MBALAMUT@USC-ECL.ARPA (10/23/85)

                1986 Custon Integrated Circuits Conference

                             CALL FOR PAPERS

           Rochester Riverside Convention Center, Rochester NY
                             May 12-14, 1986

 The  CICC'86 is sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society, the IEEE
 Solid-State  Circuits  Council.  Its aim is to bring together designers,
 producers,  and  users  of custom ICs to discuss recent developments and
 future directions in custom integrated circuits.

 Original  papers  are  solicited  in the following areas as by relate to
 custom devices and ICs:

   CAD:  device and process  modeling,  circuit  simulation,  logic simu-
   ulation,  fault  grading,  testability analysis,  layout verification,
   and VLSI design aids.

   GATE  ARRAYS, STANDARD CELL, and FULL CUSTOM ICs: tradeoffs and design
   techniques, CMOS, NMOS, Bipolar, and GaAs.

   APPLICATIONS:  the  application  section  will  be focused on specific
   areas each year.  This year's topics will be Digital Signal Processing
   ICs, and smart sensor ICs.

   FRABICATION  TECHNOLOGIES:  silicon  and non-silicon, mixed processes,
   and direct wafer writing.

   CUSTOM INTERFACES: voltage/current translators, fiber optic integrated
   transceivers, etc.

   PACKAGING:  hybrids  and  custom  interconnects, high speed/high power
   packaging.

   TESTING   and   RELIABILITY:   design   for  testability,  measurement
   techniques.

 TUTORIALS  and  PANEL  DISCUSSIONS  are  planned.   Send suggestions for
 topics  to  Technical  Program Chairman by September 15, 1985 at address
 below.

 EXHIBITS  by custom IC companies, including workstations suppliers, will
 run concurrently with the conference.

 PROFESSIONAL  EDUCATIONAL  SEMINARS  are  scheduled  for May 15, the day
 following the conference.

 INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

 Authors  are  asked  to  submit sixty (60) copies of a 250-word summary,
 including  a  35-wird  abstract  representing  original unpublished work
 suitable  for  a  20-minute presentation.  The summary and abstract must
 include  the  specific  new  results  that  will  reported.  A carefully
 written  abstract  is  important since it will be used in the Conference
 Program.  One copy of additional supporting documentation, not to exceed
 four  pages, is encouraged. DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS DECEMBER 2, 1985.
 Papers  received  after  December  2 will be considered late paper.  THE
 AUTHORS'S NAME, AFFILIATION, COMPLETE ADDRESS, AND TELEPHONE NUMBER MUST
 APPEAR ON THE SUMMARY.

 Notice  of  acceptance  will  be mailed by January 28, 1986.  Authors of
 accepted  papers will be required to submit a manuscript by February 28,
 1986  of up to four pages, including figures, in camera-ready format for
 publication in the Conference Proceedings.

 Late  papers  received  by  March  1,  1986,  will  be  considered for a
 10-minute presentation.

 SUMMARIES  AND  ABSTRACTS  SHOULD  BE  SENT  TO:  Mrs.  Roberta  Kaspar,
 Executive  Secretary CICC '86, 20 Ledgewood Drive,  Rochester, NY 14615,
 (716)865-7164.  Other correspondence should be addressed to Dick Bryant,
 Technical Program Chairman.
