Call for Paper

The 6th VLSI PACKAGING WORKSHOP of JAPAN

Nov. 12-14, 2002

Kyoto Research Park, Kyoto, Japan

Sponsored by the IEEE CPMT Society and National Institute for Standards and Technology

The VLSI Packaging Workshop of Japan held every second year since 1992 in the ancient capital of Kyoto has become a well-known international workshop of advanced packaging technologies. To monitor the latest trend and focus on the future target, the committee strongly urges you to attend this workshop and participate in the discussion. Bring your latest research results and exchange your opinion with internationally acclaimed experts from industry and academia. Beside engineers involved with packaging, wafer processing experts and circuit designers are cordially invited to bring their breakthrough ideas to solve the current problems of SiP and SoC. Emerging technologies and latest designs in the following areas are of interest to the participants.

 Advanced Fine Pitch Packaging Wafer Level Packaging
 3D Packaging & Chip-on-Chip (COC)  Manufacturing Technology
 Micro Bumping Technology Pb Free Interconnections
 Laminated Materials & Processing Materials for High Speed Application & Wafer Process
 RF Components & Modules Integrated Passives
 Packaging for Optoelectronics MEMS Packaging Technologies
 Failure Mechanisms & Reliability Improvement Cu Chip Assembly and Packaging Challenges
 Electrical Performance & Thermal Management  

The workshop will be held in English and each oral presentation will be allowed 30 minutes including 10 minutes for discussion. Authors who give outstanding papers will receive official recommendations for paper submission to IEEE Transactions on CPMT by the Japan Chapter and the Workshop Committee. This workshop will be held at a new location (new KRP facility), and the commercial booths for demonstrating products are available adjacent to the workshop hall.

Submission of abstracts:

Those who wish to contribute to the workshop should send a two page extended summary* of their paper (including figures) to the Program Chair by June 3, 2002.
