ISSCC enters the nanoelectronic integrated-circuit era

ISSCC 2005 in San Francisco, California, 6–10 February, the foremost global forum for new developments in the integrated-circuit industry, will feature the theme “Entering the nanoelectronic integrated-circuit era.” With the appearance of integrated circuits having transistor dimensions less than 100 nm, integrated circuit technology is moving from the microelectronic era into the nanoelectronic era. Three Plenary Session speakers will launch the three-day conference with their comments and views on the challenges ahead.
