Welcome to 2025 Symposium on VLSI technology and Circuits! The symposium will be held from Sunday, June 8 to Thursday, June 12 at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto in Japan. 2025 Symposium is planned as a fully in-person event. On-demand access to technical papers will be also available after the symposium.

Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits is a unique world premier international conference on semiconductor integrated circuits and microelectronics covering a wide range of topics. Attendees will witness the state-of-the-art semiconductor innovations from materials, processes, devices, circuits, systems, and architectures.

The 2025 VLSI Symposium Theme is “Cultivating the VLSI Garden: From Seeds of Innovation to Thriving Growth.” With the development of AI technology, advanced translation, Q&A function, and even fully autonomous taxis are now being available to everyone. Demand for semiconductors continues to expand on an unprecedented scale. On the other hand, the power consumption required for AI processing continue to increase, making it difficult for semiconductors to evolve simply by extending the traditional scaling.

Therefore, efforts are being made to explore the next evolutionary technology and circuits, including 3D integrations, new materials, new principal device and new architecture. We hope that this symposium will help you discover the seeds of technology that will bloom in the near future.

Based on the symposium theme, we plan to have appealing contents, including plenary talks, panel discussions, focus sessions, short courses, and workshops.

We would like you and your colleagues to submit the contributed papers in wide range of aspects in VLSI area by January 27.

And again, we look forward to seeing you in beautiful Kyoto, where you can visit seventeen historical interest spots registered as a World Heritage Site!
