2010 Chairman's Message

From its beginning in 1978 as the GaAs IC symposium, CSICS has evolved to become the preeminent international forum for developments in compound semiconductor integrated circuits, embracing GaAs, InP, GaN, SiGe, and more recently, CMOS technology.  Coverage includes all aspects of the technology, from materials issues and device fabrication, through IC design and testing, high volume manufacturing, and system applications.  The IEEE Compound Semiconductor IC Symposium (CSICS) provides the ideal forum to present your latest results in high-speed digital, analog, microwave/millimeter wave, mixed mode, and optoelectronic integrated circuits.  First-time papers concerned with the utilization and application of InP, GaAs, SiGe, GaN and other compound semiconductors in military and commercial products are invited.  Specific technical areas of interest include:

·         Innovative RFIC Device & Circuit Concepts

·         Millimeter-wave/High-Speed CMOS IC

·         Circuit Design & Fabrication

·         Manufacturing Technology & Cost Issues

·         CAD/CAM/CAT Tools & Techniques

·         IC Testing & Methodology

·         Packaging Technology

·         Reliability

·         Advanced Device Applications

·         System Applications (e.g., wireless, vehicular, RADAR, military)

·         Optoelectronic and OEIC applications
