Regards, -Brett Inaugural IEEE CPMT - Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Society Oregon Chapter Meeting System-on-Package (SOP) Research at Georgia Tech's Packaging Center Presented by Dr. Rao Tummala, Georgia Institute of Technology Tuesday, February 26, 2002 6 PM - 8 PM Location: Oregon Graduate Institute, Wilson Clark Dining Room No Fee Free Pizza and Soft Drinks will be served Please register at www.cpd.ogi.edu/coursespecific.asp?pam=877 Lecture Sponsored by IEEE CPMT - Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Society Facility Sponsored by OGI Center for Professional Development Refreshments Sponsored by Relyent, Inc. Quick-Turn PCB Assembly Abstract: System-on-Package (SOP) is an emerging microelectronics and Microsystems paradigm that is beginning to be accepted as the solution for the systems of the next decade. The new SOP strategy being pioneered at Georgia Tech's Packaging Research Center is capable of bridging the time and technology gap by combining the best of on-chip integration with the best of packaging integration. It is expected to lead to microminiaturized and convergent microsystems with microelectronics, photonics, RF and MEMS in a single component system. In doing so, it goes beyond traditional MCM, flip chip, CSP, and microvia technologies. Bio: Professor Rao R. Tummala is an internationally recognized microelectronics packaging expert, and heads the Packaging Research Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Named by Industry Week as one of the "50 Stars in the U.S." for industry culture and U.S. competitiveness, he has received many prestigious awards including the IEEE David Sarnoff Award, the IMAPS John Wagon's Award, the Materials Engineering Achievement Award, the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Illinois and the Indian Institute of Science, the American Ceramic Society Arthur Friedberg Memorial Award and the John Jeppson Award, and the SME Total Electronic Excellence Manufacturing Award. In 1998, Dr. Tummala received Georgia Tech's Distinguished Professor Award. Dr. Tummala is a prominent leader in all major packaging related professional associations. He is a fellow of both the IEEE and the American Ceramic Society. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, past General Chair of the IEEE-ECTC, and past President of IMAPS. Currently, he is the President of the IEEE-CPMT. Dr. Tummala has published 197 technical papers and holds 67 patents and inventions. He is co-editor of four widely used Microelectronics Handbooks and is editor of the "Fundamentals of Microelectronic Systems Packaging" undergraduate textbook. Dr. Tummala received a B.S. degree in physics, mathematics and chemistry from Loyola College in India, a B.E. degree in metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, an M.S. degree in metallurgical engineering from Queen's University in Canada, and a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois. He joined the faculty of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Georgia Tech in 1993 as Petit Chair Professor in Electronics Packaging in ECE and MSE schools and as a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar. Prior to this, he was an IBM Fellow at IBM Corporation. IEEE CPMT: The IEEE CPMT Society's objectives are to provide a forum for the dissemination of technical information within areas encompassing the materials science, chemical processes, reliability technology, mathematical modeling, education and training utilized in the design and production of discretes, hybrids, and electronic packaging. Also included are fiber optics, connector technology, and semiconductor processing. Manufacturing technology includes systems, concepts, management, and quality as they relate to electronic component manufacturing and assembly. This is the inaugural meeting of the Oregon Chapter of the CPMT.

Dr. Rao Tummala, Director of Georgia Tech's Packaging Research Center, and current president of the IEEE CPMT society has graciously agreed to come to the Northwest and offer a presentation of his research in System On Package (SOP) technology. Dr. Tummala is recognized as a premier researcher in the area of electronic packaging, and this is a great opportunity to come listen to him right in our backyard. The topic and biography are covered further in the attached document, as well as information on registering for this talk. This is the inaugural meeting, and we are looking to establish a strong presence in the NW, and as I mentioned it is FREE and their is no obligation. The CPMT society covers all areas of packaging from manufacturing/testing to mechanical performance to electrical performance and is one of the IEEE's leading sponsors of conferences both domestic and international. Besides being educational, this should be a great networking opportunity as well. I look forward to seeing you there, and would greatly appreciate it if you felt free to forward this announcement to any colleagues/friends in the Portland/Vancouver area who you think might be interested.
