Author Guidelines

Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit full-length (6 pages maximum), original, unpublished papers along with an abstract of at most 200 words. Previously published papers or papers currently under review for other conferences/journals should NOT be submitted and will not be considered. To enable blind review, the author list should be omitted from the main document. The manuscript as a single PDF is to be submitted online through Easychair. The IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings should be used, which can be found here.

Authors can submit their papers for the main track of IEEE ISVLSI 2025, via EasyChair.

Papers are encouraged to target one of the following program tracks:

• Circuits, Reliability, and Fault-Tolerance (CRT):
  Analog/mixed-signal circuits design and testing, RF and communication circuits, adaptive circuits and interconnects, design for testability, online testing techniques, static and dynamic defect- and fault- recoverability, variation aware design, VLSI aspects of sensor and sensor network.
  
• Computer-Aided Design and Verification (CAD):
  Hardware/software co-design, logic and behavioral synthesis, simulation and formal verification, physical design, signal integrity, power and thermal analysis, statistical approaches.
  
• Digital Circuits and FPGA based Designs (DCF):
  Digital circuits, chaos/neural/fuzzy-logic circuits, high speed/low-power circuits, energy efficient circuits, near and sub-threshold circuits, memories, FPGA designs, FPGA based systems.
  
• Emerging and Post-CMOS Technologies (EPT):
  Nanotechnology, molecular electronics, quantum devices, optical computing, spin-based computing, biologically-inspired computing, CNT, SET, RTD, QCA, reversible logic, and CAD tools for emerging technology devices and circuits.
  
• System Design and Security (SDS):
  
Structured and custom design methodologies, microprocessors/micro-architectures for performance and low power, embedded processors, analog/digital/mixed-signal systems, NoC, power and temperature aware designs, hardware security, cryptography, watermarking, and IP protection, TRNG and security-oriented circuits, PUF circuits.

• VLSI for Applied and Future Computing (AFC):
  Neuromorphic and brain-inspired computing, quantum computing, circuits and architectures for machine learning and artificial intelligence, methodologies for on-chip learning, deep learning acceleration techniques, applications for and use-cases of learning systems, sensor and sensor network, electronics for Internet of Things and smart medical devices.

IEEE Camera-Ready Submission Instructions

1. Paper Formatting

• Your final paper must strictly follow the IEEE conference format.
• Please check the Author Guidelines section.

2. PDF Compliance (IEEE PDF eXpress)

• Use IEEE PDF eXpress to ensure your file meets all IEEE Xplore requirements.
• Steps:
1. Go to IEEE PDF eXpress
2. Use the Conference ID: 65124X
3. Register as a new user if needed.
4. Upload your source file or PDF.
5. Download the certified PDF for final submission.

3. Copyright Form

• Submit the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) via EasyChair as part of your camera-ready paper submission.
• Only one author (the corresponding author) should complete the copyright form.

4. Final Submission

Submit the following materials:

✅ Final Camera-Ready PDF (from IEEE PDF eXpress) via EasyChair

✅ Copyright Form via EasyChair

✅ Presenter Details (name, affiliation, email, …) via conference’s online registration system

✅ Short bio of the presenter of your paper(s). This bio will be used by session chair(s) to introduce you to the conference audience.

⚠️ Notes

• The camera-ready submission is final. No further edits will be accepted after the deadline.
• Failure to comply with the guidelines may result in the paper being excluded from IEEE Xplore and conference proceedings.
• All submissions will be subject to a plagiarism check to ensure content originality. If plagiarism is detected, the paper will be excluded from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and the official conference proceedings without prior notice.

Paper presentation template

No specific template is required for paper presentations; you are welcome to use your own presentation format.

Guidelines for Short Papers and Student Research Forum (SRF) Papers – Poster Presentations

All Short Papers and Student Research Forum (SRF) Papers accepted to IEEE ISVLSI 2025 will be presented as part of the official conference program through a brief oral presentation:

• 5 minutes for Short Papers
• 6 minutes for SRF Papers

In addition, each Short/SRF paper must also be presented as a poster. A dedicated stand will be provided for each poster and will remain available throughout the entire duration of the conference.

Important Guidelines for Poster Presentations:

• Posters must be printed in paper by the authors and brought to the conference.
• Poster size must be A0 size (841 x 1189 mm), in portrait orientation. Please note that landscape-oriented posters are not compatible with the display stands and will not be accepted.
• You will be informed of your assigned stand during on-site registration (July 6th, 17:00 – 20:30).
• At least one author must be present at the poster stand during the poster session to engage with attendees and respond to questions.
• You are free to use your own poster template. The conference does not require a specific design format.
