CS-MAX keynote speakers confirmed

Plenary session will feature speakers from industry heavyweights representing all sectors of the III-V industry.

Keynote talks from leading device manufacturers Sony Corporation, Osram Opto Semiconductors and Global Communication Semiconductors will all feature in this year s CS-MAX plenary session.

The session, which is scheduled for Wednesday 27th October, includes coverage of all the major compound semiconductor manufacturing sectors.

Sony on blue laser diodes
Speakers include Michiro Chiba from Sony s laser diode manufacturing division. With a monthly manufacturing output exceeding 20 million units, Sony is one of the world s biggest laser diode producers, and Chiba will give CS-MAX delegates a rare insight into the Japanese company s high-efficiency production processes and future plans to make GaN-based blue emitters in high-volumes.

Osram on HB-LEDs
Production of high-brightness LEDs is the hot topic in the industry currently, and attendees will learn about key issues of safety and energy efficiency in a presentation by Zelkjo Spika from the leading LED manufacturer Osram Opto Semiconductors. Head of the company s InGaN production, Spika will focus on the new energy-efficient manufacturing facility in Regensburg, Germany.

Completing the LED and opto device coverage will be Bob Steele from Strategies Unlimited, who will analyze both the rapid growth in HB-LED production and recent developments in the markets driving laser diode production.

GCS on GaAs ICs and wireless LAN
The RFIC industry will be represented in the plenary session by the US-based GaAs foundry Global Communication Semiconductors, whose CEO Sam Lee will focus on the strong emergence of wireless LAN and Wi-Fi applications and its implications for GaAs device manufacturing.

Also providing in-depth coverage of RFIC manufacturing, with analysis of the threat to GaAs from both advanced compound semiconductors InP and GaN and low-cost silicon-based ICs, will be Asif Anwar - head of the GaAs service at the highly-respected analyst company Strategy Analytics.

Completing the CS-MAX plenary session will be Dave Reamer from the key equipment supplier Veeco Instruments. Reamer s talk will focus on the lessons that compound semiconductor device manufacturers can learn from the silicon industry in a paper entitled: "The convergence of the silicon and compound semiconductor industries".

RFMD, Bookham, Nitronex, Celeritek, WJ Communications
There will be plenty more besides, including:
• Tom Rogers, head of MBE production at the market-leading GaAs HBT power amplifier manufacturer RF Micro Devices, on world-class manufacturing techniques.
• Chuck Milligan, VP of industrial and defense solutions at Bookham Technology, on the lessons learned through transforming the company s renowned Zurich laser diode facility.
• Edwin Piner, director of material engineering at GaN HFET specialist Nitronex, on the race to commercialize wide-bandgap RF devices.
• Talks from key device manufacturers in the industry, including WJ Communications on wireless infrastructure; Celeritek on emerging RF applications; Lumei Technology on LED manufacturing in China; Spectrolab on solar cells; and many more.
