Micro Systems : Design to Manufacturing

The IMAPS INDIA Chapter is organizing an International Conference on “Emerging Microelectronics and Interconnection Technologies, EMIT-08”- from December 16 to 18, 2008, at Bangalore, India. A pre¬conference one day Tutorial / Workshop on latest technologies such as MEMS, MEOMS, VLSI Design, Hybrid Microelectronics is planned on December 15, 2008.

The Research & Development activities in Miniaturization, Design, Production Processes, Packaging and Applications of Monolithic, Thick and Thin Film Hybrid Microelectronics, Nano Electronics and Molecular Electronics, have made tremendous progress in the past decade. The VLSI Technology has given way to ULSI, and has already reached Nano¬metric scale (nm), 65 nm levels in production and less than 45 nm levels in R & D.

IMAPS India Chapter has been successfully organizing National and International Conferences in these areas and has received very good response earlier. EMIT 1996, 1998, and 2000 at Bangalore and all National Conferences held every year at various cities in India have seen very enthusiastic participation from leading Research & Academic Institutions and Industry.

To continue this tradition and to showcase all the new developments in the areas of Micro, Nano Electronics and allied fields, IMAPS India Chapter is organizing this International Conference, with the theme of Micro Systems: Design to Manufacturing, giving an opportunity to all researchers, academia and industry leaders to exchange latest information. Prior to the conference one day Tutorial / Workshop is scheduled by experts in the appropriate areas.

These events provide an excellent opportunity to the Scientists, Engineers, Technologists, Academicians and Industrialists to present papers and discuss in the areas of Microelectronics, Nano Electronics, Molecular Electronics & Electronic Packaging. The EMIT-08 will cover the presentations of the results of Research Findings, Developmental activities, Production Planning, Manpower Training, Establishment of Facilities, as well as, exchange of ideas on the state-of-art topics.

The venue of the Conference is at within idyllic surroundings providing an excellent ambience and ensuring good exchange of ideas and innovations as it is located at the highly rated Academic Institute in India.

First “CALL FOR PAPERS”:

Authors were invited to send original, unpublished papers for the EMIT-08 until July 31, 2008. If you are still interested in submitting an abstract of 300 to 500 words on any of the topics mentioned below, email (imapsind@vsnl.com) immediately. For more information, visit www.imapsindia.org.

Invited Talks / Special Talks:

Conference will also have Invited Talks from Experts in Specific Areas of Topical Interest. Some selected papers presented at other IMAPS Conferences in 2008 will also be invited to be presented at EMIT 2008 for the larger benefit of participants who could not attend them.

Suggested Topics, but not limited to:

In the area of Design to Manufacturing the Microelectronics like: Advanced and latest Trends / Techniques in Design, Simulation, Fabrication and testing of Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits & Ultra Large Scale Integrated Circuits [for ASICs, Microprocessors, Large density memories, FPGAs etc].

Issues related to PGA, Flat packs, BGA, Flip chip, LCC, custom specific modules, 3D packaging etc., w.r.t. material processes, thermal & mechanical analyses manufacturing processes etc.

Hardware / software IP cores in sub¬micron geometry devices. MEMS as Sensors, Transducers, LEDs, RF applications, Piezoelectric Devices, Optoelectronic and SAW Devices. Application of micro, nano electronic materials and their fabrication facilities / industries in India and opportunities for Indian firms in the global markets etc. Issues covering generation of test vectors, development of test equipment hardware, R&QA and the like.

IMAPS France - 4th European ATW on Micropackaging and Thermal Management    ^ Top
The French Chapter of IMAPS will hold its 4th European Advanced Technology Workshop on Micropackaging and Thermal Management on February 4-5, 2009, at Mercure Oceanide, Vieux Port, Sud La Rochelle.

The workshop will be dedicated to the thermal management and particularly to convenient cooling solutions for high integration level of equipments. Rising speed of the components leads to increase the power dissipation while miniaturisation and low cost technologies don't facilitate the mastering of the thermal impedances.

EMPC 2009 - European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference    ^ Top
EMPC is Europe’s premier conference planned every two years in a different European country by the local IMAPS chapter, bringing together specialists from industry and academia. The European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference & Exhibition, EMPC 2009, will be held in Rimini, Italy on June 15-18, 2009. EMPC 2009 addresses “everything in electronics between the chip and the system”. The Technical Program Committee of EMPC 2009 invites you to send abstracts of original work describing recent developments in microelettronics technologies.  The Call for Papers, exhibitors details and other information are available at www.empc2009.org.
