 Aim of the Workshop
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 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
- 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), Paris (2001) and Madrid (2002).
The programme includes invited talks, a embedded tutorial, oral and poster presentations and a panel. Oral contributions consist of 15 min. presentations followed by 5 min. discussion. The posters will be introduced by one slide in 5 minutes each. This year, the Workshop received a total of 62 submissions.

Aix-en-Provence is a charming and yet lively university town; rich in historic and cultural heritage. Once the capital of the Provence Region, it possesses magnificent 17th and 18th Century architecture, ranging from town houses, churches and private hotels/museums to the typical grand ancient fountains.
The beauty of the Aix countryside dominated by Mount Sainte Victoire, has been immortalised by the famous artist Paul Cézanne and this along with the colourful markets, crowded café terraces and the typical "Provence" gourmet food and wine.
