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Authors are asked to submit sixty (60) copies of a 250-word summary, including a 35-wird abstract representing original unpublished work suitable for a 20-minute presentation.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.
