The aim of the ESSCIRC conference is to provide an annual European forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in solid-state circuits. ESSCIRC, and its sister conference ESSDERC, (which focuses on solid-state devices and technologies), share a single Steering Committee, and are held together to enable both communities to share advances in the technologies and design which enable increasing levels of sophistication and performance in integrated systems.

The advances in silicon technology and the conflicting opportunities and constraints on designers demand closer than ever interaction between technologists, device experts, and circuit and system designers. While keeping separate Technical Programmes, ESSCIRC and ESSDERC will share Plenary Keynote Presentations and Joint Technical Sessions on topics chosen to bridge both communities.

Attendees registered for either conference are encouraged to attend any of the scheduled parallel sessions of their choice. Submissions to ESSCIRC 2010 are solicited describing original contributions in the field of silicon design and implementation.
