When we think of research and development in the Microelectronics industry, we typically think of East Asia, the United States and Europe. However there is a long time conference held in South America called “Chip in [location].”
The “Chip in” is a series of events that started in 2000 with the “Chip in the Jungle”, in the state of Amazon, Brazil. It is the largest conference in Microelectronics in South America, annually held in Brazil. The conference goal is to bring together managers, leading researchers from academia and industry, and students to present and discuss relevant issues related do the major Microelectronics research and development areas.
This years event takes place in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, August 26 to 30, 2019. Sampa is a nickname for São Paulo, so this year's conference is called “Chip in Sampa.” The conference consists of three symposiums, a workshop and student forum. They are listed here
- 34th SBMicro – Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices
- 32nd SBCCI – Symposium on Circuits and Systems Design
- 9th WCAS – Workshop on Circuits and Systems
- 4th INSCIT – Symposium on Instrumentation Systems, Circuits and Transducers
- 19th SFORUM – Undergraduate-Student Forum
One of the invited talks for the Symposium on Circuits and Systems Design is by Bernardo Culau, Director of Characterization, Silvaco, Brazil and takes place on Friday, Aug. 30.
His talk will be on the topic: On-Chip Variation and the Sign-off Timing Flow: An Industry Perspective (more…)
