Abstract
SEMICON West kicks off this year on Tuesday, July 12, and it's chock full of programs, conferences and exhibits this year - all crammed into only three days instead of the five of recent years. This year SEMI is taking advantage of the completion of the West addition to the Moscone Center to hold the entire exhibition, front- and back-end processing, in San Francisco. The Emerging Technologies Hall (Esplanade) will house technologies that are driving Moore's Law to its limits and beyond in nanotechnology, e-manufacturing, electric design automation (EDA) and MEMS. Presentations will deal with numerous issues in the semiconductor industry, such as electrochemical processing, next-generation deep silicon etching and new models for R&D. Attractions to this hall include automotive applications, WiFi hotspot and giveaways from participating companies.
