IEMT Symposium Success at Semicon West
The 29th International Electronics Manufacturing Technology
(IEMT) Symposium was
held in San Jose, CA, in July 14-16, 2004, during Semicon West
week.
Co-sponsored by IEEE, the Components, Packaging and Manufacturing
Technology
(CPMT) Society, and SEMI, the Symposium provided an important
venue for
significant work in various areas of electronics manufacturing
technologies.
Topics covered this year included: how to meet process challenges
for the 90 nm
node, latest trends in final manufacturing, latest development
in advanced
packaging, materials, design for test, and reliability.
Hosting the IEMT in conjunction with Semicon West also provided
plenty of
opportunities for networking in a large trade show environment.
Next year,
along with Semicon West, IEMT will move to the Moscone Center
in San Francisco,
CA. A Call For Papers will be issued in the near future. Keep
those papers
coming! For the Call for Papers, see www.cpmt.org/iemt/
