iNEMI / SMTA Workshop to Focus on Future Material Challenges for Automotive Electronics
September 15, 2015 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) and Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) will host a joint workshop on automotive electronics in conjunction with SEMICON Europa 2015 in Dresden, Germany. The one-day workshop, scheduled for October 5, will focus on how new material technologies are transforming automotive electronics and how the challenges that accompany their introduction can be successfully addressed.
"Future technology trends, coupled with new electronic materials and assembly techniques, will provide unparalleled opportunities to expand the boundaries of commercial possibilities in the automotive electronics market," said Grace O'Malley, vice president of operations for iNEMI. "At the same time, however, the increased penetration of electronics into the automotive market brings with it increased challenges for electronics manufacturers. Automotive environments demand more in terms of thermal cycling, shock and vibration capabilities, plus there is the expectation of longer term reliability. This workshop will address some of these challenges and begin a dialogue for industry-wide solutions."
Topics Covered
O'Malley says the workshop will cover a range of topics that encompass the breadth of the automotive electronics supply chain, such as:
- Latest trends in automotive electronics and the need for new materials
- Solutions for reducing both cost and energy consumption during assembly of in-cabin and infotainment systems
- How to achieve high-reliability assemblies in harsh environments for under-the-hood and powertrain electronics
- Solder materials for high-reliability automotive applicationsCharacterization of new materials including thermal materials and filled materials
- Acceptability criteria for assembly processing
Speakers
Confirmed speakers include:
- Dr. Stan Rak, Head of Materials Technology, Continental AG
- Steve Brown, Director of Automotive OEM Marketing, Alpha
- Karthik Vijay, Technical Manager, Indium
- Jörg Trodler, Senior Technical Manager, Heraeus Materials Technology
- Dr. Andreas Middendorf, Business Development, Fraunhofer Institute
- Jan Pedersen, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Elmatica / Chair of IPC 6012 Automotive Addendum
Registration
Registration for the workshop also includes access to the SEMICON Europa 2015 exhibition (October 6-8). Discounted registration rates are available for iNEMI, SEMI and SMTA members. For additional information.
