THERMINIC Workshops are a series of events to discuss the essential thermal questions of microelectronics microstructures and electronic parts in general. 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. Thermal management is expected to become an increasingly dominating factor of a system's cost. The high element density of MCMs, the growing power dissipated in a package, etc., and the mobile parts of microsystems raise new thermal problems to be solved in the near future necessitating the regular discussion of the experts in these fields. Finally, there is an increasing need for accurate assessment of the boundary conditions used in the analysis of electronic parts, which requires a concurrent solution of the thermal behaviour of the whole system.
The main topics to be discussed during the Workshop are the following:
- Thermal and Temperature Sensors
- Measurement of Thermal Properties
- Thermal Simulation
- Acquisition and Analysis of Thermal Data
- Electro-thermal Simulation
- Temperature Mapping
- Thermal Modelling and Investigation of Packages
- Novel and Advanced Cooling Techniques
- Reliability Issues
- Thermal Performance of Interconnects
- High Temperature Electronics
- Heat Transfer Enhancement
- Heat Transfer Education
- Flow Visualisation Techniques
- Validation of Thermal Software
- Turbulence Modelling in Complex Geometrics
- Coupled (thermo-mechanical, thermo- optical, etc.) Effects
- Thermal Characterization
Previous THERMINIC Workshops have been held in Grenoble (1995), Budapest (1996), Cannes (1997 and 1998) and Rome (1999).
The programme includes invited talks, oral and poster presentations, a panel and a half-day organized by the PROFIT project on compact models. Oral contributions consist of 15 min. presentations followed by 5 min. discussion. The posters will be introduced by one slide in 3 minutes each.

How to reach Budapest ?
Budapest can be accessed by air, by rail and by car.
- Air information:
National airline: MALEV
International Airport: Budapest-Ferihegy 2
MALEV in cooperation with Delta runs a daily link to the USA.
MALEV and its partner airlines use terminal 2A while all other airlines use terminal 2B.
Airport Minibus is preferred to taxis. Single fare costs HUF 1500. Booking at Ferihegy 2 terminals is possible immediately upon arrival at the customs exit.
- Rail information: There are 3 principal railway stations in Budapest (Nyugati P.u., Keleti P.u., Deli P.u.) which are the terminating points of major international railway connections from Eastern and Western Europe. There are daily Euro City connections to Budapest.
- Road information: Budapest is the focal point of the Hungarian motorways and major roads. There is direct motorway link to Western-Europe (motorway M1). All the motorways (M1 to the West, M3 to the East, M5 to the South-east, M7 to the South-west) are free except a portion of M1 between the Austrian border and the city of György.
