Social Activities | Registration Information | Hotel |
Background: The IEEE Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology (CPMT) Society is the leading international forum for scientists and engineers engaged in the research, design and development of revolutionary advances in microsystems packaging and manufacture. This is the only IEEE conference that deals specifically with wafer level testing. The two and one half-day event starts Sunday afternoon with registration, a reception, a buffet dinner, and a panel discussion. The conference adjourns on Wednesday at noon, in time to get most participants back to work by Thursday morning. SWTW has grown to almost 500 attendees with more international visitors each year.
Presentations:
Peer-reviewed
and invited presentations in electronic format are arranged
in a number sessions, each with a common theme. There are no
formal technical papers, but black and white copies of the presentations
are handed out before the conference and the prior year's presentations
are available in the archives of our website. There are also
several panel discussions where extensive audience participation
is encouraged.
The conference has a mixture of manufacturer and vendor presentations.
It is not a sales show, nor is it an academic or theoretical
conference. It is a broad, probe technology forum where attendees
come to learn about and exchange ideas on recent developments
in the industry. Everyone is looking to obtain or supply real
solutions to present and future problems.
EXPO: Tabletop displays at SWTW provide
attendees with a one-stop opportunity to meet firsthand with all the key
suppliers and learn about their new products and services. Exhibit
viewing hours DO NOT compete with the technical program. The exhibit
area is open for three hours on Monday evening and on Tuesday afternoon.
Informal Attire and Social
Activities: It is a casual and "fun" conference.
Informal discussions are an important part of the workshop, so
the organizers spend considerable time facilitating these interactions.
There are some optional activities Sunday afternoon for early
arrivers, cocktail receptions before each dinner, and various
leisure activities to enjoy throughout throughout the workshop.
Between each session there are strictly enforced 30 minute breaks
to relax and informally discuss the presentations.
Registration and Hotel Reservations: The registration fee includes all the meals (spouse's meals can be paid for separately), an optional Sunday afternoon tutorial, all the social activities, and the conference proceedings.
On-line registration will be available in the upcoming months ... Please check back.
Hotel reservations must be made
separately. The SWTW Committee has a negotiated a special
conferences rate for attendees of the Workshop. Please mention that
your are attending the "SW Test Workshop" or "Semiconductor
Wafer Test Workshop" when you make your room
reservations.
