About the Symposium:
The 13th meeting of the Symposium will be held on the grounds of the Winterthur Museum and Gardens in Winterthur, Delaware, USA on May 7-9, 2008.
The Symposium on Polymers has been held every 2 years since it was first established in 1988. The Charter has remained the same: To provide an intimate forum for the exchange of technical information and innovations for the use of thin-film polymeric materials in contemporary microelectronic and new application areas, with a strong emphasis on processing. Planned topic areas include: Microelectronic Packaging Technology & Materials, Semiconductor Polymer Applications, Polymer Characterization, Optical Interconnects, Flat Panel Displays, Sensors, Emerging Technologies and New Polyimide Materials.
The Symposium On Polymers for Microelectronics is one of the foremost comprehensive technical meetings for the integration and processing of polyimides and new polymeric films for advanced microelectronic applications. This meeting is sponsored by HD MicroSystems and The Electrochemical Society.
The Symposium on Polymers is held on the grounds of the Winterthur Museum and Gardens in the outlying countryside of Wilmington, Delaware. This picturesque setting of rolling hills and forests provides a relaxed, intimate setting for the meeting. The main symposium session is held in the Copeland Lecture Hall and utilizes a workshop-like format with formal presentations. As with prior meetings, ample time will be allotted during breaks and lunch for informal discussions. The symposium includes a poster session, exhibits, and a formal dinner for all symposium participants.
We look forward to seeing you next time here at Winterthur. Sincerely,
The Program Board

Location:
The Winterthur Museum and Gardens are located in the rolling country side of northwestern Delaware, a geographic area known for its steeplechase races and fox hunts. The Winterthur mansion was one of the largest private residences in the United States and now houses and exhibits one of the finest collections of American antiques in the world. The Symposium will be held in the Copeland Lecture Hall next door. Participants of prior meetings have frequently remarked that the location was the best of its kind for a meeting of this caliber. In addition to having fine meeting facilities, this complex with its many gardens and wooded paths provides an ideal setting for informal conversations and relaxed technical discussions.
