Silicon 2027
International Conference on VLSI Design, Semiconductor Testing & Advanced Chip Technologies 2027
A day on the physical substrate of computing: design, verification, test and the packaging, memory and photonic technologies that will define the next generation of chips.
International Conference on VLSI Design, Semiconductor Testing & Advanced Chip Technologies 2027
Silicon 2027 closes the FrontierMeet programme with a day devoted to VLSI design, semiconductor testing and advanced chip technologies. It is built for the design engineers, test engineers, device researchers and architects whose work sets the limits of everything discussed on the two previous days.
The programme spans the full stack from device to architecture. Research presentations are paired with discussion of verification, reliability, yield and the economics of advanced nodes and packaging. Contributions are welcome from universities, foundries, design houses, EDA and test companies and independent researchers.
Five tracks
Tracks organise the programme and the review process. Work that spans tracks is welcome and should indicate its primary track.
- VLSI design, verification and EDADigital, analogue and mixed-signal design, verification methodology and design automation.
- Semiconductor testing and reliabilityDesign for test, ATE, built-in self-test, ageing, failure analysis and yield learning.
- AI accelerators and advanced architecturesDomain-specific architectures, dataflow, near-memory computing and system co-design.
- Packaging, chiplets, memory and HBMAdvanced packaging, die-to-die interfaces, memory hierarchies and high-bandwidth memory.
- Photonics and emerging devicesSilicon photonics, novel materials, spintronics and post-CMOS device concepts.
The room we are composing
- VLSI, analogue and mixed-signal design engineers
- Verification, DFT and test engineers
- Computer architects and accelerator designers
- Device, process and packaging researchers
- EDA, IP and semiconductor industry teams
- Graduate researchers in microelectronics
Present across the full stack
Device, circuit, architecture and test researchers share one programme rather than separate rooms.
Discuss what actually ships
Sessions put research alongside verification, reliability and manufacturing realities.
Meet the workloads
Intelligence 2027 and BioFrontier 2027 precede this day. The demands on silicon are in the building.
Be recognised for engineering depth
Recognitions reward substantive contributions to design, test and emerging technology.
One day, five movements
The shape of the day. Exact times, session titles and speakers will be published with the programme and are not yet set.
Registration and opening
Registration, welcome and a framing of the day's design and technology questions.
Research presentations
Peer-reviewed presentations organised by track, with time held for questions after each.
Key discussions and panels
Moderated discussion on verification, reliability and the road beyond current nodes and packaging.
Networking and poster engagement
Structured time with posters and their authors, and unstructured time to meet.
Recognition and closing
Recognition of selected contributions and the closing of the FrontierMeet programme.
Honest status
We publish what is confirmed and label what is not. This ledger is the authoritative record for Silicon 2027.

- Confirmations in progressInvited speakers are being approached. No speaker is confirmed, and none will be listed until confirmed in writing.
- Appointments in progressAppointments to the Scientific Programme Committee, Peer Review Panel and Session Chairs are in progress.
- Announcement coming soonThe conference will take place in Las Vegas, USA. The specific venue will be announced once confirmed.
- Opening date forthcomingRegistration will open on a date to be announced. Fees and any student arrangements will be published with it.
Recognition at Silicon 2027
Recognitions at Silicon 2027 will follow the FrontierMeet award categories. Eligibility, evaluation criteria and the confirmed structure will be published before nominations open.
