Society Update
T
The health and safety of our members, volunteers, and IEEE staff are
the number one priority for the IEEE
Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS).
With the COVID-19 outbreak, we
have to remind ourselves how to
ensure health and safety in all of
our activities.
During last several months, the
Society, along with IEEE, has focused
on working with our financially
sponsored conferences-the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), Custom Integrated
Circuits Conference (CICC), Symposia
on VLSI Circuits and Technology, European Solid-State Circuits Conference
(ESSCIRC), and Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC)-to define a
course of action that will minimize the
impact of this pandemic on the hard
work of our conference organizers
and authors while not compromising
health and safety.
The 2020 ISSCC was successfully
held with remote presentations by
authors who could not attend in person due to travel restrictions. For the
first time, the plenary session was
live-streamed for those who could
not attend the meeting. Four new
Society awards were presented at
the conference, including the IEEE
Brokaw Award for Circuit Elegance. It
was truly inspiring to hear Paul Brokaw talking about why he decided
to establish the award. The Society is
blessed to have a pioneer and a role
model like Paul Brokaw.
