Call for Papers: International Conference on Soldering and Reliability  May 20-22, 2009
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The drive for smaller, more functional consumer electronics along with the need for highly reliable electronics for industrial, bio-medical, aerospace and automotive applications have kept the material, process and quality engineers busy planning for the future. The European Union’s directive on lead-free electronics which became a reality on July 1, 2006 complicates that with the variety of alloy choices, component compatibility and mixed-solder concerns. Soldering and reliability engineers and designers need to come together to share their knowledge and their vision for addressing these challenges.
Following on the very successful 2005 and 2006 International Conferences on Lead-free Soldering, and the SMTA International Conference on Soldering and Reliability held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2007 and 2008, this conference will bring together the community of soldering and reliability experts. Show off the expertise of your company by presenting a paper.
Suggested topics to be covered include:
| SnPb with lead-free components Reliability Harsh Environment Tin Whiskers New Alloys Electromigration Thermal dissipation
|
Manufacturing Process Package on Package Advanced Packaging Halogen-Free Laminates High Density Interconnects Thermal Interface Materials Underfill | THE DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS IS JANUARY 16, 2009.
If you would like to present at this conference, please submit a 200-300 word abstract to Melissa Serres Marx at melissa@smta.org. Include a title, author name and contact information with your abstract. Authors will be notified of acceptance by February, 2009. Technical papers are required and will be due on April 7, 2009.
The conference is sponsored by the SMTA Toronto Chapter.

AIMS Harsh Environment Electronics Symposium
(covering Automotive, Industrial, Military & Space)
The SMTA and Auburn University are pleased to announce that the AIMS (Automotive, Industrial, Military and Space) Harsh Environment Electronics Symposium will be held October 5-6, 2009. Dr. John Evans, Conference Chairman and the program technical committee invite you to submit an abstract to participate in this exciting program. The symposium will once again focus on harsh environments with an emphasis on military and space. We are soliciting abstracts that will provide NEW and TIMELY INFORMATION to attendees on the LATEST DEVELOPMENTS in these areas. The symposium format will allow a significant amount of time for interaction and questions.
