ISSCC 2024

18 - 22 February 2024 | San Francisco, California, USA

Building on 70 years of innovation in solid-state circuit design

Imec

Imec is present at the 2024 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference with 13 contributions, showing its expertise and innovations in ultrasounds, transceiver architectures, analog-to-digital converters, ultrawideband receivers, machine-learning hardware, 3D chiplet integration technologies and micro-transfer printing for heterogeneous electronic-photonic IC. Experts also share their valuable personal and industry insights in various panels & workshops on career development (Kathleen Philips, VP R&D at imec and General Manager of the imec the Netherlands), the opportunity and challenges of mixed-foundry chiplets (Geert Van der Plas, scientific director) and the use of generative A.I. for chip design (Jan Rabaey, CTO). Imec will be represented at ISSCC in booth 1.
