VLSI conference

The Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits is the premier international conference integrating technology, circuits and systems, providing a forum for technology people and circuit and system designers to discuss recent developments and future directions.

This year, the 42nd VLSI 2025 and its satellite workshops has been held in Kyoto (Japan) on 8-12th of June. At the satellite Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop (SNW) Marco Massarotto co-first-authored the paper titled “Unified Memcapacitor-Memristor Memory for Synaptic Weights and Neuron Temporal Dynamics", a paper born from Marco's work during his PhD research period abroad in Elisa Vianello's Neuromorphic Group at CEA-Leti in Grenoble (France). 

In this work, a novel memory stack unifies memristive and memcapacitive behaviours, whose dual functionality is exploited to design a neuromorphic circuit that enables simultaneous control of both spatial and temporal dynamics, yielding software-comparable performances for speech-processing and classification.
