2019 will be a busy fall for the SOI Consortium and our members.
First off are the SOI Consortium events in Shanghai and Tokyo, which are very popular indeed. We now have the dates & locations locked in, so you’ll want to mark your calendars:
- Shanghai: 16 & 17 September 2019, FD-SOI Forum / RF-SOI Workshop. Both days will be held at the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai. The first day will focus on FD-SOI. The second day is all about 5G and RF-SOI. These are huge events – to get an idea of the magnitude, you can read our coverage of the 2018 event.
- Tokyo: 30 & 31 October 2019, Japan SOI Design Workshops. This year both days of workshops will take place in the Yokohama Landmark tower. The first day will be devoted to FD-SOI; the second day turns to More-Than-Moore – especially photonics and MEMS. Last year’s workshops were packed with excellent presentations and panel discussions, which we covered here.
The SOI Consortium and members will also be giving talks at Semicon Europa, which is being held 13 – 15 November 2019 in Munich, Germany.
The programs are currently being finalized. As soon as they’re ready, we’ll be sure to let you know so you can register and/or share the news with your colleagues and clients. But in the meantime, make sure you save the dates.
Would you like to check out the presentations given at Consortium events in previous years? If you hover your cursor over the Events tab at the top of our home page, you’ll get a drop-down menu of events for the last five years (we’re working on adding more – we’ve been doing these events for over a decade!). Click through to any past event and you’ll land on a page where you can download most of the presentations that were given there. Of if you’re looking for past presentations given by any particular company, use the search engine at the bottom of any page on our website.
S3S
You’ll also find many of our members at the IEEE/EDS S3S Conference in San Jose, CA, October 14 – 19th. S3S (formerly known as The SOI Conference) has been running in various forms for over 30 years. They always have an excellent line-up of speakers, plus it’s a great opportunity for networking with researchers from across the worldwide SOI ecosystem. BTW, while the deadline for general paper selection has already closed, papers of exceptional merit are currently being accepted for their Late News Sessions. See the 2019 Call for Papers for more information – those Late News papers need to be received by 23 August 2019 for consideration.
Also, IEEE S3S Conference will once again host a full-day short course and a half day tutorial. These are very popular. The short course this year will be on SOI Design and Technology for Analog and Mixed Signal. As of this writing, the program is still being finalized, but more will be announced in the next few weeks, so check back on their website soon for updated information.
