Munich, Germany — Whether it be smartphones, vehicles or medical devices, almost no technical product exists without semiconductors as core elements. The largest microelec- tronics event in Europe, productroni- ca, is hosting SEMICON Europe in hall B1 of the Messe München, in
Munich, Germany, from November 14 to 17, 2017. In the middle of 2017, analysts
predicted a significant increase of 16.8 percent for the worldwide semi- conductor market after a moderate increase of 1.5 percent last year. Sales are expected to increase to
FUTURECAR Workshop: New The plenary session on Nov -
ember 8 will include presentations by experts from Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Bosch, Qualcomm, SAE International, and Yole Dévelop - pement. The workshop sessions on November 9 and 10 include: power devices and packaging; high-temper- ature materials and reliability; sens- ing electronics; computing and com- munications; and student posters. FUTURECAR draws on the
more than $400 billion. Skyrocketing sales of memory chips are largely responsible for this. Also, the value of semiconductor content in electronic devices reached a record figure of 28.1 percent this year, according to market research firm IC insights. The market for semiconductor
Era of Automotive Electronics San Jose, CA — Future automotive electronics, such as autonomous driving, in-car smartphone-like info- tainment, privacy and security, and all-electric vehicles present unparal- leled opportunities. They require new kinds of devices and packaging, including materials, tools, processes, substrates, packages, components, and integrated functions in both R&D and manufacturing. Held November 8 to 10, 2017, at
Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, FUTURECAR will offer insight into the challenges and opportunities present in automotive electronics. Georgia Tech and SEMI see unprecedented technical chal- lenges and opportunities in electrical, mechanical and thermal designs, as well as new digital, RF, radar, lidar, camera, millimeter wave, high-power and high-temperature technologies. The workshop will highlight
rapid advancements in automotive electronics applications, and explore technical and business barriers that are best addressed collectively across the supply chain. This event pro- vides a unique opportunity for the semiconductor manufacturing and automotive supply chains to connect, collaborate and identify areas for new solutions.
synergy between Georgia Tech in R&D and its industrial partners, and SEMI’s connections to global elec- tronics manufacturing. Key to the depth of the work-
shop is support and expertise from the technical co-sponsors Interna - tional Electronics Manu facturing Initiative (iNEMI), IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (IEEE EPS) and International Microelec tronics As - sem bly and Packaging (IMAPS), as well as SAE Inter national, a global association that represents engi- neers and experts in the aerospace, automotive and commercial vehicle industries.

production facilities is even more positive. SEMI expects a worldwide growth of 19.8 percent with a volume of $49.4 billion this year. China, with more than 60 percent, and Europe, with over 50 percent, recorded the biggest increases. Among other things, demand for equipment is increasing, created by pressure for innovation in the industry and

diverse customer needs. The entire semiconductor in -
dustry is going through massive changes. After five decades, Moore’s Law, which predicts that twice as many transistors are packed on a microprocessor every two years, is losing steam. Physics no longer coop- erates, the semiconductor fabs for the next chip generations are too expensive, and it no longer makes sense for an increasing number of chips to follow Moore’s Law. For example, the focus in mobile devices is moving away from pure computing power toward connectivity and power management.
