In the conference BEC 2000 new results in these research fields will be presented and discussed.

Papers are invited on a wide variety of topics including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Electronic Materials and Package Technologies

2. Semiconductor Devices and Simulation

3. Integrated Electronics and Chip Design

4. Instrumentation and System Design

5. Test, Diagnostics and Fault Tolerance

6. Telecommunication and Optical Transmission

7. Biomedical Electronics

8. Power Electronics

Venue

Conference site will be Tallinn Technical University, located about 8 km to the south from the Center. There is a frequent city transportation between the university campus and the City.

Historically, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is quite a unique place. It is because of its medieval old town, characterized by narrow, curved streets and tiled roofs. The first records about Tallinn date back to the beginning of this millennium. During its long and eventful history, Tallinn has been a remarkable center of craftsmen, artists and merchants in Europe, belonging to the Hanseatic League.

In Estonia, the weather is usually mild in the beginning of October, averaging 10–12 °C in the day-time.

Travelling and accommodation

Accommodation will be available at the hotels Mihkli**, Hermes, Metropol, ExpressHotel**, Central***, Viru***, or Olümpia****. For invited speakers the university guesthouse will be available by request.

Tallinn is best reached from Helsinki and Stockholm by plane or ferry. There are also many international flights from Copenhagen, Frankfurt am Main, Helsinki, London, Moscow, Riga, Stockholm, Vilnius, and other airports.

Please note that this copy is used for evaluation only, and does not exempt from the request for 3 camera-ready copies mentioned above.

Selected authors will be invited to submit updated manuscripts for the special issue of the Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, Engineering. For further information concerning the scientific program and submitted contribution, please contact prof. T. Rang.

Preparation of the Paper

All of the text should be generated using a high-density printer (preferably, a laser printer).

The length of the paper is restricted to exactly four (4) pages, including figures and references. If the presented material is shorter, the acceptable length is exactly two (2) pages in the same format.

The first page of the manuscript must contain the title of the paper, author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), all centered on the top of the page and spanning both columns. There should be one complete line space between the title, the author names, and the author affiliations. A space of two complete lines is required between the author affiliations and beginning of the main text.

A brief abstract not exceeding 15 lines should appear at the beginning of the paper, on top of the left column.

Please use Times New Roman font and single-spaced typing.
