THE 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, DESIGN AND VERIFICATION – ICDV 2025

THE 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, DESIGN AND VERIFICATION – ICDV 2025
Overview of ICDV 2025 at VNUHCM-University of Science – a convergence of academic researchers and technology enterprises in integrated circuits and semiconductors.

Held from 16 to 17 June at VNUHCM-University of Science, the 10th ICDV gathered experts from universities, research institutes, and technology enterprises in Viet Nam and abroad for a dynamic programme on integrated circuits and semiconductors.

The event was hosted by the IEEE CAS Viet Nam Chapter, in collaboration with VNUHCM-University of Science (via the Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications) and the VNU Information Technology Institute with technically supported by the IEEE SSCS Viet Nam and the IEICE Viet Nam Section.

A Decade of ICDV: From Specialised Workshop to International Academic Network

This year’s event marked a significant milestone in the ten-year journey of ICDV – progressing from a specialised workshop into a respected international academic network. Since the inaugural edition in 2010 in Ho Chi Minh City, ICDV has gradually become an annual forum bringing together researchers, academics, industry experts, and learners. The conference has played a pivotal role in advancing technological innovation and nurturing the semiconductor ecosystem in Viet Nam.

In the opening address, Assoc. Prof. Trần Minh Triết – Vice President of VNUHCM-University of Science – emphasised:

“Hosting ICDV for the third time reflects the university’s long-term commitment to training and research in integrated circuit design – a key field in the national technology strategy.”

Assoc. Prof. Trần Minh Triết – Vice President of VNUHCM-University of Science – delivering the opening address, affirming Viet Nam’s commitment to integrated circuit training and research.

Prof. Trần Xuân Tú – Director & Chairman of the VNU Information Technology Institute and Co-Chair of the Conference – reviewed the evolution of ICDV and underscored the conference’s function as an effective bridge between the research community and enterprises within the microelectronics and semiconductor sectors.

Diverse Tracks – Pioneering Research Themes

The conference featured 25 peer-reviewed papers submitted by international universities and research institutes, covering themes such as: Digital, analogue, and mixed-signal integrated circuit design; ICs for biomedical applications and machine learning; Embedded systems and quantum simulation; Hardware security and lightweight cryptography; RF, microwave, and wireless communication design; and System-on-chip and automotive industry IC design.

Technical sessions at the conference focused on digital–analogue circuit design, hardware security, quantum simulation, and system-on-chip.

Papers were presented by researchers, academics, and technology enterprise representatives from institutes, universities, and leading technology corporations across Viet Nam and countries such as India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and others.

Keynote Highlights – Outstanding Research Recognisation
  • “Advanced Biomedical Imaging Technologies: Circuit Design and Techniques” – Professor Yongfu Li, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China;
  • “Multi-core Multi-thread RISC-V-based System-on-Chip” – Professor Phạm Công Kha, University of Electro-Communications, Japan;
  • “Photonics Integrated Circuits: Enabling the Next Era of High-Speed, Energy-Efficient Computing” – Dr. Lê Quang Đạm, General Director, Marvell Technology Viet Nam;
  • CASS Distinguished Lecture: “Advanced Circuits and Systems for Navigation-Grade MEMS Accelerometers” – Associate Professor Jian Zhao, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.

Keynote speakers presenting offered deep insights into modern IC design trends, including biomedical imaging technologies, multi-core RISC-V architecture, lightweight cryptography, and embedded system integration at ICDV 2025.

Keynote presentations addressed prevailing technological trends such as photonic integrated circuits, biomedical ICs, and multi-core RISC-V systems-on-chip. Special sessions were also held on emerging themes including automotive SoC development, UCIe circuit architecture, and Spiking Neural Networks – a novel hardware-based approach to AI core design.

All accepted papers will be published on IEEE Xplore and indexed in Scopus, thereby supporting global academic outreach.

Two outstanding papers received the Best Paper Award:

  • Ascon Lightweight Cryptography for FANETs Security – by authors from the VNU Ha Noi – University of Engineering and Technology;
  • Inductorless 5.405 GHz Fractional-N PLL for RF Synthesis – by authors from the University of Electro-Communications, Japan and Ha Noi University of Industry.

ICDV 2025 welcomed international researchers and fostered vibrant academic exchanges among speakers and attendees.
Commitment to Sustainable Development

In the closing remarks, Assoc. Prof. Lê Đức Hùng – Head of the Department of Electronics, Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, VNUHCM-University of Science, and Co-Chair of ICDV 2025 – expressed gratitude to the organising bodies, sponsors (Marvell Technology Inc.), academic staff, students, guest speakers, international delegates, partners and all participants.

Assoc. Prof. Lê Đức Hùng (Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, VNUHCM-University of Science) – Co-Chair of ICDV – delivering closing remarks and highlighting ICDV’s role in academic networking and semiconductor workforce development in Viet Nam.

Assoc. Prof. Lê Đức Hùng underscored ICDV’s role as a sustainable academic platform for building high-quality research and technical expertise in semiconductors, and expressed hope that ICDV 2027 would continue expanding partnerships, sharing knowledge, and driving the growth of Viet Nam’s semiconductor industry.
