June 23-24, 2009
Technical University of Denmark
Lyngby, Denmark
Conference Information
This symposium will cover case histories, theories of tin whisker growth, experiments and results, risk evaluation methods, and risk mitigation strategies. Attendees will be able to learn about the current state of knowledge regarding tin whisker growth, risk, and mitigation strategies, enabling the development of improved and effective qualification and mitigation procedures.
The conference is organized by SMTA in conjunction with the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD and the Centre for Electronic Corrosion (CELCORR) and ATV-SEMAPP at the Technical University of Denmark.
Presentations will be given by:
National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Nippon Avionics Co. National Institute of Standards & Technology Ormecon/Enthone Senju Metals Yokohama National University and more...

Medical Electronics Symposium: Drivers for Technology, Health and the Economy
September 16-17, 2009
Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
Innovation and new product development continues across a range of technologies related to the use of electronics in medical applications. The economic momentum in the areas of personal health and a global healthcare industry in general continue to drive positive business trends. This symposium will bring together business and technical experts from the medical electronics industry to give attendees current perspectives on the trends as well as state-of-the-art technologies and medical applications.
For this two day symposium, which will cover a broad spectrum of medical applications, Day 1 will focus primarily on the “chip level” component packaging and testing and Day 2 will focus on board assembly and systems levels.
SESSION TOPICS INCLUDE:
Market Trends & Forecast in Medical Electronics Emerging Materials & Technologies Component Manufacturing, including Sensors (chip & packaging level, etc.) Implantable Products and Applications Materials and Design Systems Manufacturing (i.e. PWB/PCB assembly, stacked packages) Reliability/Safety/Regulatory/Testing System Level Products and Applications – external instrumentation (defibrillators, etc.)

AIMS Harsh Environment Electronics Symposium
|
|
October 5-6, 2009
Town & Country Resort & Convention Center
San Diego, CA
Symposium Overview
This symposium will address the concerns related to harsh environment electronics and the challenges within the electronics community, with an added emphasis on military and space. It is intended to bring together the needs of “end-users” with the capabilities of the research community and the industrial supply base. Specifically, the symposium addresses the challenges of meeting expanding temperature ranges (-55C to +150C/+200C) with increased vibration, higher package density and longer reliability. Next generation requirements for automotive electronics are explored from the system level and potential supply-based solutions are presented. In addition, requirements and solutions for non-automotive vehicles and industrial electronics applications will be addressed.
SYMPOSIUM SCHEDULE
Monday, October 5: 8:15a.m. – 4:15p.m.
Tuesday, October 6: 10:00a.m. – 3:00p.m.
Presentations will be given by the following companies:
Dow Corning Corporation, Jet Propulsion Laboratories, Rockwell Collins, Auburn University, Cookson Electronics, Indium Corporation, STABLCOR Inc., and more...
The full symposium schedule will be posted by the end of June.
SPECIAL EVENTS
October 5, 11:45a.m. - 1:00p.m.
Keynote Address: Managing a Perfect Storm: Pb-Free Electronics Risks
 Edward A. Morris (biography)
Director, Hardware and Manufacturing, Corporate Engineering and Technology
Lockheed Martin Corporation
The shift to lead free electronics by global electronics components suppliers has become an unintended source of risk to aerospace and defense (A&D) products, particularly those operating in harsh environments. The change to Pb-free materials was prompted by an EU Directive banning certain hazardous substances, including Pb, in commercial electronics sold in the EU. Unfortunately, the solders and finishes replacing tin-lead (SnPb) in electronics can result in solder joints that are less reliable in operating and storage environments that have extreme thermal cycles and are less tolerant of shock and vibration. Click here to view the full keynote presentation description.
Technical paper tracks
Tuesday's sessions will once again feature technical paper presentations. Papers will be written by companies such as Auburn University, Boeing Company, Indium Corporation, and more. All technical papers will be included on the symposium proceedings and the SMTA International Conference proceedings.
