The ISSCC 2019 Conference Theme is “ENVISIONING THE FUTURE”
The relentless progress of solid-state circuits and systems has a profound impact on our daily lives, changing the way we work, communicate, and even socialize. The advancements in Silicon IC technology predicted by Moore’s Law have been fueling this progress, but pursuing this trend further becomes increasingly more challenging from technology and economic perspectives. Stimulated by these difficulties, the solid-state circuit community is exploring a multiplicity of paths for further development: from novel technologies (innovative devices and integration techniques, such as qubits, spintronics, 3D, and photonic integration), to original approaches (such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)), to new applications (such as wearable electronics, IoT, virtual reality, autonomous driving, robotics, and many more). It is difficult to clearly envision the way forward in this vibrant but complex emerging world: Thus, ISSCC 2019 is seeking innovations that will inspire the future of solid-state circuits and systems.
