Call for Workshops
Kyoto, Japan (November 13, 2026) – The 2027 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits announces a Call for Workshop Proposals in support of the conference theme: “From Atoms to Intelligence – VLSI Empowering Society.” The workshop sessions are designed to explore cutting-edge research in areas that have not been covered in detail in the Symposium technical program and could evolve into future Symposium sessions. The workshop sessions will be held in person during the Symposium.
The submission deadline for the workshop proposals for the Symposium is December 22, 2026 at 23:59 JST, with acceptance notification in early January 2027.
The Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits invites workshop proposals that include the following information:
- Title of the workshop
- Description
- Organizers (brief biographies and affiliations)
- Topics (potential presentation segments)
- Potential speakers
- A one- to two-page abstract
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Emerging quantum and beyond-CMOS technologies
- AI-assisted materials discovery, design, and manufacturing
- Sensors, robotics, and physical AI
- Hybrid bonding and 2.5D/3D heterogeneous integration
- Optical I/O and photonics
The 2027 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits will be held June 20-24, 2027, at the Rihga Royal Hotel in Kyoto, Japan. The Symposium will feature advanced VLSI technology developments, innovative circuit designs, 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 Symposium will continue its reputation as the microelectronics industry’s premier 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, an evening panel discussion, joint focus sessions, short courses, and workshops.
Submission deadline: December 22, 2026, 23:59 JST
