IPC Extends Deadline for Submission of Technical Paper Abstracts

Reading time ( words)

IPC has extended the deadline for the submission of abstracts for technical papers to be presented at the IPC APEX EXPO 2016 technical conference.

Authors who would like to present at the conference next year should send in a 300-word abstract summarizing technical work and covering case histories, research and discoveries. It must be received by September 14, 2015. Authors of papers selected for the conference will each receive a detailed speaker manual to assist them with numerous items, including the formatting of their papers and presentation slides.

The selection process is competitive and sufficient detail needs to be included to allow the Technical Program Committee to properly assess content of the proposed paper. If abstract is selected, the paper will be due December 11, 2015 and presentation slides will be due on December 18, 2015. The paper should be non-commercial and describe significant results from experiments, emphasize new techniques, discuss trends of interest and contain technical and/or appropriate test results.

Submissions are sought on design, materials, assembly, processes and equipment in areas from adhesives and advanced technology to underfills and via plugging.

Sharon Starr, Denny Fritz, and Mike Carano talk about the global 2018 IPC Technology Trends Report released early this year—the size of the survey, how it was conducted, the general findings, and regional differences. They also shared their takeaways and regional insights, and the industry outlook over the next five to 10 years.

Multilayer organic laminates, which make up over 90% of the interconnecting substrates in electronics (standard FR-4 represents 85% of the substrates used for laminates), can develop a loss of electrical insulation resistance between two biased conductors due to conductive filament formation.

Deciding on the class of the final product will determine what files are needed for fabrication and assembly. It is critical to note that for a product to be built to any class level, it must be designed to that class level from its inception.
