About EMAP

The 6th Electronics Material and Packaging Conference (EMAP 2004) is an international event organized by the School of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia, and IEEE CPMT Chapter with joint technical co-sponsorship from CPMT society of IEEE.

EMAP 2004 will feature short courses, technical sessions, and exhibition. It aims to provide good coverage of developments in all areas of electronic materials and packaging, from design to manufacturing and operation. EMAP 2004 is a major forum, providing opportunities to network and meet leading experts in addition to exchange of up to date knowledge in the field. Since 1999, EMAP has gained a reputation as a premier electronic materials and packaging conference in Asia Pacific where the bulk of the packaging activities are taking place.
