SEMICON West 2015 on July 13-16 in San Francisco will feature partner events focusing on new technologies, device architecture, materials, and markets. Organized by SEMI, this year marks the 45th anniversary of SEMICON West. Gartner, IEEE, SRC, SEMATECH, FlexTech Alliance, MIG, Screen, and Entegris are several of the featured content partners.
On July 13 preceding the SEMICON West exhibition opening, Gartner will cosponsor a Market Symposium with SEMI, providing a mid-year market update as well as a forum to discuss critical, breaking business issues. The agenda for this symposium includes a keynote from Ian Ferguson, vice president of Segment Marketing at ARM.
IEEE Electron Devices Society and Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) are partnering with SEMI for the “The Path to Future Interconnects” Semiconductor Technology Symposium (STS) session on July 16. Session presenters will drill into the nature of the biggest challenges in materials and processing of current and future interconnects, and their impact on circuit and system requirements. Experts from Applied Materials, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, imec, Lam Research, and SRC—plus Columbia University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of California Berkeley—will present.
Session topics in the Interconnect program include
- Interconnect Performance and Yield Challenges for 7 nm and Beyond,
- Interconnects for Flexible/Stretchable Circuits, and
- Lessons from Brain Connectivity for Future Interconnect Circuits
