[SI-LIST] Call for Participation Issued for 2004 IPC Printed Circuits Expo/APEX Joint Technical Conference

Call for Participation Issued for 2004 IPC Printed Circuits Expo/APEX Joint
Technical Conference
-- 5/22/2003

IPC-Association Connecting Electronics Industries announces a call for
participation in its IPC SMEMA Council's APEX and IPC Printed Circuits Expo®
combined technical conference and professional development program, which
take place February 23-27, 2004, at the Anaheim Convention Center in
Anaheim, Calif.

Recently, IPC released its plan to co-locate the two exhibitions in 2004 in
order to tighten the links of the supply chain. Through the restructured
event, IPC will be able to better serve both the printed circuit board (PCB)
and electronics manufacturing industries.

To participate in the industry's premier conference on electronics
manufacturing, a 300-word abstract that summarizes original and previously
unpublished work and covers case histories, research and discoveries must be
received by June 20, 2003. The selection process is competitive and
sufficient detail needs to be included to allow the Technical Program
Committee to assess content of the proposed paper.

Selected papers will be presented at the technical conference and published
on a Proceedings CD, which is distributed to more than 1,500 companies and
individuals. Presenters will be entitled to a copy of the Proceedings, a
free one-day conference pass on the day of the presentation, discounted
registration fees for the full conference and complimentary admission to the
Exhibit Hall, including the show floor reception.

Papers are being sought on design, materials, assembly, processes and
equipment in the following areas:

· Design
· PCB Fabrication
· Soldering (including lead free)
· Electromigration and Tin Whiskers
· Flexible Circuitry
· Packaging & Components
· Area Array-Flip Chip-0201
· Embedded Passive and Active Devices
· Via Plugging and other protection
· HDI Technologies
· Surface Finishes
· Black Pad
· Factory Automation
· Environmental Concerns
· Electronic Manufacturing Services
· Business and Supply Chain Issues
· Test, Inspection and AOI
· Performance, Quality and Reliability
· Optoelectronics
· High Speed, High Frequency and Signal Integrity

If an abstract is selected, technical papers will be due on December 5,
2003. Each paper should be a minimum of six pages in length, describe
significant results from experiments, emphasize new techniques, discuss
trends of interest and contain technical and/or appropriate test results. In
addition, 30-minute presentations should be non-commercial in nature and
focus on technology rather than a company's product. Papers deemed
commercial by the Technical Program Committee are not acceptable.

IPC is also seeking proposals from individuals interested in teaching full-
or half-day professional development courses on design, PCB and electronic
manufacturing processes and materials to a class of up to 50 persons. Such
proposals and course descriptions should be received by June 20, 2003, and a
master copy of the course workbook must be submitted by November 21, 2003.
An honorarium will be offered to all professional development instructors.
