Roadmap and Challenges of Semiconductor Industry

The semiconductor industry provides today’s key enabling hardware for the “age of digitization”. New applications for automotive, industrial, medical and communications are being developed daily, annual industry growth is expected to double from ~3% to ~6% p.a. within next 5 years. Every stake holder throughout the semiconductor supply chain is being challenged to keep pace with this speed of innovation and growth.
In this session experts representing material and equipment suppliers, integrated device manufacturers as well as foundry fabs will discuss existing and upcoming issues and opportunities to successfully contribute to the growth on a global scale.
