Packaging of electronics continues on rapid paths toward smaller size and/or higher efficiency, sometimes both. Inside their enclosures, whether handheld or rackmount, mobile or stationary, indoor or outdoor, the demand continues for higher power and lower temperature. Materials used for packaging and cooling of electronics are seeing evolutionary, and sometimes revolutionary, innovations which enable continued progress. Energy conversion, transportation and lighting add their own thermal challenges to those of computing and communication. Join us to hear the experts discuss where the innovative technology is headed in this very important aspect of microelectronic packaging.
MEPTEC will again join SEMI-THERM with their "Heat Is On" Symposium to be held on Monday, March 19th titled “Revolutionary and Evolutionary Innovations in Thermal Management”.
Thanks to all Attendees, Exhibitors & Sponsors.
We hope you enjoyed the Symposium!
Interview with SEMI-THERM 28 General Chair
Click here to listen to an interview with SEMI-THERM's General Chair Herman Chu, Principal Chair at Cisco, by Graham Bell of SEMI-THERM Media Sponsor PCBCafe.com. Herman talks about the inflection point we are undergoing right now with thermal demands of electronic systems, and how the SEMI-THERM conference will address those challenges.
