/STRESS WORKSHOP 2026

STRESS WORKSHOP 2026

September 28 - October 01, 2026 | West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

19th International conference on reliability and stress-related phonomena in nanoelectronics ("STRESS WORKSHOP").

Imec will be participating in the STRESS WORKSHOP 2026. The conference will provide a focused forum for the presentation and discussion of current research on stress-induced phenomena in on-chip metal interconnects, solder joints, and related microelectronic structures.
In the spirit of previous editions, the 2026 conference will highlight new research results, encourage in-depth technical discussions, and promote advances in fundamental understanding. Join us to learn more on our latest breakthroughs and how to work with imec:
