This collection of papers from the symposium on VLSI technology discusses circuits and system implementations. It covers topics such as: circuits for dialogue, analogue, memory, communications and signal processing applications; A/D and D/A converters; and innovative circuits and device structures.

The Symposium on VLSI Technology has alternated each year between sites in US and Japan. In 1987, the first Symposium on VLSI Circuits was held in conjunction with Technology Symposium in recognition of the growing interest to provide the same small but intense and open forum for discussing circuits and system implementations. For many reasons, these meetings remained linked for the past years to provide opportunities for technology people and circuit and system designers to interact with each other.
