ISSCC stands for International Solid-State Circuits Conference. It was founded in 1953. With more than 60 years of history, it has become the largest, most authoritative and highest-level international solid-state circuit conference in the world. ISSCC has always been the flagship conference of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society and is even known as the Semiconductor Olympics.
近年来,随着我国在科研上的持续投入,我国的ISSCC论文入选方面也有了显著提升。据ISSCC国际技术委员会远东区秘书罗文基副教授介绍,今年,ISSCC共收到651篇,创新高,200篇入选,收录率达30.7%,比去年稍微降低。
Associate Professor Luo Wenqi further pointed out that there are a total of 12 technical categories in the ISSCC 2022 papers. In terms of proportion, the technical directions, radio frequency circuits, machine learning and other fields are relatively stable, but the proportion of papers on wired transmission is still small, and there has been a significant increase in memory.
Judging from the regional distribution and trends of the selected papers, they are mainly distributed in Europe, North America and the Far East. Among them, a total of 99 papers were selected from the Far East this year, which has a significant increase over last year and has occupied an important position among the three regions.
In terms of country and region distribution, this year's selected papers involve 19 countries and regions around the world.
Judging from the distribution of enterprises and universities, 2/3 of the selected papers are from universities, 69 of which are from universities in the Far East region, and the remaining 30 are from enterprises and research institutes.
Although the number of selected papers from the United States this year has decreased compared with previous years, it is still a very strong competitor, with a total of 69 papers selected. The number of selected papers from South Korea, mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao has increased significantly, and Taiwan also has 15 papers selected. The number of selected papers from Japan has also decreased compared with previous years, with only 7 papers selected.
This year, more than 75% of the papers in the Far East region were selected, significantly more than those in the North America region. The dominant areas include memory, image sensors, neural interfaces, and processors for specific fields.
Professor Luo Wenqi also mentioned that the paper written by Professor Xu Jiawei’s team from Fudan University won this year’s Silk Road Award.
At the meeting, Associate Professor Lu Yan, the representative of the ISSCC International Technical Committee in China, introduced the selected papers and development trends in China this year. Specifically, a total of 30 papers from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao were selected this year.
