Welcome note from chair of SCD 2011

It is a big pleasure for me to welcome you to the IEEE Semiconductor Conference Dresden (SCD) 2011. This year, the program includes plenary sessions, technical papers, poster presentations, a student event and an exhibition. The program covers circuit and system design, packaging, simulation and modeling, measuring and testing, semiconductor materials, technologies and fabrication. You have the opportunity to meet leading players and experts from all over the world. Dresden is well known as one of the largest microelectronic centers in the world. However, Dresden offers much more than sophisticated technologies. Do not miss to visit the beautiful old city centre and other sightseeing highlights such as the Elb-Schlösser, Meissen, Schloss Pillnitz or Schloss Moritzburg. If you have time you may go for an event in one of the concert halls or a hiking trip in the Sächsische Schweiz (30 min by train).
