1. 1 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Publications Initiative Building A 21 st Century Systems Journal Briefing For The CPMT Board of Governors February, 2001 Paul Wesling Vice President, Publications

2. 2 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Proposal: Move to the forefront of Systems Technology u “Packaging” is not recognized – Current mind-share is on “Wireless”, “System on Chip”, “Internet”, “B-to-B” – Our journals are: ¨ IEEE Trans on Components & Packaging Tech ¨ IEEE Trans on Advanced Packaging ¨ IEEE Trans on Electr Packaging Manufacturing – Us “insiders” know what this is; our broader audience is not attracted to it (Gedney)

3. 3 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Window of Opportunity u The IEEE Board has targeted 11 new areas of technology for rapid development, in order for IEEE to be competitive in the 21 st Century u Many have no CPMT “component” u But “SOC” (System on a Chip) requires CPMT’s expertise to succeed

4. 4 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Window of Opportunity u We already have TCs and Conferences addressing the infrastructure issues with SOC -- wafer-scale packaging, signal integrity, electrical performance, integrated passives, yield, reliability, modeling, thermal … u We are well positioned to take the lead

5. 5 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Window of Opportunity u Being practical engineers, we think in terms of steps along the way -- eg, System on a Package, Wafer-Scale Packaging, etc u Nevertheless, the “sizzle” today is SOC, not “Packaging” or “SOP”

6. 6 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Window of Opportunity u The IEEE Board will ask one (or two) Societies to quickly bring out a journal for “System on a Chip” –We can take the lead; or: –We can hold our ground and let other Societies re-purpose another existing journal for SOC u Seize the new field? Continue as-is?

7. 7 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Window of Opportunity u The Publications strategy: –Propose migrating our T-AP to cover SOC –This is plausible, since we now cover all the implementing technologies: photonics, electronics, yield, modeling, reliability, etc –Expect to add the CAD/cores/architecture coverage through partnership with another Society (probably CAS)

8. 8 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Motion for the CPMT BOG u “The CPMT BOG endorses renaming/repositioning the IEEE Transactions on Advanced Packaging as the IEEE Transactions on Integrated Microsystems or a similar name. The VP-Publications shall prepare the formal proposal.” We still need to check for conflicts with this or similar names

9. 9 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Mock-up of New Transactions IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INTEGRATED MICROSYSTEMS Sponsored by the -System-on-Chip, System-on-Package Components, Packaging & Manufacturing Technology Society -Microelectronics, Photonics, RF, MEMS Integration -System-Enabling Technologies - Signal Integrity and Interconnections - Advanced Packaging -(your bullet here …) MAY 2002VOLUME 24 NUMBER 2 ITEPFL(ISSN 4326-6549) Editorial..............................................................

10. 10 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Our Approach u “Integrated Systems” includes all the photonics and other packaging we do now, so these papers rightfully belong in the newly named Journal u We will expand the scope to cover architecture, with IEEE blessing u We expect conflict with EDS, SSCS, and others, but we’re “most of the way there” now - farther than they

11. 11 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Our Approach u Some topical areas will migrate to T- CPT; others to T-EPM u We will bring in recognized leaders in SOC (and other areas) for Special Sections and Regular Papers u T-AP is already classified by IEEE as a multidisciplinary journal, available across all of IEEE; no change needed

12. 12 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Our Approach u The drive for our success would come from the IEEE Board and work that Ephraim and Ralph have done to bring the SOC community to us; we continue the infrastructure focus while adding the other SOC fields

13. 13 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Our Approach u Pagecount: –800 pages in 2001 –Name change for February 2002 –1000 pages in 2002 (could be 1200 with CAS as a partner)

14. 14 CPMT Board Meeting Feb 10, 2001 Paul Wesling Motion for the CPMT BOG u “The CPMT BOG endorses renaming/repositioning the IEEE Transactions on Advanced Packaging as the IEEE Transactions on Integrated Microsystems or a similar name. The VP-Publications shall prepare the formal proposal.”
