| The 2nd THERMINIC Workshop | ||

The Second Therminic Workshop met in Budapest from September 25 to 27. This workshop gathered 73 attendees from around the world. The workshop was organized by TIMA Laboratory and the TU Budapest, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, Test Technology Technical Committee, the Hungarian National Committe for Technical Development (OMFB) and the US Navy Office of Naval Research Europe (ONREUR) in cooperation with the THERMINIC CP940922 Copernicus and the BARMINT 8173 ESPRIT Projects and with the European Test Technology Technical Committee.
SUMMARY:
|
|
|
Alfonso Ortega from the University of Arizona gave an invited talk on conjugate heat transfer, and Reinhold Vahrmann from TEMIC, also invited, talked about the results obtained on thermal effects in the framework of Europe's JESSI Analog Expert Design System.A panel also met to discuss industrial needs, a counterpart to the panel on education held in the first workshop's 1995 meeting in Grenoble. These thermal issues are important to the testing community in a broad sense (production testing, on-line testing, design for thermal testability, and so on). A TAC (technical action committee) on thermal testing has been created. A small vendors' exhibition and presentation has also been organized. The participants were Semilab Rt., Hungary (thermal transient testing unit), Technical University of Budapest, Hungary (SISSI electro-thermal simulation package), Flomerics Ltd., UK (Flotherm CFD program) and Temptronics Inc., USA (liquid cristal based thermal imaging). The workshop featured seven sessions dealing with temperature sensors , thermal simulation, electrothermal simulation, thermal characterization of packages, thermal transient measurements, thermal mapping, thermal sensors & actuators.

| Contributions to the technical programme | ||
| The
informal proceedings (collection of papers) of the 2nd Therminic Workshop
extends to 285 pages. The volume contains the full text of 31 contributed
papers presented in 15 minutes at the 7 sessions of the workshop and it
also contains the text version of 12 contribuitions that have been presented
on posters. Furthermore, each poster has also been presented with a short
(3 minutes) oral introduction. There were 6 papers which were not available
in full text at the time of printing the informal proceedings. Altogether
134 authors from Europe, the USA and other countries including India,
Australia and Taiwan have taken the effort to contribute to the technical
programme of the workshop. About 2/3 of the contributions came from universities
and research laboratories and about 1/3 of the papers came from the industry.
The workshop programme reflected well the work carried out in the framework
of the two related European research projects THERMINIC and BARMINT and
a few papers reported results from the DELPHI project as well. The different
sessions, thus the different chapters of the informal proceedings covered
the most important fields of thermal problems related to ICs and microstructures.
This year a separate session was devoted to electro-thermal simulation
which indicates the emerging importance of this topic. |

There were 73 participants at the 2nd Therminic Workshop, from 18 different countries. The majority of the participants came from Europe, especially from France (16), from Hungary (14), from Poland (9) and from Germany (6). There were 4 attendees from the USA, and we had guests from Singapore and India as well. Most of the attendees (47) came from the academia (universities and different research laboratories), while about 1/3 of the participants (22) were from the industry. Governmental bodies of different countries were represented by 4 attendees. There were 40 people from EU member states, 26 from Central and Eastern Europe. We had 4 US guests and 3 participants from other countries. The distribution of the workshop attendees is ilustrated by the bar diagrams below. Distribution by countries:

| The
informal proceedings of the workshop is formed by the Collection of papers
presented at the 2nd Therminic Workshop, which was distributed among the
workshop participants. Limited number of copies is available for FF200
from TIMA. As follow
up to the Workshop special issue of the Microelectronics Journal (Vol.
29, No.4-5, 1998)
and a special section in the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems
(Vol. 5, No. 3, 1997) were prepared based on contributions presented at
the 2nd Workshop. These
issues form the formal proceedings of the workshop.
