Abstract :
The leading European solid-state conferences, ESSCIRC, which deals with solid-state circuits and systems, and ESSDERC, which deals with solid-state devices and technologies, will be jointly held in Estoril, Portugal, 16–18 September. The main themes of this year´s ESSCIRC conference include: analog circuits; data converters; digital circuits, DSP, and memories; mixed-signal circuits and Systems On a Chip; and RF and VCOs. The main themes of the companion ESSDERC conference include: CMOS and memory devices; modeling, characterization, and simulation; photonics, quantum, and spin electronics; sensors, biosensors, and displays; Si IC technology, interconnect, and packaging; and solid-state and power devices.
