Performance requirements for today’s semiconductor and optoelectronic devices are leading to shrinking geometries, more complex 3-dimensional structures, and new materials. High temperatures, hot spots and temperature spikes can have a major impact on reliability. It is essential that one have a thorough understanding of static and dynamic thermal performance under operating and static conditions. This has traditionally been complex, time consuming, and often lacked the resolution required to detect thermal anomalies that could lead to early device failures. Fortunately, advances in thermal imaging techniques that combine the benefits of thermoreflectance-based analysis with illumination wavelengths from near-ultraviolet to near infrared coupled with infrared thermography can support thermal, spatial, and transient resolution consistent with today’s advanced complex device structures and shrinking geometries. In addition, equipment has advanced to considerably reduce the time and cost to get accurate results. Many examples will be shared to fully illustrate the device thermal behaviors that can be detected with these advanced thermal analysis techniques.

On Thursday, January 26, 2023, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ will host a presentation on Capturing your share of $1.3 Trillion in consulting opportunities by Ron Person from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM EST on Zoom followed by a networking session. About the Topic The world is in upheaval - inflation, recession, war, global climate change, pandemics, and collapsing infrastructure. But we are entering a time of prosperity for smart, adaptive consultants. Two of the world’s largest consulting firms have just opened new divisions and are rapidly staffing to take advantage of the upturn they see ahead. What do they see coming? McKinsey & Co., Arthur Andersen, and others, while forecasting near-term slowdowns, are forecasting immense opportunities over the next five years. More than $1 Trillion dollars (with a “T”) is budgeted for infrastructure and Net Zero (Green) projects over the next five years. They also foresee massive growth in the Titanium Economy, industrial-technology-manufacturing industries. How can you as an independent consultant get a part of what has been described as “the largest capital budget programs” in world history? In this webinar, you will learn * The industries, sectors, and niches forecast to have the highest growth. * How as a solo consultant you can grab a part of large projects. * Two LinkedIn tactics that use laser-targeting to quickly fill your pipeline. (One of these tactics is scary-powerful – using it I got 5 out of 5 interviews with CEOs of mid-sized companies within two weeks.) Prior to the webinar, everyone who registers will receive a link to the webinar resources. * Lists of high-growth industry niches and locations * A PDF workbook with fill-in the blanks * Two workflow diagrams with steps to laser target clients using LinkedIn About the Speaker (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronperson/) teaches consultants how to start, grow, and scale their independent consulting business. You can learn more at (https://www.criticaltosuccess.com/). After seven years as an Air Force pilot and eight years trapped in a corporate cubicle, Ron did the only sane thing. He quit in the middle of a recession to start solo consulting. It took four years of painful lessons to discover the strategies, tactics, and systems that accelerate a solo consulting business. Over his 30+ years of consulting these guiding principles grew his solo practice to high 6-figures and even 7-figures for multiple years. Ron’s clients have ranged from mid-sized corporations to Fortune 1000 and Global 1000 clients including Microsoft, Arthur Andersen, AT&T, International Harvester, Pacific Gas & Electric, Brookings Institution, Medtronic, and many more. He has written four international best-selling books with almost three million copies sold. Ron teaches the proven strategies, tactics, and systems that accelerate independent consulting businesses (https://www.criticaltosuccess.com/). CNNNJ Invites You to Join the Network Founded in 1992, the IEEE Consultants Network of Northern NJ (CNNNJ) encourages and promotes the use of independent technical consultants by business and industry. The CNNNJ invites all engineers engaged in independent practice to join its ranks.

Virtual conferences (conferences that are completely online) and hybrid conferences (with a mixture of in-person and online attendees) have become popular since the start of the Covid pandemic. But the new conference modes are not just a pandemic stopgap - they can also be an opportunity to start new conferences at low cost or to broaden the participation of existing conferences. Each community has a different approach on the future of their conference portfolios. New conferences can start as virtual and move to other models as the community grows. To improve the experience, it is useful to add events that mimic what is missing from in-person conferences, such as mentoring sessions, online games, coffee breaks, and an opportunity to meet a community superstar.
