International Solid-State Circuits Conference
International Solid - State Circuits Conference ISSCC short is an event of the IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society of the IEEE. It takes place since 1954 in February instead, currently in San Francisco. The event lasts for five days now. It is aimed at developers of ICs, SoCs and students whose study is oriented in this direction. The conference is organized to show the latest developments to the participants and to give them the opportunity to socialize.
History
After John Bardeen and Walter Brattain H. had described the transistor by Bell Laboratories in 1948 in the Physical Reviews and explained in 1949, "Technical Subgroup 4.1: Transistor Circuits " IRE dealt with the organization of conferences to advance this technology. Lead in this was the IRE group from Philadelphia, in 1954 the first conferences in Philadelphia organized together with the Moore School of Electrical Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania under the name " Conference on Transistor Circuits". Here the transistor and basic circuits for small and large signal processing was presented.
Back in 1959, called the conference " Solid - State Circuits Conference," and dealt with electronics for microwave, storage, applications for semiconductor diodes, Hall elements and ceramic filters.
Starting in 1960, the conference was no longer aligned in Philadelphia but alternately in San Francisco and New York. Due to its proximity to Silicon Valley, the number of participants on the West Coast was getting bigger. Therefore, the conference in 1990 moved permanently to San Francisco.
Topics today
Today ( 2012) dealt the conference with such diverse things as " beam -forming techniques and RF transceiver design ", " Stable VLSI design and systems for a sustainable society ", " 10-40 Gbit / s I / O design for data communication "," computer -aided image processing "," bioelectronics for sustainable health care "or" Leistungs-/Durchsatz-Optimierung for multi-core processor SoCs. "
In addition to renowned scientists and industrial partners, students will have the opportunity to present their work.
