INTRODUCTION

The integrated circuit (IC) industry is a cornerstone of modern technology, driving advances in electronics since its inception in the late 1950s. With the rapid growth of smart devices, IoT, and 5G networks, the demand for advanced ICs has surged, requiring sophisticated designs to handle higher data rates and improved power efficiency. Additionally, the rise of AI, machine learning, and autonomous vehicles has created a substantial need for high-performance and specialized ICs.

As the global push towards digital transformation accelerates, the need for cutting-edge IC solutions in industries like healthcare, automotive, and industrial automation continues to grow. This necessitates significant advancements in semiconductor technologies, including more efficient transistors and innovative materials.

To address these demands, the International Workshop on Teaching and Training Experience in Integrated Circuit Designing has been established. This workshop aims to enhance education and training in IC design, ensuring a skilled workforce capable of driving future innovations in the IC industry.
