Call for Papers

Authors from industry and academia with innovative research or developments are invited to submit Abstracts for this forthcoming major international Conference. Papers from industry are especially important. Such papers will necessarily have product content. However, commercially oriented material and descriptions are not permitted either in the paper or in the presentation or poster. Authors will also benefit from the opportunity for papers to be selected from the Conference Proceedings for publication in IEEE CPMT themed journals. Poster papers will have specific scheduled presentation slots. Proposals for short-course Master Classes are also invited.

Themed topics of ESTC 2008 include: Advanced Packaging, New Materials and Processes, Design Technology and CAE, Manufacturing Technology, Power Electronics, Green Electronics, Standards, Modelling and Simulation, Reliability and Quality, Photo-Voltaic Assemblies, MEMS and Microsystems, Optoelectronics.

Please e-mail abstracts to Chris Bailey at chris.bailey@estc.biz
