State-of-the-Art in Integrated Circuit Design

Dear Colleagues,

Integrated circuits are ubiquitous in many engineering applications. Several challenges associated with circuit modeling and simulation, design automation, circuit synthesis, optimization, layout generation, Monte Carlo simulation, process variation analysis, corner analysis, fault diagnosis, and so on, were surmounted in their fabrication. Nowadays, a circuit designer can choose between different modern fabrication technologies to develop single-transistor amplifiers, active filters, systems on a chip mixing analog, and digital circuits that process continuous and discrete signals. Against this background, this Special Issue will collect works involving state-of-the-art techniques in the modeling and simulation of analog/digital circuits and the fabrication and application of integrated circuits and systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Circuit theory and synthesis;
• Linear and nonlinear circuits and systems;
• Numerical/symbolic simulation of circuits and systems;
• Electronic design automation;
• Noise and distortion analysis;
• Layout-aware;
• Monte Carlo and process variation analysis;
• Analog, digital, and mixed-signal design

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Chips is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
