Call for papers issued for IPC printed circuits EXPO 2000
Keyword: IPC
IPC is issuing a Call for Papers for IPC Printed Circuits Expo 2000. The event is being held 2-6 April 2000, at the San Diego Convention Center and is the largest exhibition in North America focused exclusively on the printed circuit industry.
The association is looking for individuals who are interested in leading a technical session, panel discussion, tutorial or workshop, or presenting a technical paper. Following is a list of suggested topics:
- •
Future of the Printed Circuit Board: Component Free PCBs; HDI Processes; Fine Line Requirements; Manufacturing Infrastructure Changes.
- •
High Density Interconnect Technology Solutions: Tomorrow's Microvias; Laser Direct Imaging; Sequential Build Up.
- •
Flex Circuits Processing: Fine-Line Flex; Roll-to-Roll Processing; Laser Processing Technologies.
- •
Flex Circuits Materials/Reliability: Covercoats, Flexural Fatigue Testing.
- •
Designing for Leading-edge Manufacturing: Design for Manufacture, Design for Microvias/ HDIS; EMI/RFI, Noise Related Issues.
- •
Dielectric Materials (HDI Alternatives to FR-4): New/Alternative Resins, Thermal Reliability; Measuring Dielectric Constant; Conductive Materials.
- •
Surface Finishes for High Tech Boards: Alternatives to HASL; Reliability Data; Deposition Processes.
- •
Electrical Testing -HDIS Final Challenge: Boundary Scan, AOI, Non-contact Tests.
Technical sessions or panel discussions must be three hours in length. They comprise four to five speakers from different companies/organizations who speak on various areas of a common theme. Individuals interested in organizing a session had to provide a proposed session scope and tentative speakers' names by 12 August 1999.
Tutorials require instructors to be on-site six hours. It is a day-long educational seminar comprising one or two speakers who give in-depth coverage of a topic. Owing to the amount of work required for preparation of the course and workbook, tutorial presenters are offered an honorarium. Workshops are half-day tutorials, and only require presenters to be on-site for three hours. Paper presentations at the technical conference must be 30 minutes in length.
Paper presenters must provide print quality material for proceedings, a 200-300-word abstract and a brief biography. Submitted papers should describe significant results from experiments, emphasise new techniques, or discuss trends of interest. The papers must also contain technical, economic, or appropriate test data.
Presentation material must be non-commercial. Any papers submitted that focus on a company's product, rather than on the technology, will not be accepted. It is also mandatory to submit a paper to IPC in order to make an oral presentation at Printed Circuits Expo 2000.
The deadline for abstract submission of presentations for workshops, tutorials or papers at the technical conference was 2 September 1999.
