       Salford University and Loughborough University are organising a
       joint seminar to industry on electronics packaging issues. The
       seminar which will be held at The Research and Graduate College,
       University of Salford, will bring together participants from
       industry and academic groups working on EPSRC funded projects in
       the area of electronics manufacture and assembly. Grant holders
       on the EPSRC's Electronic Product Design and Manufacture (EPDM)
       Initiative, and other University research groups will also be
       participating in the seminar.
    
       The primary objective of the one-day seminar is to provide an
       industrial focus for academic research in electronics manufacture
       and assembly, and to increase the level of interaction between
       industrial and academic R & D groups. The seminar will also
       provide further co-ordination of the work of the academic groups,
       and promote dissemination and exploitation of research results.
    
       The seminar will be addressed by David Topham, the Coordinator
       of EPSRC's EPDM Initiative, and a keynote presentation on
       "Environmental Challenges facing the UK Electronics Industry",
       will be given by Dr Colin Lea of The National Physical
       Laboratory, Teddington. The main technical session will consist
       of three 20-minute presentations on:  Applications of physics of
       failure to electronics interconnect reliability; Industrial
       applications of Laser Soldering; and Process modelling of Solder
       Paste Printing. This will then be followed by short presentations
       by each academic group on their research activities. Poster
       session and demonstrations will be used for further dissemination
       of results of other work.
    
       The seminar is being sponsored by the Design Manufacture and
       Marketing Research Institute of the University of Salford, and
       is supported by the CDP/EPSRC Group, the Royal Academy of
       Engineering and the SMART Group. The ITIC and the NPL Industry
       Club  members, and representatives of other Electronics
       Manufacturing Industry and Professional groups are also being

           Poughkeepsie, New York
    
    OBJECTIVE
       The intent of this short course is to introduce the attendees to an approach
       that is useful for designing high performance MCMs. At the course's
       conclusion, the student should understand the important technical issues and
       have the knowledge to conduct MCM analysis and design.  The course is
       designed for an engineer who wants to understand more about MCMs and the
       unique requirements for assuring that packages will be operational in the
       above 100MHz. region of operation.
    
    COURSE CONTENT
       This course is based upon the practical experiences of the instructors who
       have worked on many products using MCMs and it will stress the high frequency
      design requirements for modern packages. The following topics will be covered:
    
        *    The "need" for MCMs
        *    An electrical design approach
        *    Power distribution design
        *    Circuit noise tolerance
        *    Signal distribution design
        *    Switching noise
        *    Crosstalk
        *    Design aid tools
        *    Acceptable ranges for key design parameters
    
       The information presented will include the theoretical background with
       practical methods for implementing a design for MCMs.  These same techniques
       can be applied to high frequency SCM-card designs. The class will be run
       informally and interaction with the attendees is encouraged.  Questions and
       tangential discussions will be invited.

    Understanding, Performance, and Applying High-Frequency Electrical Package Measurements

    
               
    
                     UNDERSTANDING, PERFORMING, AND APPLYING
                 HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRICAL PACKAGE MEASUREMENTS
    
                           Sunday, Oct. 1, 1995

       Ed Godshalk, Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, OR
    
    OBJECTIVE
    
       In this course, we survey the problems and solutions. We review the basic
       parameters, including scattering parameters and impedances, and present a
       form readily applicable to planar transmission lines. We review both
       frequency-domain and time-domain network analyzers and calibration methods,
       and we present an example of the application of accurate measurements to the
       analysis of a multichip module. 
    
    COURSE CONTENT
    
       For digital as well as RF or microwave packages, high-speed and microwave
       electrical measurements provide a probe of electrical performance that can be
       significantly more accurate than simulation results. However, without a good
       understanding of the inherent errors and the calibration methods available to
       compensate for them, even state-of-the-art instrumentation does not ensure
       accurate measurement. The following topics will be covered:
    
        *       Network Analyzer Calibration and Measurement (Marks)
        *       Time Domain Network Analysis (Smolyansky)
        *       Package Probing Technology (Pence)
        *       Analysis of Multichip Modules by Accurate Measurement (Godshalk)
    
       This course will be useful to engineers involved in design, processing, or
       product specification who need to understand the opportunities and limitations
       of accurate electrical measurements.

          Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 10598
    
    OBJECTIVE
    
       The intent of this course is to first provide a high level introduction to
       communication systems and using this as a foundation, provide a more
       detailed focus on RF systems and packaging considerations.
    
       Packaging issues are reasonably well understood in digital applications. At RF
       frequencies, however, packaging issues become more complicated and effects
       which can be neglected in the digital domain become crucial performance
       considerations. In this course, high level radio systems and fundamental
       considerations in electrical analysis of packages are studied and the
       relationships between radio subsystems and packaging considerations are
       outlined. Theoretical analysis and simulations will be presented followed by
       practical examples and problems. Attendees will leave the course with a strong
       sense of how packaging and RF performance inter-relate, how problems can be
       detected both on the bench and with prediction tools, and methods to
       ameliorate them.
    
    COURSE CONTENT
    
       The following topics will be covered:
         *    Radio System Level Issues-
         *    Data Rate, Throughput, Modulation Schemes, Performance Metrics etc.
         *    Radio Component Block Definitions-
         *    Mixers, Modulators, Demodulators, LNAs, PAs, Filters, Synthesizers,
              etc. 
         *    Packaging Considerations-
         *    Electrical Analysis, EMI/EMC, Coupled Noise, Delta-I Noise, Modeling
              and Software Tools, Package Performance Metrics etc. 
         *    Impact of Packaging on Component and System Performance- 
         *    FCC Considerations, Radio Component Packaging, Antennas and  Package
              Effects, Packaging Effects on Radio Performance Metrics-Receiver
              Sensitivity, Throughput, Practical Problems, etc.
    
       The class will encourage discussions and experimental techniques will be
       explained.

       JOY LASKER
         Joy Laskar received the B.S. degree (Computer Engr., highest honors) from
         Clemson University in 1985.  He received the M.S. and the Ph.D. degrees in
         Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
         in 1989 and 1991 respectively.  His doctoral research was concerned with the
         experimental study and optimization of the high frequency device
         performance of compound semiconductor transistors.  In 1985 he was employed
         at IBM's Thomas J. Watson research center, where he studied hot-electron
         effects in sub-micron CMOS technology. From 1991 to 1992 he served as
         Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois.  From 1992 to
         1994 he served as Assistant Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
         Since 1995 he has been an Assitant Professor in the School of Electrical and
         Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech. Most recently, Dr. Laskar has been
         primarily concerned with wide bandwidth on-wafer characterization
         techniques up to 110 GHz with applications to monolithic microwave
         integrated circuits (MMICs) and high speed packages. Dr. Laskar has
         published over 30 peer revie wed articles in IEEE and APS journals.
