The Annual Pan Pacific Microelectronics Symposium & Exhibit that took place February 10-12, 2009, at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel, on the Big Island of Hawaii was well received by attendees from North America, Asia, and Europe. Speakers at the Pan Pacific Symposium promoted international technical exchange and joined in a diverse forum for extensive networking among microelectronics professionals from around the world.
As rated by the attendees, the Best of Conference Award was presented to Marie Cole, IBM Corporation for the paper entitled “Lead-Free Assembly of Server Class PCBAs: Qualification Trial Results”. Authors were Matthew Kelly, Marie Cole, Jim Wilcox, and David Braun of IBM Corporation. The paper covered the reliability testing results of a lead-free assembly qualification trial on a mid-range complexity, high reliability PCBA sourced with three different PCB surface finishes.
The paper is currently featured in the 2009 Pan Pacific Symposium Proceedings available in the SMTA Bookstore at http://www.smta.org/store/book_store.cfm.

Fortunately even the most conservative most prognosticators now see at least a subdued “recovery” in 2010.
