Theme

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning: Tactical and Strategic Impacts to Microelectronics Design and Test

About MDTS 2023

The IEEE Microelectronics Design & Test Symposium (MDTS) provides a forum for academic and industry researchers and engineers to discuss the latest advances in microelectronics, share their visions in modern microelectronic technologies, and foster academic-industry collaboration.  The 32nd MDTS features artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL).  AI/ML/DL algorithms can be used to improve design and test by evaluating the accuracy and effectiveness of models, design rules, and test coverage.  In addition, new circuits and chip architectures for AI/ML/DL applications are emerging, presenting new challenges to design and test in the form of reticle-size die, chiplets, and hardware/software co-design.
