SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The 72nd annual IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) has issued a Call for Papers seeking original work by the semiconductor industry’s leading researchers in all areas of microelectronics technology, representing the theme “Devices at the Heart of the Intelligence Revolution.”
The 2026 IEEE IEDM will take place December 12-16, 2026 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel, with OnDemand access to recorded presentations after the event.
The paper submission deadline is Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 23:59 PDT. Authors are asked to submit four-page papers electronically in IEEE Xplore®-compatible PDF format and the accepted papers will be published as-is in the proceedings. A limited number of late-news papers covering the most recent, most noteworthy developments will be accepted, with a submission deadline of Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Complete information for paper submission is here.
The IEEE IEDM is the premier forum for technology breakthroughs in semiconductor and related device technology, manufacturing, design, materials physics, and modeling, featuring the world’s leading researchers and scientists who gather to participate in a technical program of more than 220 presentations, panels, three plenary presentations, focus sessions, six tutorials, two Short Courses, supplier exhibits, IEEE/EDS awards, and other events highlighting the latest in semiconductors and microelectronics.
