About the European APCM Conference
The European Advanced Process Control and Manufacturing (APCM) Conference is directed to manufacturers, suppliers and scientific community of semiconductor, photovoltaic, LED, flat panel, MEMS, and other related industries.
The topics are focused on current challenges and future needs of Advanced Process Control and Manufacturing Effectiveness.
The conference takes place at centers of the semiconductor
and photovoltaic industry in Europe annually. It is coordinated with the Sematech AEC/APC Symposium
in America and Asia and Semicon Europe.
The conference is organised by Silicon Saxony,
a member of European Semiconductor Networks, and hosted locally.
The conference is self-financed by fees and sponsoring.
