Mechanical Reliability of Polymeric Materials
& Plastic Packages of IC Devices
Hotel Concorde Saint-Lazare, Paris France -- November 29 - December
3, 1998
OBJECTIVE: This workshop is to address the state-of-the-art knowledge
in the field of mechanics, physics and reliability of polymers
employed in microelectronics and photonics.
SCOPE:Mechanical behavior and short / long-term performance of
polymeric materials. *Polymeric materials characterization
*Thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of
polymers, * Fracture mechanics of polymers *Moisture sensitivity
of polymers and plastic IC packages.* Polymer Aging and reliability
impact *Accelerated testing of plastic electronic packages,
*Mechanics, physics and chemistry of adhesion, adhesives and adhesively
bonded joints, *Stress concentration effects *Polymers at temperature
and environmental extremes, *Role of fillers in the mechanical
behavior of polymers *Thermal management of systems with polymers,
*Interfacial phenomena impact on reliability *Dynamic and
thermal loading of polymers
