 Oral History Interview: Gordon E. Moore
Interviewed by Craig Addison, SEMI
In this recent interview Gordon Moore provides his perspective on the development of the semiconductor equipment and materials industry—from Shockley Labs through Fairchild to Intel—and reflects on the "law" named after him.
The Silicon Reclaim Wafer Market is expected to grow 27% by 2010.
By Lara Chamness, SEMI Industry Research and Statistics
The worldwide reclaim wafer market is estimated at $679 million in 2007 and forecasted to reach $859 million in 2010. Growth is driven by 300 mm, which maintains higher average selling prices on a square inch basis.
China Leaders Affirm Semiconductor Industry Priorities
At SEMICON China, industry and government leaders in China affirmed the central role that semiconductor manufacturing will have in future China economic policy.
REACH Pre-Registration Starts June 1—Impacts Both Equipment and Material Suppliers
The EU REACH regulation requires, in part, that companies register the chemical substances they manufacture or import into the EU, including chemicals used in the semiconductor industry. SEMI is working with member companies and partners to support industry-wide compliance understanding and measures.
The World is Flat: FPD Globalization and Collaboration
Globalization, supply chain collaboration, manufacturing efficiency, and technology trends were addressed at the China TV Executive Roundtable, held at FPD China 2008 on March 12.
Parliamentary, Government and Industry Executive Summit to Focus on Russia
The SEMI Parliament, Government and Industry Executive Summit in Moscow will cover plans to develop the semiconductor industry in Russia, focusing on critical factors for success: global trade, education, and cooperation.
SEMI High Tech U in for the Long Haul
A major and unique aspect of High Tech U (HTU) is the ongoing engagement with program alumni. HTU strives to stay in contact for almost five years—beginning with a student’s sophomore year in high school and ending after sophomore year in college.
SEMI Quick Polls are statistically invalid and do not necessarily represent the interests
or views of SEMI members or the semiconductor industry.
An Era of Profitless Prosperity?
Is the semiconductor industry entering an era of "profitless prosperity"—a time when chip makers can’t generate sufficient return on investment to build the capacity necessary to meet unprecedented customer demand? Stephen Newberry, president and CEO of Lam Research, shares his insights.
"Is Europe Still Competitive?" Addressed at ISS in Malta
SEMI Europe's annual ISS took place in Malta on March 2–4. The attendees heard often opposing perspectives on the strengths and concerns of Europe’s semiconductor industry. Alain Dutheil, CEO of STMicroelectronics, delivered the keynote speech.
Technical Papers Needed by April 25—PV, Testing, Packaging, and MEMS/MST
SEMICON Europa is soliciting for technical papers—operational case studies and application-related presentations. Papers are need in the areas of PV, Testing, Packaging, and MEMS/MST.
