10th European AECAPC Conference is postponed to April 2010
The recent economy crisis is taking a toll from everyone, the semiconductor industry is not excluded and it seems that the level of impact just continues to evolve.
It is in our responsibility at the AEC/APC conference, to carefully assess the situation in case the economy crisis continues or even gets worse.
To save costs, most companies have severe travel restrictions currently. To have a conference like the years before with an appropriate number of interesting presentations and a lot of talks and contacts, the Steering Committee has decided to shift the 10th AEC/APC Conference to 2010.
The 10th European AECAPC Conference will take place at Catania on April 21 - 23, 2010.

Session Topics
This conference 2010 in Catania will review recent technical advancements in order to assure alignment with the needs of integrated circuit manufacturers, semiconductor equipment suppliers, software, sensor, and metrology suppliers. It will also review SEMI standards and consistency with the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors.
Equipment and Process Fault Detection, Classification and Prediction
Includes: Fault detection and classification, analysis and prediction, fault models, defect management, environmental impacts, control of faciilities
Data Management and Process Control
Includes: Data mining, real-time data, data compression, run-to-run / wafer-to-wafer control, process models, model-based control
Metrology and Analytics
Includes: Sensors and measurement tools, virtual metrology, sensor calibration and matching, calibration materials and procedures, standard interfaces integration of metrology and analytics in production (hardware / software), intelligent sensors (self calibration, self diagnostics)
Fab-wide APC, Yield and "Multi-fab" Approaches, e-Diagnostics and e-Manufacturing
Includes: High volume vs. modular fabs, cost modeling and cost reduction, benefits and justification (RoI, CoO, OEE), productivity analysis, data mining of defect densities and PCM, yield improvement, yield models and usage in APC environment, usage of APC data for yield prediction and correlation, technology & process transfer incl. APC, systems communality, fab clusters & foundry business aspects, IP considerations
Standard and Roadmaps
Includes:Roadmaps (e.g., ITRS), application of standards (e.g., DDA, PCS), process control capabilities
Academia Contributions, Future Needs and Opportunities
Includes: Linking APC with design-for-manufacturability (DFM), use of inputs about process variability for the design process, use of inputs from the design process for acceptable process variability, utilization of APC infrastructure for supply chain management, opportunities for APC for incoming material control, opportunities for enhanced control of facilities
With the recent solar and flat panel display technology and manufacturing, the
conference decided this year to welcome this industry as well.
In addition, we plan to have a workshop-like session with technical details,
dedicated to the engineers in the line.

About the European AEC/APC Conference
The conference is held annually by the european semiconductor industry in the interest of the semiconductor industry in Europe and worldwide.
It is coordinated with the annual Sematech AEC/APC Symposium in America and Asia and Semicon Europe and takes place at centers of the semiconductor industry in Europe.
The conference is organised by Silicon Saxony, a member of European Semiconductor Networks, and hosted locally. It is self-financed by conference fee and sponsoring.
The conference is supported by institutes and universities, for example by the Fraunhofer Institut Integrierte Systeme und Bauelementetechnologie and the University of Dresden.
.
The 10th European AEC/APC Conference will take place at Catania in April 2010 and is hosted by STMicroelectronics and Numonyx.
