Note from the publisher

Throughout 2003 Microelectronics International will continue to provide a central, authoritative and Independent forum for the exchange of information pertaining to the research, development and application of technologies associated with the design, manufacture and assembly of miniaturised devices and advanced packages. Through plans to establish an Editorial Advisory Board throughout next year, the Editor and Publisher are confident that Microelectronics International will continue to deliver high quality, cutting edge papers.

If you have a paper that you would like to be considered for publication in Microelectronics International, then please contact John Atkinson at jka@soton.ac.uk John will be pleased to hear from you if you have a state of the art technical paper, a research paper, a case study or a review article that you would like publishing.

As an author, you can be sure that your work will be widely disseminated due to the international exposure to leading industrial and academic institutions via the Emerald database and distribution to the members of many European IMAPS groups who have adopted Microelectronics International as their official publication.
