About ISQED

The International Society for Quality Electronic Design (ISQED), established in 1999, is a professional organization devoted to highlight, promote, and accelerate establishment of industry-wide targets for the "Quality" of the integrated circuit and system designs, and helping to develop metrics and standards for quality electronic design from front-to-back end. The mission of ISQED is to provide forums to present and exchange ideas and to promote research, development, and application of design methods, design processes, semiconductor technologies, IC packaging, test, EDA design tools and methodologies, employed for the design of Integrated Circuits, with a focus on design for quality, manufacturing, yield, and reliability. ISQED emphasizes a holistic approach toward electronic design accelerates the cooperation among the IC design, EDA, semiconductor process technology, IC packaging, test, and manufacturing communities. The International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design is the flagship conference of the organization and has been held successfully for 10 years in California.

The Society recently announced the formation of its "1st Asia Symposium on Quality Electronic Design" to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 15-16, 2009 (see http://www.isqed-asia.org).
