Program committee 1962 ISSCC

The 1962 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference features ten daytime sessions at the University of Pennsylvania (Irvine Auditorium and University Museum) devoted to broad advances in the field of solid-state device applications and circuits. FORTY-SIX papers will be presented. Subject areas include logic, microwave parametric circuits, new devices and device characterization, memory, high-speed switching, low-noise amplification, tunnel-diode applications, digital transmission, functional components, and design applications. THE FORMAL OPENING of the conference includes an invited address on active homogeneous semiconductor devices. ELEVEN INFORMAL sessions, conducted by international leaders in the solid-state field, will be held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the Sheraton Hotel to provide registrants an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the art. AMONG THE TOPICS on the agenda are distributed logic, interconnection problems, microwave power sources, magnetic thin-film memories, noisemanship, and charge-control characterization of semiconductor devices. Additional discussion periods cover nanosecond circuitry, optical masers, thin-film magnetic and superconductive techniques in future computers, low-level signal processing, and high-power high-speed switching.
