2023 ICICDT is the twentieth edition (20th) in the series of the International Conference on IC Design and Technology, organized since 2004. 2023 ICICDT will be co-organized and held at the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan from September 25-27, 2023.
Design and technology co-optimization (DTCO) plays a critical role in the era of big data with an explosion of new applications in the prominent fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G. To meet the ever-growing demand for speed and power efficiency in data computing and transmission, separating design and technology, as is done in traditional integrated circuit (IC) engineering, encounters significant challenges. The ever-increasing complexity and variability require close interaction and collaboration for best optimization and trade-off by design, device, process and materials. Savvy IC engineers
also require a deeper understanding of the interdependencies between design and technology options to expand the product optimization window. ICICDT is, by design, a forum for engineers, researchers, graduate students, and professors, to cross the design-technology boundary by bringing design, technology, and process experts together. ICICDT has a unique format where each paper has a short presentation and a poster to encourage inquisitive discussions and the sharing of knowledge on a one-to-one basis during the poster session. This conference workshop style provides an excellent opportunity for all attendees to exchange breakthrough ideas and collaborate efficiently.
