SEMICON West '08: SEMICON/West Morphs Into A Different Show

Jun 30 2008 10:24AM | Permalink |Email this|Comments (0) |


SEMICON/West has been evolving into a slightly different show every year. In many ways, it has become much more regional in its attendance, and it has lost much of its pull as a truly international show as SEMI added regional shows across Asia. This year, it takes a new step with the co-location with Intersolar North America. While, in some respects, people might expect this to cause many visitors to flock from the traditional North and South halls to the sunnier third floor of the West hall, it's important to note the photovoltaics involvement of many of the traditonal semiconductor equipment and materials vendors themselves. Such involvement, no doubt, was a key driver behind the collaboration between the organizations behind Intersolar with SEMI. 
SEMI strives to keep West relevant and current as well, with a fine line up of activities. One panel on 3-D technologies already has over 900 registrants, showing the intense interest in this hot technology. Rumor has it there's also great interest in the litho events at West.
As we did last year, Semiconductor International will be writing and producing the SEMICON Show Daily in partnership with SEMI. Look for news, guides and commentary in these dailies, which will be distributed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. From all of us here at SI, have  a great show!
