ESSERC 2024

Imec experts will take part in many presentations and discussions of recent advances in solid-state devices and circuits. 

One of the highlights will be the workshop on imec's N2 Pathfinding-PDK. It will explain the importance of public PDKs for advanced nodes, the role of academia in the future of CMOS, and how EDA companies like Synopsys and Cadence can bridge the gap between academia and industry using P-PDKs.

Imec will be present at ESSERC 2024 with a booth on NanoIC, 2D-EPL, and imec.IC.link's ASIC development services.

Event details

The first “European Solid-State Electronics Research Conference - ESSERC” is scheduled for Bruges, Belgium, September 9-12, 2024.

The historical link with both ESSDERC and ESSCIRC remains and is also reflected in the new logo and the fact that the conference in Bruges will be referenced as the 50th ESSERC Conference. ESSERC has a single Technical Program Committee, a coordinating Steering Committee, a Conference Chair and Co-Chair and three Track Chairs, i.e., one for Circuits, one for Technologies and one for a Joint Track.
