ISSM 2008 CFP JAPANESE VERSION(PDF: 283 KB)
Since its start in 1992 in Japan, ISSM has activated technology diagram on semiconductor manufacturing technologies among the professionals from worldwide. The conference aims to keep continuous challenging for further developed technologies from global needs aspects and to approach to excellent turnout by enhancing the discussion on the presented technologies information among the expertise. The 17th annual ISSM will be held in Tokyo. Japan.
The semiconductor industry is now enjoying the productivity benefits from 300mm wafer fab with geometry scaling beyond 0.1 micron. The manufacturing technologies show drastic revolution and stronger collaborative efforts are required to find solutions to the pre-competitive challenges. The ISSM 2008 will feature keynote speeches by world leading speakers, timely and highlighted topics besides the ISSM areas of interests, tutorial session which is new to ISSM in Japan and networking sessions focusing on equipment/materials/software/services with suppliers exhibits. ISSM contributes to the continues growth of semiconductor industry through its infrastructure for networking, discussion, and information sharing among world乫s professionals. We invite you to share your professional experiences at the Seventeenth International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing.

Details for the Areas of Interest
FD: Factory Design & Automated Material Handling
This area focuses on fab design and its key enablers to meet the flexibility, extendibility, and scalability needs of a cost-effective leading-edge fab.
MS: Manufacturing Strategy and Operation Management
This area focuses on strategy and concepts for more functional fab, and its operation management to meet rapidly changing complex business requirements.
MC: Manufacturing Control and Execution
This area includes manufacturing execution and decision support systems, factory scheduling, control of equipment/materials handling systems and queue time management.
PC: Process Control and Monitoring
This area focuses on tighter process control for 65nm/45nm production, faster ramp up of volume production and higher uptime by FDC and e-diagnostics.
PO: Process and Material Optimization
This area focuses on process and material optimization from the standpoint of miniaturization, cost reduction and environment.
YE: Yield Enhancement Methodology
This area focuses on probe yield enhancement and its stabilization technology including inspection, analysis and reduction of defects and particles. Reports for the advanced 45nm process and 300mm wafer processes would be especially attractive.
UC: Contamination Control and Ultraclean Technology
