>>Dear Fellow Professional:
>>
>>You are cordially invited to submit an abstract to the 15th Biennial IEEE
>>University/Government/Industry Microelectronics Symposium (UGIM'03) which
>>will be held on the campus of Boise State University in Boise, Idaho June
>>30 - July 2, 2003.
>>
>>Papers are solicited in the following areas:
>>
>>· New Initiatives in University microelectronics programs, courses,
>>laboratories, technology transfer, industry interaction
>>· Government-University collaborative education/research programs
>>· Silicon devices, processing, & simulation
>>· Packaging technologies, processes and materials
>>· MEMS
>>· Compound semiconductors
>>· Bioengineering and Biotechnology
>>· Nanotechnology and nanofabrication
>>· Sensors
>>· University microelectronics research facilities
>>
>>The 15th Biennial IEEE University/Government /Industry Microelectronics
>>Symposium (UGIM'03) will be held in Boise, Idaho June 30 - July 2, 2003
>>on the campus of Boise State University. For the past 30 years, this
>>symposium has had a unique mission to bring together
>>micro/nanofabrication researchers and educators from these three sectors,
>>not only to present new technical results, but also the programs,
>>collaborations, and laboratories that make them
>>possible. Representatives of university micro/nanofabrication labs
>>traditionally attend UGIM to exchange information. Government agencies
>>such as NSF, Sematech, SRC, DARPA, AFRL and ONR regularly participate
>>with updates on funding opportunities. Industry interactions with
>>universities (often with government support) that open up new
>>opportunities for both education and research are frequently presented
>>here. The UGIM Symposia are sponsored by the Electron Devices Society of
>>the IEEE.
>>
>>This year's host for the symposium is Boise State University. Boise State
>>University's College of Engineering came into being in 1997 as a result
>>of the school's steady growth and diversification and the region's
>>booming semiconductor industry. The College currently enrolls more than
>>1,400 students per semester with approximately 90 faculty and staff. The
>>college has quickly risen to be listed among US News & World Report's top
>>undergraduate engineering programs in the US. A rapidly growing graduate
>>program began in Fall 2000.
>>
>>The UGIM'03 technical sessions will begin on Mon. June 30 at 8:30am in
>>the Special Events Center on Boise State's campus and end at noon on Wed.
>>July 2. On Sunday afternoon June 29 at 2:00pm, BSU's Idaho
>>Microfabrication Laboratory (coen.boisestate.edu/imfl) will host an open
>>house. The open house will consist of an informal discussion session for
>>managers and researchers from various microelectronics laboratory
>>facilities, followed by tours of BSU's facilities. The discussion will
>>focus on issues common to such facilities such as funding, equipment
>>acquisition, maintenance, staff, operational expenses, processing issues,
>>industry interaction, collaborations with other universities,
>>intellectual property and compatibility problems.
>>
>>Boise is the capital and largest city in the State of Idaho, and is the
>>hub of commerce, banking and government for the state. Located along
>>the Boise River and nestled against foothills of the Rocky Mountains, our
>>city offers many outdoor activities to local residents, from skiing at
>>Bogus Basin Ski Resort to biking on the Boise River Greenbelt to boating
>>at nearby reservoirs. The Boise area has it all - desert, rivers,
>>mountains and lakes for hiking, camping, kayaking, river rafting, hunting
>>and fishing.
>>
>>Many large regional, national and international companies are
>>headquartered here, including Simplot Corporation, Boise Cascade,
>>Albertsons, Washington Group, and Micron Technology. Other high-tech
>>companies in the Boise area include Hewlett-Packard, Zilog, Jabil and
>>SCP. Micron Technology, the number two DRAM manufacture in the world, is
>>proud to the co-sponsor of this symposium.
>>
>>UGIM'03 immediately follows the annual Boise River Festival (June 27-29)
>>which is a three-day citywide celebration that reflects the joy, beauty
>>and character of its people and environment. You can start your day off
>>early with a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes in the hot air balloon
>>rally. Plan out the rest of your day to enjoy music of all genres on
>>seven different stages throughout the festival, sample traditional and
>>new cuisine from the food courts, attend a day time parade featuring
>>award-winning show floats and helium balloon characters, and the
>>sparkling night time parade where lights, sirens and glitter run rampant.
>>The weekend wraps itself up with Boise's largest fireworks display as it
>>showers a host of color, light and music over Ann Morrison Park.
>>
>>A block of rooms has been reserved at a reduced rate at the grand Grove
>>Hotel in downtown Boise, within easy walking distance of the University
>>and Boise's historic district and Basque Block This Grand Entertainment
>>Hotel offers a one-of-a-kind experience. All rooms include turn down
>>service, valet, mini bars and terrycloth robes.
>>
>>On Tuesday evening, July 1st, the symposium participants and their guests
>>will be treated to a Basque cultural program and banquet in the heart of
>>Boise's Basque district. A catered dinner with authentic Basque cuisine
>>as well as a grand performance of the Basque Oinkari dancers will be
>>enjoyed by all.
