MIG Holds Joint Workshop With SEMI, July 15, 2015, San Francisco, CA

(firmenpresse) - PITTSBURGH, PA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/06/15 -- ® (MIG), the trade association advancing micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and sensors across global markets, will examine the shared challenges of the MEMS, sensor and semiconductor industries, during a half-day , July 15 at . MIG teams with , the global industry association serving the nano- and microelectronic manufacturing supply chains, in hosting the workshop -- which culminates in small-group break-out sessions facilitated by industry experts.

"The MEMS, sensor and semiconductor industries have long been connected by a shared infrastructure and supply chain. And while there are significant differences in the manufacturing of MEMS and sensors -- including the use of unconventional materials, wafer bonding, packaging and lack of standard processes -- we face some of the same obstacles in realizing standardization, and in managing manufacturing, integration, packaging and testing," said Stephen Whalley, chief strategy officer, MEMS Industry Group. "By exploring commonalities instead of differences, we can leverage lessons learned, standards and best practices in order to grow our respective industries in jointly served markets, including IoT, medical and wearables."

SEMICON West is the flagship annual event for the global microelectronics industry. It is the premier event for the display of new products and technologies for microelectronics design and manufacturing, featuring technologies from across the microelectronics supply chain, from electronic design automation, to device fabrication (wafer processing), to final manufacturing (assembly, packaging, and test). More than semiconductors, SEMICON West is also a showcase for emerging markets and technologies born from the microelectronics industry, including MEMS, photovoltaics (PV), flexible electronics and displays, nano-electronics, solid state lighting (LEDs), and related technologies.
