As IC design & process technology continue to advance for increased performance, lower power, and accelerated time-to-market, the engineering activities, traditionally separated along the boundary of design and process technology, will have difficulties in meeting the shrinking window of product optimization tasks. The International Conference on IC Design & Technology provides a forum for engineers, researchers, scientists, professors and students to cross this boundary through interactions of design and process technology on product development & manufacturing. The unique workshop style of the conference provides an opportunity to technologists and product designers to e xchange breakthrough ideas and collaborate effectively. T wo days of technical presentations and workshops will be preceded by a one-day tutorial program of value to both the expert and the beginner. The venue of 2008 ICICDT will be Minatec® – Maison des Micro et Nano Technologies at Grenoble, France: www.icicdt.org Papers are solicited on: • Design approaches including system, circuit and EDA to manage power, leakage, process variation, signal integrity, reliability, yield, and manufacturability. • Advanced VLSI design, including processors, ASICs, memories, analog and mixed-signal circuits. • System-on-Chip (SoC), System-in-Package (SiP), and IP reuse for fast design closure. • Advanced materials, advanced metallization, and 3D interconnection as both, novel interconnect scheme for future MPUs and approach for realization of SoCs. • Process and circuit technology for advanced memories: MRAM, FeRAM, PRAM, Nanocrystal Memory, Flash, etc with emphasis on reliability. • Advanced transistor structures for bulk, multiple Gate, FDSOI, PDSOI, SSOI, SiGe, etc technologies • RFCMOS characterization, model, simulation for multiple gate technologies • New gate materials for adjusting Vt, enhanced mobility & scalability, low leakage, and low power. • SER, thermal, leakage, PID, reliability, yield, etc effects on advanced transistor structures and circuits. • Simulation & modeling on advanced process, device & circuit. • Nanotechnology materials, devices and circuits. • Emerging IC technologies and circuits crossover such as organic IC's, integrated sensors and integrated actuators. Prospective authors are invited to submit a camera-ready paper of maximum four pages in length, including figures and references. The authors should obtain paper submission guidelines from http://www.ICICDT.org. Accepted/Invited papers will be printed in the proceedings of the conference (also available on CD-ROM). Paper submission deadline is February 29, 2008. |
