EMS Packaging symposium titled “MEMS Packaging Trends: From Production to Market – Large Volume Drivers for MEMS Technologies” to be held on May 17 & 18, 2006 at the Hyatt San Jose (San Jose, Calif.).
 
The two-day event will begin with a keynote presentation by Dr. Albert Pisano of the University of California at Berkeley.  His keynote presentation will include a project overview and recent research results for the fuel flexible micro Wankel power system project at the Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center.

Building on the success of their prior MEMS symposiums over the past three years and continuing with its proven symposium format, MEPTEC will bring together another group of technical speakers who are considered experts in the MEMS field.

The second day of the two-day conference will include a half-day Academic Workshop where members of the academic community will present ongoing work in various stages of completion in MEMS related areas and a half-day MEMS Standards Packaging Workshop in conjunction with SEMI.  This workshop will offer attendees the opportunity to be involved in the development of a proposed set of MEMS packaging standards.
