The 21th IEEE technically co-sponsored International Conference on Microelectronics ICM’09 will be held in Marrakech, Morocco. ICM’ 09 is held in cooperation with Ecole Mohammadia d’Ingenieurs and the University of Waterloo.
ICM has been held in numerous countries across the Middle East and Asia over the past 20 years. ICM 2009 will include oral, poster sessions and tutorials given by experts in state-of-the-art topics.
The regular technical program will run for three days. In addition, tutorial sessions will be held on the first day of the conference. Papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following topics:
1- Circuits and Systems
* Analog and RF circuit design techniques
* Digital Signal and data processing
* Wireless communication systems
* Nonlinear circuits
* Systems on Chip (SoCs)
* VLSI for signal and Image processing
* Integrated antenna and front-end co-design
* Signal Processing in Communications
2- Computer-Aided Design
* Simulation (process, device, circuit, logic, timing,functional)
* Layout (placement, routing, floor planning, symbolic, ERC, DRC)
* Silicon optimization
* Parallel embeded systems
* Testing: formal verification
* CAD for FPGAs
* High level synthesis tools
* Design for testability
3- Micro / Nanoelectronics
* Device characterization and modeling
* Device physics and novel structures
