Market requirements for power electronics and RF power devices are driver higher power densities and the need to operate in higher temperature environments. As a result, thermal management of devices and systems is a key design and manufacturing challenge.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together the power electronics and power RF communities to discuss trends and  directions in device and systems thermal management to encourage best practice and the development of new supply chain collaborations in R&D.

Topics within scope include:

• The integration of new high performance materials into systems for thermal management and harsh environment performance.
• Active cooling and thermal management designs and configuration in power electronics and power RF systems
• Passive cooling mechanisms and designs.
• Thermal modelling and characterisation

With the start of new vehicle powertrains such as hybrid, electric, and fuel cell vehicles, all thermal management systems, including mobile air conditioning systems, require new concepts to provide passenger compartment heating and cooling, as well as heating and cooling of batteries and cooling vehicle fuel systems.

For 2018, the Thermal Management Systems Symposium will focus on the latest and most pertinent topics in the field of thermal systems technology today. This event will serve as the meeting ground for thermal systems professionals from around the globe to discuss the latest regulatory changes and their impacts on the thermal management systems industry. This symposium represents the perfect opportunity to interact and network with other industry professionals from OEMs, academia, chemical companies, regulatory bodies, and more.

The 51st International Symposium on Microelectronics is being organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS). The IMAPS 2018 Technical Committee seeks original papers that present progress on technologies throughout the entire microelectronics/packaging supply chain. The Symposium will feature 5 technical tracks, plus our Interactive Poster Session, that span the three days of sessions on:
