The 21st Annual Symposium on VLSI Technology will be held in the historic and beautiful city of Kyoto, Japan, June 11-14, 2001. The Symposium on VLSI Technology is jointly sponsored by the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) and the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS). The conference will be held in the Rihga Royal Hotel in Kyoto, Japan. The conference begins with a one-day short course held on Monday, June 11, 2001. This is followed by three days of technical sessions held from June 12-14, 2001. The technical sessions commence with a plenary session given by distinguished invited speakers, and then continue with presentations of submitted technical papers. Evening "Rump Sessions" on topics of current technical interest are also held. A banquet will be held on the evening of Tuesday, June 12, 2001.
The Symposium welcomes the submission of papers on all aspects of VLSI Technology. The scope of the Symposium includes:
Submitted technical papers are reviewed by two technical committees consisting of technical experts from industry and academia. These two committees are a North America and Europe (NAE) committee, and a Japan and the Far East (JFE) committee. Based on the combined ranking of these two committees, the best papers are selected and organized into technical sessions.
One of the strengths of the Symposium on VLSI Technology is its association with the Symposium on VLSI Circuits, which is held each year at the same location during the same week. The 2001 Symposium on VLSI circuits will be held at the Rihga Royal Hotel, June 13-16, 2001. A joint "Rump Session", on a topic of interest to both technologists and circuit designers, will be held on the evening of Wednesday, June 13, 2001.
The 2001 Symposium on VLSI Technology will be the 21st such meeting. The Symposium was initiated for the purpose of bringing together VLSI technologists from around the world in a forum where ideas and results can be exchanged and directions for future advances can be discussed and debated. The location of the Symposium typically alternates between the United States and Japan. The 2000 Symposium on VLSI Technology, held in Honolulu, HI, was attended by more than 600 participants from around the world, including significant attendance from the U.S., Japan, Europe, Taiwan, and Korea.
Kyoto, Japan is a beautiful city which includes a large number of historic sites as well as many modern amenities. The Rihga Royal Hotel is located within walking distance of the Kyoto train station. Overseas travelers may find the most convenient and economical way to reach the hotel is to travel by train or bus from Kansai International Airport near Osaka.
