The SEMICON Europa 99 Test Conference will be held April 12, the day before the exhibition. It will address new challenges in semiconductor manufacturing testing technologies. Other topics planned for the conference include microelectromechanical systems (MEMs), advanced packaging technologies, lithography, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma damage, interconnect technology issues, automation and a conference on semiconductor manufacturing cleanrooms.
Semiconductor test issues will serve as the major emphasis of the show. The exposition will feature an expanded conference on semiconductor test issues and a pavilion dedicated to companies exhibiting the latest test equipment, products and services. The Test Pavilion will occupy hall A2 of the trade center and is expected to host over 100 test-specific exhibit booths.
The SEMInvest conference will be held in conjunction with the exposition, on April 13, to facilitate communication between the semiconductor equipment and materials industries and the institutional investment industry. It aims to support the capital formation and investment relations requirements of SEMI member companies.
