MEMS Sessions at the Electronic Materials Conference of the TMC

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to call your attention to an opportunity to present your recent
research results to your peers and hear about recent advances in materials and
processing in micromachining. The Electronic Materials Conference (EMC) of the
TMC (The Metals, Minerals, and Materials Society) is sponsoring special
sessions in this area at its 1995 meeting at the University of Virginia, June
26-28. We would like to encourage your to submit an abstract for this meeting.

The EMC sponsors an annual meeting in conjunction with the Device Research
Conference (DRC). The DRC meets Monday through Wednesday and the EMC meets at
the same site Wednesday through Friday. Registration at either conference
permits attendance at sessions of both on Wednesday. These two conferences are
quite complementary, since the focus of the EMC meeting is on materials of
interest for forefront device research and development. Attendance at these
highly successful meetings typically ranges from 500-600 scientists and
engineers.

This year the EMC will begin holding a session in the topical area of
"Materials Issues in Microelectromechanics," including materials and processes
for micromachining as well as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Please send your abstract, limited to one 8.5"x11" page with typing area of
    6.5"x9", to the Program Chairman:
    Tim Sands
    Department of Materials Science and Minerals Engineering
    559 Evans Hall
    University of California, Berkeley 94720-1760
    Tel: 510-642-2347
    Fax: 510-643-5792
    email: sands@uclink.berkeley.edu

The abstract deadline is February 15, 1995.

In addition to the talks on materials issues in microelectromechanics, there
are more than 20 different topical area symposia covered at the meeting. This
will be an excellent conference, and we strongly encourage your participation.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the organizers listed below.

Sincerely,
