IPC- Association Connecting Electronics Industries® has announced a call for papers for the IPC Annual Meeting, which takes place October 8-13, 2001, at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, FL.
Selected papers will be presented at the Advancing into Tomorrow's HDI and Advanced Packaging Today technical conference October 11-12, 2001. Papers are being sought on materials, processes, reliability/market applications, technology and field data/market drivers in all areas dealing with:
- Current carrying capacity
- Dielectrics and conductive materials
- High density flex circuits
- Ultra thin folds
- Laser material processing
- Roadblocks to microvia fabrication
- Via fill techniques
- Micro drilling technology
- Plating reliability
- Microvia inspection
- World market applications
- Electrical test for HDI
- Comparisons and trade-offs for CSP, BGA and fine pitch components
- Final finishes
- Flex circuit interposers
- Non-conductive adhesives and encapsulants
- Buried/Embedded components
- Solderability
- Flip chip, BGA and fine pitch assembly
- Yield improvement
- Market drivers for SMT and product miniaturization
- Solder fatigue modeling
- Reliability test and predictions
Paper presentations should be 30 minutes in length. Presentations will be grouped together in a forum or panel discussion. They must be non-commercial in nature, focusing on technology rather than a company's product. Papers deemed commercial will not be accepted.
Abstracts summarizing the topic must be received by June 1, 2001, and should be approximately 200-300 words long and include a biography. The paper/visual submission deadline is July 31, 2001.
