Manufacturers, suppliers and academia gather to discuss semiconductor manufacturing at SEMI event

SAN JOSE, Calif.  — February 22, 2016 — The annual  SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC 2016) will be held May 16-19 in Saratoga Springs, New York. The conference will feature 35 hours of technical presentations and over 100 experts covering all aspects of advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This year’s event features a panel discussion on “Moore’s Law… Wall vs. Wallet… Where Do We Grow from Here?” and a tutorial on Nanoscale III-V CMOS by Dr. Jesús A. del Alamo, director, Microsystems Technology Laboratories, MIT.

SEMI’s ASMC continues to provide a venue for industry professionals to network, learn and share knowledge on new and best-method semiconductor manufacturing practices and concepts.  The conference is co-chaired by Dr. Jeanne Bickford of GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Dr. Janay Camp of KLA-Tencor.  ASMC 2016 offers keynotes by Christine Furstoss, VP and technical director, Manufacturing & Materials Technologies, GE Global Research on “Advanced Manufacturing…Changing Today’s Paradigm,” and Robert Maire, president, Semiconductor Advisors, on “Is China Driving the Urge to Merge?”

The topical areas that ASMC 2016 will address include:

• 3D/TSV
• Advanced Equipment and Materials Processes
• Advanced Metrology
• Advanced Patterning
• Advanced Process Control (APC)
• Contamination Free Manufacturing (CFM)
• Yield Management; Defect Inspection
• Equipment Reliability and Productivity Enhancement
• Factory Optimization

ASMC includes an interactive poster session and reception, which provides an ideal opportunity for networking between authors and conference attendees.
