60 Years of (EM)powering the Future

ISSCC 2013 is the 60th Conference in an incredibly long-lasting series. Following the invention of the transistor in 1947, there was a developing interest in transistorcircuit design. This coalesced in 1954, with the creation of the first “Conference on Transistor Circuits”, held in Philadelphia, sponsored by the IRE, one of the predecessors of the IEEE. Since then, transistor-circuit design which evolved into integrated-circuit design has changed the world like no other technology ever has. Propelled by this sixty-year history, ISSCC 2013 will provide a special opportunity for looking back to the future, toward further exciting developments in solid-state circuits and systems. ISSCC remains the premier forum in the world where circuit innovations are presented. In this role, ISSCC will continue to (em)power the future!
