CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
TUTORIALS/WORKSHOPS
ISQED 2006 is pleased to offer a single full-day tutorial track, presented
by six experts in their respective fields. This tutorial track consists
of
two (2) major topics shown below. The first topic examines the critical
and
timely issues of "variability" and its impact in design with 65nm and
finer
CMOS technologies. The second topic explores the exciting field of
emerging
Nanoelectronic technologies and their application toward future ULSI
designs.
Variability and Its Impact on Design
Speakers:
Dr. Keith Bowman, Intel Cor****ation
Dr. Michael Orshansky, University of Texas-Austin
Dr. Sachin S. Sapatnekar, University of Minnesota
Emerging Technologies for VLSI Design
Speakers:
Dr. Rajiv Jo****, IBM T J Watson Research Center, NY
Dr. Kaustav Banerjee, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA
Dr. Andre DeHon, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA
PLENARY SESSIONS
Two plenary sessions will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Six
industry & academia leaders will discuss the issues surrounding
electronic
design, design for yield and manufacturability and other critical topics
from various points of view. Plenary keynote speakers are:
Dr. Risto Suoranta, Principal scientist & Research Fellow, Nokia Research
Center
Dr. Tohru Furuyama, GM, To****ba SoC Research and Development Center
Dr. Di Ma, Vice President of Field Technical Sup****t, TSMC
Dr. Raul Camposano, Sr. Vice President, CTO, and GM, Synopsys
Dr. Changhyun Kim, Vice President and Fellow, Samsung Electronics
Dr. Philip Wong , Professor, Stanford University
PANEL DISCUSSIONS
ISQED is pleased to offer two high-power evening panel discussion
sessions,
where many leading experts, address the im****tant issue of quality design.
These panels would focus on the following topics:
1 Power management and optimization challenges for sub 90nm CMOS
designs - What is the real cost of long battery life?
2 Soft IP Quality: Who is really responsible for quality throughout
the design process?
LUNCHEON SPEECH
Simplicity and Executability: Cornerstones of Quality
Michael Keating, Synopsys
VENDOR EXHIBITION
The exhibition is being held for the 1st time in conjunction with ISQED,
features vendors who offer design tools and methodologies in the area of
design for manufacturing and quality. Exhibit floor will be open on
Tuesday
March 28, in parallel with technical sessions. Complementary registration
is
available through the ISQED web site.
TECHNICAL SESSIONS
ISQED Technical sessions start on Tuesday March 27, and continue until the
afternoon of Wednesday, March 29. Beside the above plenary sessions, panel
discussions, and workshops, the program consists of nineteen technical
sessions featuring over100 papers on various challenging topics related
to
design for manufacturability and quality. A partial list of topics is
shown
below. Detail program would be available on the web at www.isqed.org.
0 EDA Tools, Flows & IP Blocks; Interoperability and Implications
(EDA)
0 Design for Manufacturability & Quality (DFMQ)

About ISQED
The International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED) is a
premier Manufacturing, Design & Design Automation conference, aimed at
bridging the gap among electronic design tools and processes, integrated
circuit technologies, processes & manufacturing, to achieve design
quality.
ISQED is the pioneer and leading conference dealing with design for
manufacturability and quality issues front-to-back. The conference
attendees
are primarily designers of the VLSI circuits & systems (IP & SoC),
process/device technologists, semiconductor manufacturing specialists
including equipment vendors, and those involved in the R&D and application
of EDA Tools & design flows. ISQED emphasizes a holistic approach toward
design quality and intends to highlight and accelerate cooperation among
the
IC Design, EDA, Semiconductor Process Technology and Manufacturing
communities. The conference spans three days, Monday through Wednesday,
in
three parallel tracks, hosting over 100 technical papers, six keynote
speakers, two panel discussions, workshops /tutorials and other informal
meetings. ISQED proceedings are published by IEEE Computer Society and
hosted in the digital library. Proceedings CD ROMs are published by ACM.
