For Immediate Release
IITC conference returns to the greater Silicon Valley area for 2010. . .
2010 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference
Calls for Papers That Describe Innovative Work On
Interconnects For Devices, Boards & Systems
BURLINGAME, CA (December 1, 2009) -- The 13th annual IEEE International
Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) and exhibition has announced a Call for
Papers for work describing innovative developments in the critically important field of
interconnections for electronic systems. The conference seeks papers on all aspects of
interconnects for device, circuit board and system-level applications. The deadline for
submission of paper abstracts is Feb. 1, 2010.
IITC 2010 will be held June 7-9 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel in
Burlingame. It will be preceded by a day-long Short Course on leading-edge
interconnect technologies on Sunday, June 6. The conference attracts professionals in
semiconductor processing, interconnect design, academia and equipment development.
The traditional U.S. venue is now one of three international locations for this important
technology conference, which rotates among them annually. In 2009, IITC was held in
Sapporo, Japan, while the 2011 edition will take place in Europe.
“Interconnections have become tremendously important in recent years because of their
potential to become bottlenecks to higher performance, and because they are key to
achieving some of the most exciting ideas in electronics, such as 3D systems. This year
new, relevant focus areas have been added, including the relationship of device
interconnects with system-level interconnections and interfaces,” said Michael Armacost,
IITC 2010 Publicity Chair and Managing Director at Applied Materials, Inc. “The IITC
conference is a premier global forum for specialists and suppliers to come together to
discuss, demonstrate and exhibit advanced interconnect techniques, materials,
architectures and processes that shed light on the best ways forward.”
IITC 2010 is seeking papers in the areas of process integration (for logic and/or memory);
reliability; advanced interconnects and systems interconnections; through-silicon vias and
3D integration; packaging; novel materials and concepts; process modeling, and all backend materials and unit processes associated with interconnect technology, including indepth explorations of related manufacturing issues.

Papers from universities, national laboratories, semiconductor manufacturers, foundries,
and equipment/materials suppliers are encouraged. Following a rigorous review, papers
will be selected for either oral presentations or poster presentations during the exhibition
hours. In addition, papers will be selected for a special poster session for new engineers
and students.
The IITC 2010 Call for Papers and paper-submission requirements can be found on the
conference website, http://www.ieee.org/conference/iitc. For additional information and
inquiries, interested persons may contact Wendy Walker at Widerkehr & Associates,
