The IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers) Transactions on Electronics announces a forthcoming special section on "Solid-State Circuit Design -Architecture, Circuit, Device and Design Methodology" to be published in April 2014. Thanks to the continuous advancement in CMOS device scaling, the number of transistors on a VLSI chip has been ever increasing. It is reaching the level of 10 giga transistors on a single chip, the equivalent of the total number of neurons in the human brain. This would certainly provide us a great opportunity for new applications and information processing. Meanwhile, the demands for advanced circuit and design techniques for coping with leakage current and process variation are increasing.
