FabTime Co-Sponsors ISMI Manufacturing Productivity Symposium


San Jose, CA | July 25, 2005

We are pleased to announce that FabTime will be a sponsor for the Second ISMI Symposium on Manufacturing Effectiveness, to be held at the Airport Hilton in Austin, Texas from October 24-26, 2005. The conference website reads: “The second annual symposium will share information and methodologies for reducing manufacturing expenses in both existing and next-generation fabs through advances in equipment, process, resource conservation, fab design, and manufacturing methods.

Challenges will be addressed in several parallel sessions dealing with productivity, ESH, fab design, statistical methods, modeling and simulation, yield and metrology, and e-manufacturing. The Symposium will offer papers from selected ISMI projects and leading device and equipment manufacturers, along with a review focused on the Factory Integration section of the 2005 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) and a forum on critical issues facing the chip industry.” More information is available at http://ismi.sematech.org/ismisymposium/. We recommend that you attend!
