SEMI® is pleased to announce the first annual Best of West Award, recognizing important product and technology developments in the microelectronics industries.
The Best of West Award will provide maximum visibility and value to exhibitor winners, spotlighting exciting new products and technologies in front of a large global audience.
All exhibitors are encouraged to participate. Winners will be selected by an independent panel of highly qualified judges. Best of West finalists and award recipients will be selected based on the submission’s financial impact on the industry, engineering or scientific achievement, or societal impact and benefits.
Both finalists and winners will be recognized throughout the industry for their new products and technologies that have the highest expected impact on the microelectronics industry. Special encouragement and consideration will be given to start-up and smaller companies. Submissions are free and open to all exhibitors.

Qualifying Products, Services and Technologies Consideration for the Best of West awards will be limited to all products, services and technologies publicly introduced from May 1, 2008 to SEMICON West 2008. Submitting companies must be developers of the product or technology (no rep firms or third parties) and must be exhibitors at SEMICON West. SEMI reserves the right to make all final decisions on eligibility. Entries are limited to two per exhibitor.
Finalists were selected by vote from a distinguished panel of judges from academia, industry and SEMI. Finalists will receive recognition for their achievement through press releases, on the SEMICON West website, through online exhibitor directories, and special booth displays.
Winners will be announced during SEMICON West on July 16 and will be selected from the pool of finalists. Judges may visit exhibitors during SEMICON West to obtain further information on the submission.
