*THERMINIC Workshop *

                         Final Call for Participation

  International Workshop on Thermal investigations of ICs and Microstructures
                            September 25-26 , 1995
          Grenoble (Grand Hotel de Paris in Villard de Lans), France

The THERMINIC Workshop is the first issue of a series of events to discuss the
essential thermal questions of microelectronics and microstructures. These
questions are becoming more and more crucial with the increasing element
density of deep submicron downscaling of integrated circuits necessitating
thermal simulation, monitoring and cooling. The high element density of MCMs
and the mobile parts of microsystems raise newer and newer thermal problems to
be solved in the near future. Thermal effects on the other hand can be used as
bases of sensor or other functional structures. The Workshop intends to deal
with all aspects of thermal design, investigation and measurement of
microcircuits and microsytems.

The Workshop is co-sponsored by the BARMINT 8173 ESPRIT and the THERMINIC 00922
COPERNICUS Projects.

Vendor exhibition :

The THERMINIC Workshop invites vendors offering products in the scope of the
workshop to exhibit. Any company wishing to take part in the exhibition should
contact the general chair, preferably before the 31st of May, 1995, to be
listed in the Programme booklet.

Information for the authors :

The Program Committee invites authors to submit papers describing recent work.
Panel proposals are also invited. Papers may be extended summaries or full
papers although preference will be given to full paper submissions. In either
case, clearly describe the nature of the work, explain its significance,
highlight novel features, and describe its current status. On the title page,
please indicate : title, name and affiliations of all authors, an abstract of
50 words or less, and suggested topics. Also identify a contact author and
include a complete mailing address, phone number, fax number and E-mail
address.

Speakers are not required to prepare full length papers for the workshop.
    Submitted materials will be included in an informal Workshop Proceedings.
    Submission deadline (5 copies): 14 May 1995
    Notification of acceptance : 14 June 1995
    Submission of manuscripts for distribution at the Workshop (optional) : 4
    September 1995

Venue :

The location of the Workshop is the Grand Hotel de Paris in Villard-de-Lans.
The hotel is located in the heart of Villard-de-Lans, in a 7,5 acres park. A
tennis court and practice for golf are available in the park (18 hole golf at
Correncon en Vercors at 5 kilometers). Villard-de-Lans is located in the
Vercors, a national park and well preserved site in a varied setting, that only
a medium altitude mountain area can offer : forests, flowers, combs, caves,
gorges. Hundreds of kilometres of well-marked foot-paths for rambling, riding
or biking, a real paradise for climbers, speleologists, canyoning, not
forgetting paragliding and hot-air balloons.

Grenoble can be reached via the following links :

by car : 3 highways from north, east, west,
by train : 6 TGV connections per day - (Paris - Grenoble 2 hours 58 minutes),
by plane : via the airports of Grenoble-St Geoirs, Lyon-Satolas or
Geneve-Cointrin. There are shuttles to get to Grenoble. A special bus will take
the participants from/to Grenoble to/from Villard-de-Lans.
