Call for Papers

Austrochip is an annual workshop on microelectronics and integrated circuits in Austria and neighboring countries. It deals with the design of analog, digital, and mixed-signal integrated circuits and systems. The Institute for Integrated Circuits and Quantum Computing of Johannes Kepler University in Linz will organize the 33rd edition.

The Call for Papers can also be downloaded here.

Submissions of original research papers to the workshop should cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to

• Analog, mixed-signal, and RF integrated circuits
• Digital circuits, filters, DSPs, and asynchronous designs
• FPGA design and reconfigurable hardware
• Design methodology, system-level design, giga-scale circuits, network-on-chip
• Embedded systems and IoT, energy-efficient machine learning, low-power designs, RF systems, security aspects
• Verification and testing, signal integrity, device modeling, timing analysis, reliability simulation, EMC, ESD
• Emerging technologies, quantum computing, nano CMOS process, sub-threshold circuits, sensors, organic and biomedical electronics
• Case studies and prototyping

Submissions from academia and industry are encouraged. Especially, PhD students are invited to present their research work related to Austrochip topics, but excellent MSc theses will also be considered.

Review Process and Proceedings

All submissions will be double-blind reviewed and have to fulfill the requirements of IEEE Xplore. The papers accepted by the program committee will be made available in electronic form at the conference and published in IEEE Xplore. The papers will then be indexed by well-known major indexing services like DBLP, ACM, Google, etc. (for details see a list of IEEE indexing agreements here). Submission implies that at least one of the authors registers and presents the paper at the conference.

Important Dates

• Submission Deadline: July 3rd, 2025
• Acceptance of Notification: August 28th, 2025
• Workshop: September 24th-25th, 2025

Instructions for Authors

Papers should not exceed 4 pages written in IEEE A4 format (including bibliography and appendix). The only accepted file format is PDF. Submitted papers have to be anonymous (according to our double-blind review) and have to be written in English. The papers have to follow the IEEE style guide. Templates and more information are available at IEEE.

Paper submission and more detailed information are available at Submission.

Conference Venue

Austrochip 2025 is held in Linz on September 24-25, 2025 at the Johannes Kepler University. We are currently planning a face-to-face event at the JKU campus.
