The aim of ESSERC (European Solid-State Electronics Conference) is to provide an annual European forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in solid-state devices and circuits. It is a continuation of the former ESSDERC-ESSCIRC conference series. The level of integration for system-on-chip design is rapidly increasing. This is made available by advances in semiconductor technology. Therefore, more than ever before, a deeper interaction among technologists, device experts, IC designers and system designers is necessary.
