Abstract :
More than 200 papers will explore the synergy between the various dimensions of integrated circuits in the nano-electronic era by exploring novel circuit concepts and systems and interrelationships among the four dimensions of IC innovation (technology, devices, circuits, and system architecture). Plenary addresses will include "Foundry Future: Challenges in the 21st Century," by Morris Chang, "Analog and Mixed-Signal Innovation: The Process-Circuit-System-Application Interaction," by Lewis Counts, and "Toward a New Nanoelectronic Cosmology," by Joel Hartmann .
