Advanced Processing and Materials

The demand for higher performance continues to drive the incorporation of new devices and technologies into semiconductor manufacturing. The new devices require new materials like high k gate and capacitor dielectrics, low k interlayer dielectrics, and engineered substrates. This session will feature presentations by device makers, equipment manufacturers, research labs and material suppliers describing these new technologies and how they have been or will be integrated into production.
