History


The CAS Conference has been organized in Romania yearly since 1978. The initial name was the Annual Semiconductor Conference (acronym CAS) and the first editions were organized by ICCE (Institute of Research for Electronic Components).
Starting with 1991, CAS was opened to the international scientific community and changed its name accordingly to  the International Semiconductor Conference, still maintaining the same acronym (CAS).
The conference became an IEEE event in 1995, being sponsored by the IEEE EDS (Electron Devices Society).
Since 1997, the Conference was organized by the National Institute for R&D in Microtechnology (IMT Bucharest), as this institute resulted from merging of IMT (Institute of Microtechnology) with ICCE. Consequently, the conference profile has been gradually extended from semiconductor devices physics and technology (including semiconductor materials and microelectronics) to micro- nanotechnologies.

In the last decades, the conference was frequently accompanied by satellite events:
- networking and brokerage events: FIT-4-NMP Networking and Brokerage Event at CAS 2022; Micro-nanotechnologies in Horizon Europe Calls - event organized by CESMIN project at CAS 2021; Driving talented organisations to successful Horizon Europe projects - event organized by FIT-4-NMP H2020 project at CAS 2021 (https://www.imt.ro/cas/events.php)
- workshops organized by European projects funded by FP7, Horizon 2020 programmes, such as: WAPITI (STREP), PATENT (NoE), 4M (NoE), AMICOM (NoE), INTEGRAplus (IP), MEMS-4-MMIC (STREP), SMARTPOWER (IP), MIMOMEMS (CSA), SOI-HITS (IP), NANOCOM (ENIAC)
- thematic workshops: “New trends in automotive electronics” (organized by Infineon Technology Romania) or “IEEE EDS Mini-Colloquium NADE – Nanoelectronic Devices – Present and Perspectives” (organized by IEEE EDS Romania Chapter)
- tutorials for students (e.g. tutorial organized by Honeywell Romania in 2016)

CAS Conference Proceedings volumes available online

All Proceedings of International Semiconductor Conference (CAS) starting 1995 are available on IEEE Xplore. The papers were indexed by Web of Science since 1996.
