The organizers of the 2026 IEEE/JSAP Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits have opened a Call for Workshop Topics aligned with the conference theme, “Advancing the AI Frontier Through VLSI Innovation.” These workshops aim to explore emerging research and practical applications that have not been deeply addressed in past symposium programs and may inspire themes for future sessions. The workshops will take place in person on Sunday, June 14, 2026, during the Symposium, with presentation slides available OnDemand afterward.
The deadline for the workshop submission for the Symposium is December 15, 2025 at 11:59 PST, with acceptance notification in early January 2026. Complete details for workshop submissions can be found online here.
The IEEE/JSAP Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits seeks proposals for workshop submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced Logic and Memory Systems
- Advanced Packaging
- Device Manufacturability
- BEOL Transistors
- Silicon Photonics
- Reliability
- Memory and Analog Computing for AI
- Edge AI
- Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO)
- Quantum Computing
The following information is required (using the online submission form):
- Title of the workshop
- A one – two page abstract and description for committee review
- Organizers (brief biographies and affiliations)
- Topics (potential presentation segments)
- Potential speakers
The 2026 IEEE/JSAP Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits is scheduled from June 14 – 18, 2026 in Honolulu, HI. Now in its 44th year of delivering a unique convergence of technology and circuits for the microelectronics industry, Held as a five-day event, combining both live sessions onsite at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, as well as on-demand access to selected presentations following the conference, the Symposium features advanced VLSI technology developments, innovative circuit design, and the applications they enable, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, wearable/implantable biomedical applications, big data, cloud / edge computing, virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR), robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
The weeklong Symposium will continue its reputation as the microelectronics industry’s premiere international conference integrating technology, circuits, and systems with a range and scope unlike any other conference. In addition to the technical presentations, the Symposium program will feature a demonstration session, evening panel discussions, joint focus sessions, short courses, and workshops.
Special events at the Symposia include mentoring events for Women in Engineering and Young Professionals, sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society and the Solid State Circuits Society, and the traditional luau celebration.
