Institute of Integrated Circuits and Systems (IICS)
The Institute of Integrated Circuits and Systems is dedicated to advancing pioneering research in computer architecture, artificial intelligence (AI), and VLSI & design automation, with a core focus on bridging academic innovation and industrial application to deliver efficient, scalable intelligent computing solutions for the global semiconductor industry.
Our strategic aim is to establish a leading research hub driving hardware-software co-design and AI-driven chip innovation, while cultivating interdisciplinary talent to lead next-generation semiconductor R&D. We seek to build global academic-industry partnerships to translate research outcomes into practical solutions, advancing energy-efficient computing via CPU/GPU micro-architecture, FPGA, and domain-specific accelerators; innovating in LLM optimization (quantization, sparsity) and AI-assisted design automation; and pioneering 3D-IC, PIM, Chiplet, and advanced packaging technologies for high-density VLSI design.
