Arizona: The Epicenter of Semiconductor Resurgence

Whether we start calling it Chip Canyon, the Silicon Zone, or Silicon Diyógí (say Dare-yo-ghee), it looks like Arizona is on track for becoming the epicenter of semiconductor resurgence, not just in the U.S. but in all of North America. And we have the collective visions of Governor Katie Hobbs,...

SEMICON China – An Exhibitor Perspective

After the cancellation of SEMICON Korea in January, not many were surprised to learn that SEMICON China would not take place in March as planned. After a couple of months in limbo, SEMI finally announced that the big exhibition would be moved to the end of June, during a weekend,...

SEMICON Europa and Productronica 2019 Exhibitor Showcase

The trade show floors at the combined SEMICON Europa and Productronica events can be daunting. In past years, we’ve focused our visits on the SEMICON Europa exhibitor floor, but as the lines fade between front-end processes, advanced packaging, and board assembly, getting the whole story called for visits to the...

Supporting the 3D Megatrend in Semiconductor Manufacturing

We’ve waited a long time for this, and now it’s here. There is a 3D megatrend happening in semiconductor manufacturing, as scaling alone does not meet the sophisticated computing needs of Industry 4.0 applications like blockchain, 5G, the internet of things (IoT), autonomous transportation, telemedicine, and more. These emerging technologies...

New Details About More-than-Moore Test Technology Advances

SEMICON West and the Electronic System (ES) Design West were, for the first time, co-located at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, from July 9 to 11, 2019. In addition to most keynotes, I reported about here, This blog talks about some in-depth technical presentations on test and the progress...

Mission Impossible? Not for SEMI!

San Francisco’s Moscone Center (above), the traditional home of SEMICON West trade shows, is undergoing major reconstruction work. Looking at this picture of the South Hall you may ask yourself: “Can anybody organize a large trade show here and make it a big success?” My answer is: “YES, the SEMI...

SEMICON Europa 2017 Moves to Munich

So here’s a funny story.  At the MEMS Summit in Stuttgart in September, while chatting with Denny McGuirk President and CEO, SEMI, I suggested that SEMICON Europa 2017 would be better attended if it was held in Munich. I’ll admit this was mostly selfishly motivated, as I’ve made the trek...
