International Solid-State Circuits Conference
International Solid-State Circuits Conference ISSCC for short is an event of the IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society of the IEEE . It has been held in February since 1954, currently in San Francisco . The event lasts five days today. It is aimed at developers of ICs , SOCs and students whose studies are oriented in this direction. The conference is organized to show the participants the latest developments and to give them the opportunity to make contacts.
history
After John Bardeen and Walter H. Brattain of Bell Laboratories had described the transistor in Physical Reviews in 1948 and explained it in 1949, the IRE's "Technical Subgroup 4.1: Transistor Circuits" dealt with holding conferences to advance this technology. Leading this was the IRE group from Philadelphia , which together with the Moore School of Electrical Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania organized the first conferences in Philadelphia in 1954 under the name "Conference on Transistor Circuits". Here the transistor and basic circuits for small and large signal processing were presented.
As early as 1959, the conference was called the "Solid-State Circuits Conference" and dealt with electronics for microwaves , memory , applications for semiconductor diodes , Hall elements and ceramic filters .
From 1960 the conference was no longer held in Philadelphia, but alternately in San Francisco and New York . Due to the proximity to Silicon Valley , the number of participants on the west coast grew steadily. Therefore, from 1990 the conference moved permanently to San Francisco.
Topics today
Today (2012) the conference deals with things as diverse as “ Beamforming Techniques and RF Transceiver Design”, “Stable VLSI Design and Systems for a Sustainable Society”, “10–40 Gbit / sI / O design for Data communication "," Computer-aided image processing "," Bioelectronics for sustainable health care "or" Performance / throughput optimization for multi-core processor SoCs. "
In addition to well-known scientists and industrial partners, students are also given the opportunity to present their work.
