October 7, 2015 | SMTAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The SMTA Silicon Valley Chapter's October Chapter Meeting will focus on LEDs, and will feature presentations by Denis C. Barbini, PhD, of Universal Instruments' Advanced Process Laboratory; Amit D. Patel, from Alpha - Energy Technologies; and Tom Moore of Henkel Electronics Materials.
Dr. Barbini will talk about developing a manufacturing process for LED electronics, and will identify key elements in design and manufacturing of LEDs that yield a robust assembly process. In addition, several case studies will be highlighted, providing the attendee with an understanding of how to deal with the dynamic range of LED technology.
In his presentation, Patel will talk about enabling the use of PET flexible substrates for LED lighting applications. Moore, on the other hand, will focus on the importance of thermal management for LED designs, and will discuss both the TIM (Thermal Interface Materials) as well as MCPCB (Metal Clad Printed Circuit Board) for dissipating heat.
The October Chapter Meeting will be held on October 22 at Bestronics (2090 Fortune Drive, San Jose, California 95131), from 3pm to 6pm.
