At this year’s on VLSI Technology and Circuits (June 15-19, 2015), nano-electronics research center imec will present a record number of 11 papers. Imec’s prominent presence at this renowned scientific meeting confirms its leading role in R&D on tackling the challenges to scale logic and memory architectures, and on advanced circuit design solutions.
Next to a record number of papers, imec also contributes with 3 invited talks and1 short course lecture, in panel discussions and with four papers with imec scientists as co-authors. Highlights are a record-performing germanium p-channel FinFET, an active interposer for better 2.5/3D integration, and promising achievements on resistive switching memory devices (RRAM). Imec’s Aaron Thean will deliver an invited talk on nanodevice enablers for emerging applications and the role of an ultra-low leakage switch, Jo De Boeck’sinvited talk is titled: the internet of things (IoT): the Impact of Things and An Steegen is invited to talk about technology innovation in an IoT Era.. In the Circuits Symposium, imec will present a digitally-tunable radio SoC with integrated digital baseband and MAC Processor in 40nm CMOS.
“Imec has participated in the VLSI conference for almost a decade and a half, with a growing importance and impact,” stated Luc Van den hove, president and CEO at imec. “I am elated with the large delegation of imec researchers taking part in this year’s edition. It underscores our commitment to stay at the forefront of research and support our global partner network with innovative solutions.”
