Rebound Underway! Outlook Bright for the Semiconductor Industry
Bill McClean, President, IC Insights | View Presentation
The IC industry is poised for an impressive rebound and solid growth in 2010! Unit demand remains strong, 300mm fabs are running at full capacity, and IC average selling prices are headed higher. For the first time in a long while, companies in the IC industry have reason to be upbeat about the future. Global recessions should be thought of as periods of “pent-up” demand for electronic systems and typically set the stage for a booming IC market.

Disappearing Supply Chain from Silicon Valley?
John Housley, Sr. Partner, Techcet Group, LLC | View Presentation
For the past 30 years, Silicon Valley and most of the western U.S. has enjoyed fruitful and (normally) abundant supply chains for semiconductor manufacturing, design and OEM production. With much of the industry moving to Asia, are we now facing weak links or shortages in these supply chains? At Techcet Group, we follow four critical supply chains: OEM parts and materials, Materials (both direct and indirect), Intellectual assets, Skilled labor. We will discuss these supply chains and what we see for near and long term outlooks for them.

Performance Analog: Growing Opportunities for Signal Conditioning/Power | View Presentation
Susie Inouye, Research Director, databeans, Inc.
Analog IC technology has been around from the start of the electronics age and the market has been stereotyped as a mature slow moving segment of the semiconductor industry. This just isn’t the case at all. In fact, the more digital the world becomes, the more opportunity for analog as it is a required component allowing us to see, hear, feel, and power our “digital accessories” that we’ve come to rely on every day. Learn about the size, rate of growth, and market share of this fast moving and highly competitive market..
