Mount Atna

Volcanic eruption in Iceland
The volcanic eruption in the glacier Eyjafjallajokull in South Iceland is continuing. Current informations are published for example by the Icelandic Meteorological Office and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres (VAAC). Please check possible impacts of this impressive natural phenomenon on your flight schedule.
Informations about current activity of Mount Etna are published by the Instituto Nazionale die Geofisica e Vulcanologia - Sezione di Catania ... see you in Catania !

Conference Highlights
Welcome Address by Raffaele Stancanelli (Catania City Mayor)
Keynotes by:
Orio Bellazza (STMicroelectronics, Executive Vice President - Front End)
Georg Kelm (Head of Sector Nanoelectronics at European Commission)




Scope of the Conference

This Conference in 2010 in Catania will review recent technical advancements in order to assure alignment with the needs of integrated circuit manufacturers, the solar and flat-paneel manufacturers, equipment suppliers, software providers, as well as sensor and metrology suppliers. It will also review new and upcoming SEMI standards and foster consistency with the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors.

Session Topics

We appreciate input from semiconductor industry as well as from solar and flat panel display manufacturing !

1. 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


2. 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

3. 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)

4. 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


5. Standard and Roadmaps
Includes: Roadmaps (e.g., ITRS), application of standards (e.g., DDA, PCS), process control capabilities


6. 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


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.
