“Impact of Packaging on Data Centers: Green Market Outlook”

Given the ever increasing demand for IT, the increased heat dissipation for high performance chips, and high density packaging available (e.g., blade servers), the impact on residual heat in data centers (DCs) is driving the need for more efficient cooling technologies. Different types of DCs will be described with the current technologies as well as market outlook for them.

Dr. Seeger plans and develops IBM’s offerings for green data centers. David earlier led IBM’s research program on advanced electronic and optical packaging technology. Before this research, he managed for IBM many areas in process development of semiconductors including lithography, chemical mechanical polishing, electro-deposition, and reactive ion etching.

“Medtronic Tempe Campus No Re-Work Initiative”

Medtronic’s No Re-Work Initiative realized the shift in manufacturing paradigm where the foundations for first-pass design success were established. Many changes were implemented, including methods of earlier issue detection, alignment of requirements with suppliers, and enhanced testing processes. Estimated cost savings due to scrap reduction and increased productivity were substantial. The initiative also fueled improvements in first run yield and key product lines. The best practices applied to reaching this initiative will be discussed.

“Social and Environmental Responsibility Improvements in the Electronics Supply Chain”
