Organized by Future Horizons, imec, SEMI Europe Grenoble Office

Almost a billion Euros of investment in Europe combined with the G450C initiative based in Albany New York is making the 450mm wafer size transition a reality.  It is forecast that by around 2026 usage of this wafer size will equal that of 300mm.  This transition will inevitably lead to many opportunities for the European Semiconductor E&M community, both in the building of new 450mm fabs and also in improvements to existing 300mm fabs derived from the same new technologies and techniques.  

This workshop was hosted by IMEC and will explained the current status of the transition and emphasized the actions being taken by the European Commission under the FP7 Bridge450 program to ensure European SMEs can be fully involved in this transition.  It will covered progress on the IMEC 450mm Pilot Line and gave updates on the market. 

Posters giving details and latest news from all the European funded 450mm projects were also on display.
