    TMS 2008

    今年的TMS年会选在新奥尔良市中心地区的会展中心开。前前后后在参加了这个行业的会议有好几次了,包括TMS, ECTC等等,做我这个研究的就是那些人,所以一来二去倒也混了个脸熟。是个人都有点印象。我的两个talk都是安排在周二的下午,相隔不到半个小时,听众倒是很多,IBM的一位大人物也在下面坐着,在提问环节,还帮忙解答了问题。
     
    总的感觉是半导体行业的变化真是太快了,前两三年AMD还咄咄逼人,今年却被Intel打得很惨,全无还手之力。整个行业除了Intel非常地欣欣向荣,其他的企业都被技术升级所需的成本压得喘不过气来。Intel据说已经有能力朝30纳米进军,而其他公司却没有什么消息。另一方面,flip chip solder joint 的尺寸也朝更小迈进,IBM展示了他们的C4NP技术,使用mold做出solder BGA来,然后transfer到chip上。这个听
    起来很有道理,但是我猜想这个技术似乎还存在很多问题。
     
    另一方面,私底下的聊天得知,已经有公司可以做25微米的solder joint了。这可真是够小的了,可靠性如何,还得继续观测。

    这位打鼓的老兄一直就这种表情。 
     
    新奥尔良最出名的算是French Quarter,到了晚上华灯璀璨,人影攒动,爵士乐酒吧,钢管舞等等。但到了晚上也得小心安全,我们一起开会的6位台湾男生,居然在公用电话亭被黑人要钱,多亏一辆警车经过,适时的鸣了一下笛。
     
    教堂和马车。
     
    另一面密西西比河岸的教堂和马车,彰显18世纪遗留的气息。但是美国的教堂是在不能仔细看,细致之处乏善可陈。欧洲的教堂精细到每面墙每块石头上的每个雕塑。而这里的教堂也就是装装样子罢了。
