Paper Preparation

Papers will be considered on the basis of originality, innovation, and advancing the field. Prototype implementation and measured results will be considered favorably in the ratings.

Requirements:

• Complete paper must occupy no more than three pages including illustrations. Submitted papers which exceed this length will not be accepted for review.
• Each page can contain about 700 words and two illustrations (assuming each illustration is in two-column format). A page could contain as many as six illustrations if they are sized accordingly.
• A page of figures should be Arial font and no smaller than 8 pt size.
• When preparing the final pages, please carefully follow the instructions in the Author’s Guide 8.5×11 or A4.
• Please avoid the use of special international fonts in the main body text, figures, charts, and tables in the paper submission.
• The authors may use the first page for text and the second and third pages for pictures.
• You must have approval from your organization before submitting your paper to the 2026 IEEE/JSAP Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits. The IEEE/JSAP Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits views as an unprofessional practice the withdrawal of a paper once it has been submitted by the author, accepted by the Program Committee, and widely announced in the Advance Program. Withdrawal of a paper or failure to present a paper at the Symposium after the Advance Program is distributed jeopardizes both the Symposium’s credibility and the author’s professional reputation.

Prospective authors must submit paper abstracts with the three-page paper format according to the Symposium guidelines. Accepted papers will be published as submitted with no revisions permitted. Authors must follow detailed instructions provided in the “Authors” section of the website, including the Authors’ Guide and Pre-publication Policy. Students are encouraged to apply to the prestigious Best Student Paper Award. Extended versions of outstanding papers will be invited for publication in the IEEE Transaction on Electron Devices, IEEE Journal of  Solid-State Circuits, and IEEE Solid-State Circuits Letters.
