The following two Rump Sessions are planned for September 17 (Wednesday).

• "What is a guiding principle for CMOS device evolution under 10nm regime and beyond?" (tentative)
  Organizer: S. Takagi (Toshiba, MIRAI-ASET)
• "What paradigm can nanoelectronic devices bring about?"
  Organizer: J. Sone (NEC)

Details on the rump sessions will be announced in the Advance Program.

Two short courses will be held on September 19 (Friday). All lectures are given in Japanese.

"Combined System LSI Pioneering Ubiquitous Society"
Organizer: T. Mogami (NEC)
In the IT society, where network development eliminates information restrictions on time and space, more convenience is pursued for social life. A ubiquitous society is suggested as one of ultimate aspects of the IT society. A variety of new services are suggested in a ubiquitous society that provides an environment connecting every user with anyone or anything, at any time or any place. On the other hand, combined system LSI assumes an extremely important position in realizing a ubiquitous society. In this short course I will lecture on the various types of combined system LSI devices necessary for its realization from an application viewpoint while reviewing what a ubiquitous society is. The course is also expected to be a compass, not only for young researchers or graduate students, but also for front-line researchers, in considering new diversification of semiconductor technology including future system LSI.

"Broadband Information Society Developed by Innovative Nitride Semiconductors"
Organizer: M. Mizuta (NEC)
The incoming ubiquitous society necessitates a network environment for which customers can reach or store necessary information without regard to whatever technology they are using. An extremely important breakthrough in implementing such a society is to construct a broadband network, either wired or wireless, and a network environment consisting of inexpensive terminals that provide a variety of access. This short course focuses on nitride semiconductor devices that are expected to serve as a driving force for implementing such a future broadband & ubiquitous society. Starting with the description of material properties, front-line engineers give easy-to-understand explanations to you from such application viewpoints as cellular phones, wireless access and storage.

Prospective authors must submit a two-page camera-ready paper with all figures and tables from here.
Please note that submissions by post will not be accepted.

Regular Paper Submission : unavailable
Late News Paper Submission : available
The "Online Submission" link for Regular Papers on our website is no longer valid for Regular Papers.
The link now leads to the submission page for Late News Papers.

Deadline for Late News Submission is July 25, 2003.

The two-page paper must be prepared in English in 8.5-*11-inch or A4-format and submitted as a PDF file of less than 1 megabyte. The first page must include the title of the paper, author(s), affiliation(s), address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, and article text. The second page should be used to indicate figures, tables and photographs. Detailed format information will be posted on the conference Web site. The paper should report original, previously unpublished work, including specific results.

Papers to be presented at the conference will be selected by each subcommittee on the basis of suggested areas and content.

Authors of accepted papers will be notified by e-mail before mid-July and requested to give either a 15- to 20-minute oral presentation or a poster presentation.
