Conference Objective:

At the Semico Manufacturing IMPACT conference, Semico and ISMI, the event Platinum Sponsor, will release their co-authored research report analyzing semiconductor technologies and how different scenarios will affect the semiconductor manufacturing outlook in the coming years.

When will 90nm become the sweet spot of semiconductor production?  Semiconductor manufacturers need capacity that is accessible, cost effective and consistent.  Semico’s January 2006 IMPACT event will bring together industry experts from SEMATECH ISMI, Altera, Chartered, IBM, Philips, TSMC, and others to address these questions and more.  One day soon, 90nm will become the sweet spot.  What’s next?  Will you be ready? 

Moore’s Law is not dead but it will take something more than current technology to provide the optimal tradeoff of the performance and low power that today’s applications are demanding.  For example, what will replace bulk CMOS?

Semiconductor technology continues to advance to meet the performance needs of both the computing market and advanced communication infrastructure, but the fast growing consumer and automotive markets are attracting more attention.  Will these cost conscience and high reliability markets change the way technology is adopted in the fab?  The industry has already seen the impact of the cost conscience consumer on design and inventories. 

The foundries continue to improve on technology, service and breadth of offerings.  Can they continue to serve the new markets of the future?  What are the critical issues facing the foundries?  These questions and more will be answered by leaders in the semiconductor manufacturing space at this event.
