IEEE A-SSCC 2019

The IEEE A-SSCC 2019 (Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference) is an international forum for presenting the most updated and advanced chips and circuit designs in solid-state and semiconductor fields. The conference is supported by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society and will be held in Asia. Further details on the conference and paper submission guidelines and templates will be available at the A-SSCC official website http://www.asscc.org/ (or http://www.a-sscc2019.org/) around the beginning of April 2019.

Prospective authors are invited to submit four-page or two-page manuscripts, including figures, tables and references, to the official A-SSCC 2019 website.The two-page submission could include two-page supplements with figures and figure captions.Supplementary figures should not be referred to in the text of the paper.

1. Industry Program: This special category accepts only papers based on state-of-the-art industrial products. Strong emphasis on systems realized by silicon chips is encouraged. The papers should cover architecture, circuits, process technology, packaging and testing, includin g characterization results, die and system photos, as well as product demos.
2. Student Design Contest: A student design contest is held among the accepted papers with system prototypes or measurement results of which operations can be demonstrated on-site. Refer to the web for further information.

Papers related to integrated circuits for next smart society are highly solicited. Papers on low-power and/or low-voltage approaches, signal integrity, noise, test, and manufacturability for all the above categories are welcomed. Measurement results are highly recommended, especially for analog, and RF categories. Design methodologies for SiP, and SoC are included in the scope of the conference; the papers only describing CAD tools and CAD algorithms are not considered. Authors must follow detailed instructions provided within the “Authors” section of the website, including the Authors’ Gu ide and Prepublication Policy. The technical content beyond the abstract of the accepted paper must not be announced, published, or in a ny way put in the public domain prior to the Conference. Extended versions of selected papers from the Conference will be published in a Special Issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.
