Design and technology co-optimization provide key advantage in the highly competitive market today. However, integrated circuit (IC) engineering traditionally separates design and technology and the two don’t use the same language, let alone understand each other. This is not a winning approach moving forward. Savvy IC engineers require a deeper understanding of the interdependencies between design and technology options to expand the product optimization window. ICICDT is, by design, a forum for engineers, researchers, graduate students and professors, to cross the design-technology boundary by bringing design, technology, and process experts together. Its unique format of each paper has a short presentation and a poster is designed to encourage asking questions and sharing knowledge on a one to one basis during the poster session.
