The organizing committee of the 2025 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits (VLSI Symposium) has recently announced the paper acceptance results. The School of Microelectronics at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has had three papers accepted for this year’s symposium.

Two papers come from Professor Longyang Lin’s research group:

• Paper 1: “A 425pW, 0.3V, 32kHz Crystal Oscillator in 22nm FDSOI with Adaptive Pulse Injection and Amplitude Regulation Across -40°C to 125°C” — The co-first authors are Wang Xuye (M.S. student, Class of 2023) and Zhu Yingjie (Ph.D. student, Class of 2023).

• Paper 2: “A Radiation-Hardened Neuromorphic Imager with Self-Healing Spiking Pixels and Unified Spiking Neural Network for Space Robotics” — The first author is visiting Ph.D. student Cheng Quan.
  Assistant Professor Longyang Lin serves as the corresponding author for both papers. The School of Microelectronics, SUSTech is the primary affiliation, and this work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).

One paper comes from Professor Yuan Gao’s research group:

• Paper 3: “A Dual-Mode Direct-Drive D-GaN Driver with Reused Inductor and Power Switches for Negative Voltage Generation and Gate Energy Recycling” — The first author is Chu Peng (Ph.D. student, Class of 2022).
  Assistant Professor Yuan Gao is the corresponding author. The School of Microelectronics, SUSTech is the primary affiliation, and this work was supported by the NSFC and the Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission.

About VLSI Symposium
Since its inception in 1987, the VLSI Symposium has become one of the most prestigious conferences in the fields of integrated circuits and semiconductors, alongside ISSCC and IEDM. It is held annually in the summer, alternating between the United States and Japan, bringing together top experts from the global chip industry to discuss the latest breakthroughs and future trends in VLSI technology. The symposium holds significant academic standing and industry influence, with accepted papers requiring not only academic innovation but also demonstrated industrial value and technological foresight.

The upcoming VLSI Symposium will take place from June 8 to 12, 2025, at the Rihga Royal Hotel in Kyoto, Japan, under the theme “Cultivating the VLSI Garden: From Seeds of Innovation to Thriving Growth.” The symposium will feature selected talks and panel sessions focusing on technological transformations driven by surging AI computing demands, covering breakthrough directions such as 3D integration, novel device architectures, and advanced materials, as well as hot application areas including artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things, biomedical electronics, and autonomous driving.
