Program Announcement

You are cordially invited to participate in the 2008 International ESD Workshop. It provides a unique environment for envisioning, developing, and sharing ESD design and test technology for present and future semiconductor applications. Here you will closely interact with your peers at technical sessions, moderated discussion groups, open poster sessions, seminars and special interest groups. All workshop activities take place in a relaxed and rustic setting that promotes an atmosphere of interactive learning and helpful discussions. You should come away from the workshop intellectually stimulated and refreshed!

The 2008 International ESD Workshop will focus on Novel Design Concepts, Special Design Custom Approaches, Technology Integration Issues, Failure Analysis, Test Structures, Simulation Tools, Component Level ESD Testing, ESD Characterization, System Level ESD Issues, Immunity of ICs to EMI, and Unresolved ESD Issues. Through technical presentations, seminars, un-refereed poster sessions, discussion groups and special interest groups, a unique and informal environment is provided for understanding and sharing ESD technology. The International ESD Workshop (IEW) is closely aligned with the EOS/ESD Symposium for collaborative conference activities. For this 2nd annual event, the IEW will move to Europe, in Port d'Albret, FRANCE, a resort located by the Atlantic ocean near Biarritz and 150km south of Bordeaux. The site offers the same spirit as Lake Tahoe, location of the IEW 2007 and the workshop will have a similar format.
