THERMINIC Workshops are a series of events to discuss the essential thermal questions of microelectronic 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 systemÕs 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
- Thermal Simulation
- Electro-thermal Simulation
- Thermal Modelling and Investigation of Packages
- Reliability Issues
- High Temperature Electronics
- Heat Transfer Education
- Flow Visualisation Techniques
- Turbulence Modelling in Complex Geometrics
- Thermal Characterization
- Measurement of Thermal Properties
- Acquisition and Analysis of Thermal data
- Temperature Mapping
- Novel and Advanced Cooling Techniques
- Thermal Performance of Interconnects
- Heat Transfer Enhancement
- Validation of Thermal Software
- Coupled (Thermo-mechanical, Thermo- optical, etc.) Effects.
Previous THERMINIC Workshops have been held in Grenoble (1995), Budapest (1996), Cannes (1997 and 1998), Rome (1999) Budapest (2000) and Paris (2001).
The programme includes invited talks, embedded tutorial, oral and poster presentations, a panel and a half-day organized by the PROFIT project on reliability. Oral contributions consist of 15 min. presentations followed by 5 min. discussion. The posters will be introduced by one slide in 2 minutes each. This year, the Workshop received a total of 81 submissions.

Madrid is served:
- by the International Madrid Barajas International Airport.
- by the train: Atocha Railway Station.
- by motorway: A6 and M-30 and M-40 ring roads.
To get to the Hotel Husa Princesa
- From the airport: 14 km distance from the hotel( 20 minutes by taxi) or take the metro for getting to the city centre, although it involves a change of trains. Alternatively, you can catch an airport bus to Plaza de Colón and catch the metro from there.
- From the Atocha Railway Station: 2 km, 10 minutes distance.
- By car: exit to City Centre/Moncloa and take Princesa Street.
- By public transport: by the underground/subway: line 3, 4 and 6 direct to Arguelles station (around the corner).
- By bus: line 1, 2, 21, 44 and Circle Line across the street.

Blocks of rooms have been reserved in the Hotel Husa Princesa. As in much of Spain, spring (March-May) and October are the best times to be in Madrid. The weather is generally agreeable, the city has a fresh feel to it and it isn't too overrun with tourists but early reservation is recommended (before September 2002). Reservations will be on a first-come first-served basis (but there is no obligation to stay at the Hotel Husa Princesa). Other hotels close to the location of the Workshop include:
