The Ceramic Interconnect and Ceramic Microsystems Technologies (CICMT) conference brings
together a diverse set of disciplines to share experiences and promote opportunities to accelerate research, development and the application of ceramic interconnect and ceramic microsystems technologies. This international conference features ceramic technology for both microsystems and interconnect applications in a multi-track technical program. The Ceramic Interconnect track focuses on cost-effective and reliable high-performance ceramic interconnect products for extreme environments in the automotive, aerospace, lighting, solar, and communication industries. The Ceramic Microsystems track focuses on emerging applications and new products that exploit the ability of 3D ceramic structures to integrate interconnect/packaging with microfluidic, optical,micro-reactor and sensing functions. Multilayer ceramic, thin film, tape casting, thick film hybrid,direct write, and rapid prototyping technologies are common to both tracks, with emphasis on materials, processes, prototype development, advanced design, and application opportunities.
