Spurred by the advent of low-cost, high-speed CMOS devices and global competitive pressures, the entire microelectronics industry for systems ranging from consumer electronics to supercomputers is witnessing many fundamental changes characterized by the increasing availability of faster, smaller and cheaper computers with a high level of built-in functionalities, migration to small systems including personal computers and portable electronics, as well as a convergence of computers, radios, phones, and video systems into one low-cost multimedia system. The increasing complexity of these ever-more-powerful information handling and processing systems is generating new materials and processing challenges in storage systems, input/out (I/O) devices and batteries, particularly those for portables, to ensure reliable high-density data storage and retrieval, no-fault data transmission/display, long use life and reliability. It is the focus of this symposium to address new interdisciplinary research activities in the area of materials and processes for peripheral microelectronic systems covering storage systems, I/O devices and batteries for use in modern microelectronics devices.
Original papers are requested dealing with, or relating to, the following subjects:
* High-density and ultra-high density (STM-like) magnetic storage
* GMR materials and optical storage
* Head-disk-interface tribology and corrosion issues
* Rechargeable thin-film lithium batteries
* Rechargeable batteries for small, portable electronic devices
* Advanced printing technologies
