SEMICON West “Call for Papers” for new semiconductor technology symposium

SAN JOSE, USA: SEMI announced a "Call for Papers" for the new Semiconductor Technology Symposium, the popular TechXPOT programs, and a new Science Park program featuring university research and advanced R&D subjects at SEMICON West, North America's premier microelectronics event, to be held July 8-10 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif. Presentation abstracts are due March 17, 2014.

SEMICON West 2014 will be attended by nearly 30,000 semiconductor and related microelectronics industry professionals and feature more than 60 hours of technical sessions, led by the most informed and influential experts in the world. The "standing-room only" success of the SEMICON West TechXPOT programs has prompted the creation of the new Semiconductor Technology Symposium (STS).

Beginning in 2014, popular programs on leading-edge chip manufacturing will be held in a classroom setting with reserved seating adjacent to the show floor in the North Hall of Moscone Center. STS will offer technology trends, developments and new technology information in the areas of advanced materials and processing, lithography, metrology, 450mm, advanced packaging, 3D-IC.

Test Vision 2020, the leading semiconductor test conference focusing on ATE and high-volume manufacturing, will join the STS in the Moscone Center location.

TechXPOT programs in the Moscone Center North and South Halls will continue focusing on special topics in semiconductor manufacturing, and adjacent and related microelectronics technologies. An additional new program, Science Park, will feature a dedicated stage and exhibition area featuring advanced research and development technology topics centered on universities, research consortia, and R&D tools and technologies.
