Invitation from the ISSCC 2007 Technical Program Chair

The conference theme is ´The 4 Dimensions of IC Innovation,´ in recognition of the emerging synergisms between the various aspects of integrated circuit realization. A common theme among many of the papers is how to control power consumption in deep-submicron technologies while pushing for higher performance and functionality. This requires careful optimization among the four dimensions of IC design (technology, devices, circuits, and architecture).
