Session 5: "Thermal Management Techniques"
Controlling the temperature of today's higher power devices during
test and burn-in operations has led to thermal management provisions becoming an integral
feature in sockets. Learn about methods and techniques to control device temperature and
ways to characterize and implement them.

Session 6: "Socketing Lead-Free Packages"
The move to lead-free solder compositions is
accelerating. What is the effect of lead-free solder materials on the performance of
sockets and contacts? Will lead-free alloys drive development of new socket and contact
technologies? Hear the results of three studies that discuss these questions.

After three days loaded with information and
networking, it was now time to pack our bags and take what we've learned back to our jobs.
But first, there were a few closing remarks after some recognition to the people and papers
that have distinguished themselves in one way or another at BiTS 2003.
