PRC Base SOP Consortium Meeting

Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the Microsystems Packaging Research Center's (PRC) Base SOP Consoritum meeting to be held at the Manufacturing Research Center (MaRC) on the Georgia Tech campus, September 15th, 2008. You are invited to bring one or two additional colleagues from your company to cover your broader needs in the PRC's broad set of research programs.

Conveniently scheduled during the week, after the Monday Base SOP meeting, is the Next Generation Flip Chip (NGFC) consortium workshop. This new workshop is open to industry participants and is free of charge. The IAB meetings for Thermal Interface Materials (TIM), Embedded Actives & Passives (EMAP), and Mixed Signal Design Tools (MSDT) will also be held during the week, reserved for members only.

(Note: The 3D All Silicon System Module (3DASSM) final workshop has been postponed until October 28-29, 2008 European company schedule conflicts. The BioSOP consortium workshop will be postponed until further notice. Please check back soon.)

You can view the entire week of events on our Industry Week At-A-Glance.

To the public events, we welcome senior engineers, managers, scientists from companies involved in semiconductor, electronic systems, energy, biotech, automotive, defense and aerospace industries.

To our Base SOP Consortium members, we invite you to make the NGFC consortium workshop a part of your visit. For information on other PRC consortia development workshops, please click here.

We look forward to seeing you in September!

Rao Tummala
Director, Packaging Research Center
