Munich, Germany — Semiconductors are indispensable. These tiny chips are the most important technology of the modern world — the key compo- nents of all electrical systems. From November 12 to 15, pro-

time. According to Gartner, they gen-
ductronica, together with SEMICON Europa, will organize the largest microelectronic exhibition in Europe at the Messe München fair grounds with innovative solutions and prod- ucts from the complete supply chain. Since 1978, semiconductors
have been growing worldwide at an average rate of 8.9 percent per year. In 2018, industry experts from IC Insights counted more than a trillion ICs, sensors and optical and discrete components (O-S-D) for the first
erated $476.7 billion in sales revenue — an increase of 13.4 percent over 2017. Almost 35 percent of this was in the microchips area. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), this year’s figure is expected to collapse by more than thirty per- cent, pulling the semiconductor mar- ket into the red by 12 percent. Europe, in contrast to America,
Japan and the Asia-Pacific region, was comparatively less affected by this shift, with a decline of 3.1 per- cent. However, a global increase of 5.4 percent is expected as early as 2020.
Regardless of this, the rapid
IWLPC Program Announced and Registration Opened
Minneapolis, MN — The Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) and Chip Scale Review have announced the program for the 16th annual International Wafer-Level Packaging Conference (IWLPC). The conference will be held October 22 to 24, 2019, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in San Jose, California. The technical sessions on
Tuesday and Wednesday are organ- ized into three tracks: wafer-level packaging, 3D packaging, and advanced manufacturing and test. The wafer-level packaging (WLP) track offers sessions on materials, reliability, metrology, processing, and new technology, such as fan-out WLP. The 3D packaging track includes ses- sions on design, test, characterization,
wafer bonding, chip stacking, and pro- cessing for fan-out. The advanced manufacturing and test track will offer sessions on process materials, equipment, inspec tion, and more. Packaging technology experts
John Lau, Ph.D., Unimicron Technol - ogy, John Hunt, ASE (US) Inc., Gilad Sharon, Ph.D., ANSYS, and Jeff Gotro, Ph.D., InnoCentrix, LLC, are scheduled to lead half-day workshops on Thursday, October 24, 2019. Registration for IWLPC is now avail- able online. Discounted rates are available for conference registrations made on or before September 27, 2019. Contact: SMTA, 6600 City West

changes in technology in highly com- plex and machine-intensive IC pro- duction will see an increase in demand for new equipment. For example, analysts from “The Insight Partners” estimate sales revenue from manufacturers of plant and machinery for semiconductor produc- tion last year at $62.1 billion. With an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2 percent, total income of $101.6 billion can be expected by 2027. Most of this will be generated by wafer production, followed by test equipment. However, the semiconductor
industry is not only stretched to its limits from a physical aspect, but also in financial terms. Factories for manufacturing 7 nm chips cost many billions of dollars, also due to the changeover from lithography pro - cesses to extremely shortwave ultra- violet light (EUV). This technology is also regarded
August, 2019
as a prime example of European col- laboration. ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) and the world’s biggest supplier of lithography systems, ASML in the Netherlands, have been making sig- nificant contributions to this for many years. However, the European semiconductor industry is under enormous pressure. In the 1990s, its share of worldwide semiconductor production was more than 15 per- cent, but last year, this had fallen to less than ten percent. Cross-country funded projects,
such as “Electronic Components and Systems for European Leadership (ECSEL),” have been established to stop this decline and drive the devel- opment and production of semicon- ductors and other electronic compo- nents in Europe. Within this scope, Fraunhofer IPMS and the research hub for nano-
