The 2026 International Compact Modeling Conference (ICMC), co-sponsored by IEEE EDS, will be held in Long Beach CA on July 30-21, 2026. The conference has recently issued a call for papers that will build upon the great success of the inaugural 2025 ICMC conference held in San Fracisco.
Highlighted Themes:
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) modeling for protection design
- Reliability and aging-aware compact models and simulation techniques
- AI or Machine Learning for model development, parameter extraction, circuit simulation efficiency, etc.
General Topics:
- Application of Device Models
- Decide Model Development
- Model Enhancements and Implementations
- Emerging Devices

Background
The Compact Model Coalition (CMC) brings academia and industry partners together in the development and standardization of compact models for semiconductor devices. For more than 30 years, the CMC has been instrumental in creating standardized and verified models for designers to use in their increasingly complex circuits for SPICE simulation. The CMC is organizing the second edition of the International Compact Modeling Conference, cosponsored by IEEE EDS. It will focus uniquely on compact device models, their development, and broad application in the semiconductor industry. You are invited to participate in the evolution of these models, guiding model development to help circuit designers achieve the best circuit performance possible, and enabling foundries to leverage the strength of their device fabrication to the full extent. Join world experts in design, process technology, and model development for a two-day in-person event to discuss state-of-the-art semiconductor device modeling, offering a rare opportunity to present and learn about this core element of circuit design and how to get the most from these global collaborations
