THERMINIC 1996

September 25-27,
Budapest
Hungary

2nd International Workshop on

THERMAL INVESTIGATIONS of ICs and MICROSTRUCTURES

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, Test Technology Technical Committee and The Hungarian National Committee for Technical Development (OMFB) in cooperation with the THERMINIC CP940922 Copernicus and the BARMINT 8173 ESPRIT Projects and with the European Test Technology Technical Committee.

AIM OF THE WORKSHOP

The first THERMINIC Workshop was held in Grenoble in 1995, it gathered together about 90 attendees from Europe, the USA and Japan. The second THERMINIC Workshop will be held in Budapest, September 25-27, 1996. THERMINIC Workshops are a series of events to discuss the essential thermal questions of microelectronics and microstructures. These questions are becoming more and more crucial with the increasing element density of deep submicron downscaling of integrated circuits necessitating thermal simulation, monitoring and cooling.
The high element density of MCMs and the mobile parts of microsystems raise newer and newer thermal problems to be solved in the near future. Thermal effects on the other hand can be used as bases of sensors or other functional structures.

The main topics to be discussed during the Workshop are the following

The Programme Committee received over 60 submissions this year, much more than in 1995. 34 contributions have been accepted for oral presentation and 15 for poster presentation. Oral contributions consist of 15 min. presentations followed by 5 min. discussion. The posters will be introduced by one slide in 2 minutes each.
