This Special Issue of the IEEE Journal of Solidstate Circuits highlights some of the best papers presented at the Symposium on VLSI Circuits, held on June 15–19, 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this was the first VLSI Symposium that was held fully virtual. While it is difficult to replace all of the interactions of an in-person conference, the symposium featured all of the technical material, including regular and invited papers, plenaries, short courses, and a forum. In addition, new content was added, including a series of executive sessions where paper authors, technical program committee members, and the audience engaged in open discussions on key topics related to our field. While the live events were concentrated in that one week, on demand content was available through the end of August for participants to view at their leisure.

2020年VLSI电路专题讨论会特刊简介

IEEE固态电路期刊的这一期特刊重点介绍了在2020年6月15日至19日举行的VLSI电路专题讨论会上介绍的一些最佳论文。由于Covid-19大流行，这是首次举办的VLSI专题讨论会完全虚拟的。尽管很难代替面对面会议的所有互动方式，但该专题讨论会以所有技术材料为特色，包括常规论文和特邀论文，全体会议，短期课程和论坛。此外，增加了新内容，包括一系列执行会议，论文作者，技术计划委员会成员和听众就与我们领域相关的关键主题进行了公开讨论。虽然现场活动集中在那一周，但到8月底为止，点播内容仍可提供，供参与者在闲暇时观看。
