Go from zero to SiP fast. With Cadence.
Circuit Simulation-Driven Analog/RF System-in-Package Webinar Series
| ||||||||||||||
Overview
Today's wireless devices manufactures are constantly challenged to pack more functionality into less space in ever-shrinking market windows. To address this demand, analog/RF system-in-package (SiP) modules are becoming one of the fastest growing integration fabrics in the wireless silicon market. However, when designing these complex RF SiP modules, designers are facing challenges that conventional methodologies and technologies just cannot overcome.
In this webinar series, Cadence will take you through these common challenges — presenting a new methodology and integrated technologies that address your key pain points. The webinars will include detailed demonstrations using the latest Cadence SiP RF methodology and technologies that seamlessly integrate with the Cadence® Virtuoso® custom design platform. By attending these webinars, you will learn how driving an RF SiP module implementation from a single top-level schematic (that includes RF/analog die, embedded RF discretes, post-layout parasitic extraction, constraint-driven interconnect, and full SiP tapeout manufacturing preparation) enables full pre- and post-route circuit simulation of the entire SiP.

Customer Experiences:
"After being on the training course and using the evaluation version
of Minitab I finally managed to persuade my boss to order version 15
and have had great success with it. As a supplier to the automotive
industry we need to be able to prove the reliability and integrity of
our systems and processes and Minitab's suite of functions has been
perfect for the job so far. I've also been in touch with Minitab's
technical support and have been very impressed with their prompt
responses."

European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2007
European Microwave Week provides the opportunity to attend four conferences and various workshops and short courses given by leading experts in their field. Moreover, the European Microwave Exhibition constitutes the largest trade show on RF and microwaves in Europe.
Following the pattern established in Paris in 2005, European Microwave Week now consists of four conferences:
The event focuses on the needs of engineers and researchers and seeks to serve both academia and industry. The week provides an opportunity for both communities to consider the latest trends and developments that are widening the field of application of microwaves.
European Microwave Week 2007 continues the series of successful microwave events and is set to return to Munich, Germany. By the, way, I cannot stand but recommending you to take this opportunity, and have a try with the Oktoberfest... It is actually worth it!
2008 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium
For over 40 years, IRPS has been the premiere conference for engineers and scientists to present new and original work in the area of microelectronic device reliability. Originally started in the early 1960’s by the military and aerospace community, IRPS is now co-sponsored by the IEEE Reliability Society and the IEEE Electron Devices Society. This co-sponsored event has drawn participants from the United States, Europe, Asia and all other parts of the world. IRPS 2008 promotes the reliability and performance of integrated circuits and microelectronic assemblies through an improved understanding of failure mechanisms in the user’s environment, while demonstrating the latest state-of-the-art developments in electronic reliability.
The focus of the symposium is the 3-day plenary/parallel sessions featuring original work that identifies new microelectronic failure or degradation mechanisms, improves understanding of known failure mechanisms, demonstrates new or innovative analytical techniques, or demonstrates ways to build-in reliability. Specific areas to be addressed during the 2008 IRPS are reliability concerns associated with silicon (integrated circuits, discrete devices, MEMS), non-silicon (GaAs, LEDs and diode lasers, optical fiber and flat panel displays), and emerging technologies including organic electronics and nanotechnology:

Other opportunities at the symposium include:
- A 2-day Tutorial Program featuring a set of bound notes from all tutorials. Attendees have the opportunity to learn a new area in some technical depth from an industry expert or brush up on the fundamentals with introductory tutorials. There are typically about 20 tutorials that are offered on topics ranging from back-end reliability to gate dielectric and transistor reliability to circuit/product reliability to assembly/ packaging reliability.
- Reliability Year-In-Review Seminar. This seminar provides a summary of important work published from the previous year in key reliability areas. Industry experts serve as the “tour guide” and save you time by collecting and summarizing this information to bring you up to date in a particular area as efficiently as possible.
- Evening Session Workshops enhance the synergy of the symposium by affording the attendees an opportunity to meet in informal groups to discuss key reliability physics topics with the guidance of experienced moderators. Some of the workshop topics are directly coupled to the tutorial program to allow more discussion on a particular topic.
- Equipment Demonstrations held in parallel with tutorials and technical sessions are a unique aspect of this symposium. Manufacturers of state-of-the-art analytical and test and stress equipment are on hand to demonstrate their products and systems to individuals and small groups. Attendees are encouraged to bring samples or questions for onsite analysis and discussion.
- An Evening Poster Session has become an important part of the IRPS for authors and attendees to discuss recent research and results in a very interactive environment.
There are lots of opportunities to be involved in increasing your understanding of this technically important field. We look forward to seeing you in Phoenix!
