The VLSI Workshop sessions are key elements of the 2024 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits program. The Workshop sessions will be held during the VLSI Symposium in person and available for on demand viewing. The topics and scope of the Workshops are merging research and application, which has not been covered in detail in the technical program of the symposium and could be the future new areas of the symposium.
