2023 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits

VLSI Symposium is an international conference on semiconductor technology and circuits that offers an opportunity to interact and synergize on topics spanning the range from process technology to system-on-chip.

We appreciate you to visit the VLSI symposium website. We also would like to invite you to join “2023 Symposium on VLSI technology and Circuits,” which will be held from Sunday, June 11 to Friday, June 16 at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto in Japan. 2023 Symposium is planned as a fully in-person event in Kyoto for the first time in four years. On-demand access to technical papers will be available for people who cannot travel to Kyoto. We keep monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and will inform you any changes in the symposium program.

About the Symposium

Professors Shoji Tanaka and Walter Kosonocky, founders of the Symposium, first organized the VLSI Technology Symposium in 1981 with the hope of offering an opportunity for world’s top technologists to engage in an open exchange of ideas on what was quickly becoming a revolution in the world’s industrial capability. Since then, the Symposium has been held annually and has grown to be an important and valuable event for people working in the VLSI business. The presentation of high-quality papers has made it possible for attendees to learn about new directions in the development of VLSI technology. The friendly atmosphere has made this an enjoyable learning experience.

The Symposium on VLSI Technology has alternated each year between sites in US and Japan. In 1987, the first Symposium on VLSI Circuits was held in conjunction with the Technology Symposium in recognition of the growing interest to provide the same small but intense and open forum for discussing circuit and system implementations. Since then, this annual meeting has increased its value over the past 30 years. We are confident that so many new technologies and circuits were introduced in the past Symposia and thus have contributed to the prosperity of the world. Its sponsors continue to be the IEEE Electron Devices Society and Solid-State Circuits Society, and the Japan Society of Applied Physics in cooperation with the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.

For many reasons, these meetings have remained linked for the past years to provide opportunities for technology people and circuit and system designers to interact with each other. These interactions are augmented with short courses, invited speakers and several evening panel discussions, Forums, Workshops. In recognition of the efforts of organizers, authors and participants to make the Symposia successful, there is ample banquet and entertainment prearranged.

In its 42nd year of delivering a unique convergence of technology and circuits for the microelectronics industry, the 2022 Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits had been merged into one Symposium to maximize the synergy across both domains.

After the 2020 meeting had been held in a fully virtual format due to COVID-19, the 2022 meeting was held in Honolulu, Hawaii. This year it will be returning to the RIHGA Royal Hotel in Kyoto, Japan in June of 2023.

DATE AND LOCATION

The 2023 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits will be held on June 11-16, 2023, JST respectively.
All the meetings will be held at RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto, Horikawa Shiokoji, Shimogyo ku , Kyoto 600 8237, Japan.

Held as a six-day at the Rihga Royal Hotel, as well as selected presentations and panel sessions, the Symposium will feature advanced VLSI technology developments, innovative circuit designs, and the applications they enable, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, wearable/implantable biomedical applications, big data, cloud / edge computing, virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR), robotics, and autonomous vehicles.

The weeklong Symposium will continue its reputation as the microelectronics industry’s premiere international conference integrating technology, circuits, and systems with a range and scope unlike any other conferences. In addition to the technical presentations, the Symposium program will feature a demonstration session, evening panel discussions, joint focus sessions, short courses, workshops, and a special forum session that provides a focused discussion on a specific topic relevant to the Symposium theme.
