Performance requirements for today’s semiconductor and optoelectronic devices are leading to shrinking geometries, more complex 3-dimensional structures, and new materials. High temperatures, hot spots and temperature spikes can have a major impact on reliability. It is essential that one have a thorough understanding of static and dynamic thermal performance under operating and static conditions. This has traditionally been complex, time consuming, and often lacked the resolution required to detect thermal anomalies that could lead to early device failures. Fortunately, advances in thermal imaging techniques that combine the benefits of thermoreflectance-based analysis with illumination wavelengths from near-ultraviolet to near infrared coupled with infrared thermography can support thermal, spatial, and transient resolution consistent with today’s advanced complex device structures and shrinking geometries. In addition, equipment has advanced to considerably reduce the time and cost to get accurate results. Many examples will be shared to fully illustrate the device thermal behaviors that can be detected with these advanced thermal analysis techniques.

Free Registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/free-drinks-at-the-conference-how-to-deliver-a-compelling-technical-talk-tickets-534701465477 Synopsis: Delivering a conference talk is a killer way to increase community knowledge, get jobs, and get free drinks at the bar, but only if you don’t put your audience to sleep first! In this experiential workshop, you will learn to structure your technical content so you can engage your audience in a deeper and more persuasive way. Bring your own content to develop or make it up in class. Topics include: - 3 critical pre-presentation audience questions so your audience understands what you want them to understand - 5 failsafe techniques for audience engagement to wake ‘em up and keep ‘em focused on your message - 5 techniques for technical storytelling to get your audience talking about your message in the hall after your talk - 3 methods for better data visualization, i.e. why the heck are we seeing this? - 3 ways to add humor to your talk that won’t get you banned - 2 technical presentation-specific rehearsal methods so you look like a pro speaker at TEDtalks (if that’s your thing) - 4 mind hacks to manage pesky presentation anxiety If you have an upcoming conference talk or aspire to have one, then this workshop is for you. Speaker(s): Don Colliver, Vishnu S. Pendyala Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/347154
