Invited Talks

The 2012 edition of the Conference will feature exciting invited talks given by experts in subthreshold microelectronics from both industry and academia. Confirmed invited speakers include:

  • David Blaauw, University of Michigan, Plenary
  • Kerry Bernstein, IBM
  • Srini Sridhara, Texas Instruments
  • Dejan Markovic, UCLA
  • Yogesh Ramadass, Texas Instruments

Ultra-low-power microelectronics will expand the technological capability of handheld and wireless devices by dramatically improving battery life and portability. Ubiquitous sensor networks, RFID tags, implanted medical devices, portable biosensors, handheld devices, and space-based applications are among those that would benefit from extremely low power circuits. One of the most promising methods of achieving ultra-low-power microelectronics is to reduce the operating voltage to below the transistor threshold voltage, which can result in energy savings of more than 90% compared to conventional low-power microelectronics.

Following the success of the first edition, the 2012 IEEE Subthreshold Microelectronics Conference is soliciting papers for oral and poster presentations on fabrication and design of microelectronics operating at voltages below 0.5V, as well as system needs and opportunities for integration of ultra-low-power microelectronics. Participants from Universities, Industry, and Government are all welcome, and student Oral presentations or Posters are also encouraged.

We are fortunate to be able to offer two prizes, co-sponsored by the Systems and Applications R&D Center and Kilby Labs of Texas Instruments and by Qualcomm. The Best Student Paper Award winner and a Best Poster Award winner will be announced at the conclusion of the conference. The awards consist of a certificate and a $2000 prize.
