iWipp logos

P SMA is pleased to announce that it is co-sponsorship of IWIPP 2017 (INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INTEGRATED POWER PACKAGING) along with IEEE PELS, ECPE, CMPT & DEIS. The workshop will be held on April 5-7, 2017 at Delft Technical University, in the Netherlands.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers in the field of power electronics components, electrical insulating materials, and packaging technologies to rapidly promote the development and commercialization of high-density and high-efficiency power converters. Technical Papers ranging from core material technologies to power converters are sought that address important challenges and present solutions to increase reliability and manufacturability of power electronic components and systems while targeting increased performance and reduced system cost. This workshop is an opportunity to engage in a meaningful discussion about the latest technologies and techniques ongoing in both industry and academia, ensuring that a cooperative learning environment is fostered for all.

The conference has moved from the US to Europe for 2017 with more supporting organization sponsors (such as PSMA) engaged to broaden the available audience and overall breadth of the discussion. The co-sponsors have collaborated to form a technical and steering committee for the event and are encouraging their members and affiliates to participate.

PSMA will be heavily involved with the packaging portion of the workshop, where there are clear synergies and common areas of interest. We encourage our members to consider challenges from materials and devices through systems (thermal mechanical, interconnect, reliability, manufacturability…etc.) and welcome engagement across all disciplines. Industry partnership and exhibit space are also available to spur a unique blend of academia, research, and industry collaboration throughout the event.

Key dates for the workshop are as follows:

Abstract Submission: December 2, 2016
Notice of Acceptance: December 16, 2016
Final Paper Submission: February 3, 2017
