42nd European Solid-State Device Research Conference

The Conferences

The 42nd European Solid-State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC) and the 38th European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC) will be held in Bordeaux, France on 17 - 21 September 2012.

The aim of the ESSDERC and the ESSCIRC conferences is to provide an annual European forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in solid-state devices and circuits.

ESSDERC and its sister conference ESSCIRC are governed by a single Steering Committee. The increasing level of integration for system-on-chip design made available by advances in silicon technology is stimulating more than ever before the need for deeper interaction among technologists, device experts, and circuit and system designers. While keeping separate Technical Program Committees, ESSDERC and ESSCIRC will share Plenary Keynote Presentations and Joint Sessions bridging both communities. Attendees registered for either conference are encouraged to attend any of the scheduled parallel sessions.

Areas of interest

The areas of interest for contributions to be submitted to ESSDERC 2012 include, but are not limited to:

Advanced CMOS Devices

Process & Integration

Power, High Frequency and Optoelectronics Semiconductor Devices

Modeling and Simulation

Characterization, Reliability and Yield

Memories

Emerging non-CMOS Devices and Technologies

MEMS and sensors, Displays and SoCs, 3D integration, bio devices

In addition to contributed papers and plenary lectures, the event will include tutorials, exhibits and satellite workshops to be organized before and after the main conference. An attractive social program will accompany the event, featuring a welcome reception, a gala dinner with awards ceremony, a farewell reception and excursions.
