NTU Shines in A-SSCC 2025 Chip Innovation

The 2025 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC) took place from November 2–5 in Daejeon, South Korea. Ahead of the conference, the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Taipei Chapter hosted a press briefing at the National Taiwan University (NTU) Alumni Hall on October 27 to showcase Taiwan’s outstanding research achievements. Industry and academic leaders, including UMC Chairman Lu Chao-Chun, praised Taiwan’s research teams for their global excellence in solid-state circuits.

Taiwan had six papers selected for presentation at A-SSCC 2025, highlighting contributions from National Taiwan University (NTU), National Tsing Hua University, and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Notably, National Taiwan University’s Professor Chen Hsin-Shu’s team presented an energy-efficient 4th-order delta-sigma ADC design that balances high resolution, medium bandwidth, and low power consumption, while Professor Yang Chia-Hsiang’s team introduced a multi-level runtime reconfigurable array (RTRA) chip capable of switching between 24 programs in under 1 microsecond, ideal for edge computing applications.

Overall, Taiwan continues to lead in AI-on-Chip, ADCs, power management, and analog front-end technologies, demonstrating its strong R&D capabilities and establishing National Taiwan University (NTU) as a key driver of solid-state circuit innovation in Asia.
