Written by Tracy Heffner
Thursday, 04 August 2005
ATLANTA – UP Media Group Inc. (UPMG) and PCB Design Conference West are pleased to issue a "Call for Abstracts" for PCB West 2006, which will be held March 27 – 31, 2006, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. Sponsored by respected industry trade magazines Printed Circuit Design & Manufacture and Circuits Assembly, PCB West annually provides attendees and vendors with the premier conference and exhibition for the design and manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs), high density interconnect (HDI) and other advanced circuits.
PCB West 2006 marks the 15th anniversary of PCB West and the PCB Design Conferences, and UPMG is planning to celebrate this milestone with numerous special events. The conference will once again provide attendees with a Professional Development and Technical Conference program that is unparalleled in the PCB design and manufacture industry. The conference consists of a three-day Technical Conference that features lectures, workshops and seminars, plus a wide selection of targeted one-day and two-day Professional Development Certificate Program courses. In addition to an exciting show floor of top industry vendors, PCB West 2006 will feature a variety of free networking and special events that will be announced at a later date.
Papers and/or presentations are being sought for the three-day Technical Conference, based on the following course durations: 30-minute paper sessions, one-hour lectures or panel sessions, two-hour workshops, and half-day (3.5 hour) seminars. Papers and/or presentations also are sought for a Professional Development Curriculum of one-day and two-day technical tutorials. To be considered as a speaker/presenter for PCB West 2006, send an e-mail to Conference Chair Andy Shaughnessy, ashaughnessy@upmediagroup.com, by September 6, 2005. Your submission e-mail should include: a suggested course title, a suggested course length, a short description of your target audience (“who should attend”), a detailed 100- to 300-word abstract and a speaker bio. Submitted papers and/or presentations should be non-commercial in nature and should focus on technology, techniques, methodology, etc., rather than on a company’s specific products. Submissions also may be sent by mail to: PCB West 2006 Call for Abstracts, Attn. Andy Shaughnessy, UP Media Group, 2018 Powers Ferry Rd., Suite 600, Atlanta, GA, 30339.
If selected for PCB West 2006, final papers and/or presentations will be due in early December 2005. Submissions selected for the three-day Technical Conference are published on the Proceedings CD-ROM, which is distributed to all conference attendees, exhibitors and presenters/speakers. Submissions selected for the Professional Development Certificate Program are not included on the Proceedings CD-ROM. Each speaker/presenter will receive a copy of the Technical Conference Proceedings CD-ROM, a free pass for the three-day Technical Conference, and free admission to the two-day Exhibition, Keynote Address and other special events.
Papers and presentations are sought for, but not limited to, the following topics: - High speed, high frequency and signal integrity - Component placement - EMI/EMC analysis - Thermal analysis - Lead-free processes (especially how they affect design and fabrication) - RF and microwave design - Packaging design - Mixed-signal design - Area arrays - FPGA design and implementation - Embedded passives and active devices - Flexible circuitry - HDI design and technologies - PCB design/layout basics - Component library creation and management - Design for manufacture, test and assembly - Design (including analog, digital and power supplies) - PCB fabrication - Soldering - Surface finishes - Industry forecasts - Business and design/supply chain issues

CSP/BallNest Socket Provides Consistant Test and Burn-In
Aries Electronics introduces the CSP/BallNest Hybrid Socket for test or burn-in of chip scale package, ball grid array, microBGA, land grid array and prototyping. It can be used on any device having a pitch of 0.30 mm or larger. Features include a lid that nests each ball termination into the socket for a reliable connection and a four-point crown providing scrub on solder oxides. It has a signal path of 0.0777 inches and provides minimal signal loss for higher bandwidth capability. Estimated contact life is 500,000 cycles, and the socket is available in custom materials, sizes, configurations and platings. www.arieselec.com
