Announcing SEMI-THERM, the Only Semiconductor Thermal Technical Conference and Exhibition to Focus Exclusively on Making the World's Technology Cool

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 27 -- The 24th annual SEMI-THERM conference, advancing semiconductor thermal measurement, modeling and management, is rapidly approaching. This year's event will feature presentations by Cisco, HP, IBM and Intel, and a keynote by Mike Vildibill, director of Sun Microsystems' Scalable Systems Group. With more than 50 large and small companies exhibiting from around the world, SEMI-THERM will showcase the best and brightest innovations in cooling technology for semiconductor markets.

Doors open to the public March 16-20, 2008, and SEMI-THERM will offer free exhibit-only admission March 18-20. This year's conference will take place at the Fairmont Hotel located on Market Street across from Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park in San Jose, California.

Over the last 24 years, SEMI-THERM has helped address and continually solve problems associated with overheating in the most popular technologies ranging from PCs, laptops, cell phones, data centers and an infinite number of devices found in the public mainstream.

SEMI-THERM offers collaborative sessions, presentations, workshops and short courses that introduce emerging cooling technologies looking toward the future of alternative energy and conservation. Programs will dive deep, covering two-phase cooling, air cooling, die-level cooling, package-level cooling, system-level cooling, liquid cooling, data centers and test methods.

"SEMI-THERM is shaping up to be the most highly anticipated event of the year for exhibitors, featuring remarkable speakers from all parts of the industry," said George Meyer, program chair for SEMI-THERM. "This is the only forum in the world that provides the opportunity to experience never before seen technologies and solutions that will change the interface of cooling as we know it, as well as view the technologies that first guided the direction thermal measurement has etched into the space."
