be submitted to the VLSI Secretariat once your paper is accepted. Detailed information will be given in the acceptance letter.
