As rated by the attendees, the "Best of Conference" Award was given to two presenters this year. The first was awarded to Christine Kallmayer, Fraunhofer IZM, for her presentation of "New Packaging and Interconnect Technologies for Ultra Thin Chips".
The second was awarded to Herb Neuhaus, Ph.D., TechLead Corporation, for his presentation of "Emerging Competitors in Emerging Markets: What Patent Applications Reveal".
Both papers are featured in the 2010 Pan Pacific Symposium Proceedings, available now in the SMTA Bookstore. http://www.smta.org/store/book_store.cfm
