Vietnam Semiconductor Strategy Summit: SEMI announces keynotes

News

 Intel and CNS to provide perspectives on Vietnamese industry


SEMI has announced the keynotes for the 2nd Vietnam Semiconductor Strategy Summit (September 16-17), a conference focused on Vietnam's growing role in the global semiconductor industry. Presentations include Sherry Boger, Vietnam general manager, Intel Corporation, and Pham B Tuan, CNS ( Sai Gon Industry Corporation), who will both provide their perspectives on current and future industry development in Vietnam.

In total for 2014 and 2015, SEMI estimates a spending of almost $4 billion on front-end and back-end equipment in the Southeast Asia region, and another $13 billion in spending on materials including $3 billion on fab related materials.

In addition, according to the SEMI World Fab Forecast, Southeast Asia is home to over 35 production fabs covering foundry, compound semiconductors, MEMS, power, LED, and other devices. Specific to backend manufacturing, Gartner reports that the Southeast Asia microelectronics manufacturing market accounts for 27 percent of the world's assembly, packaging, and test production square footage.

At this year's summit, executives from leading microelectronics companies - and semiconductor equipment and materials companies - will meet with delegates representing Vietnamese government, academia, research, and industry to explore and discuss the key strategies and opportunities in the growing Vietnam semiconductor industry. The event includes:

"¢ Market Overviews: Presentations by Bettina Weiss, SEMI Headquarters and Clark Tseng, SEMI Taiwan

"¢ Semiconductor Manufacturing in Vietnam: Presentations by: Sherry Boger, Intel; Pham B Tuan, CNS; Solomon Ng, STMicroelectronics; Todd Curtis, Fab-Finder; and Cor Claeys, Imec

"¢ Two Panel Discussions: Investor Perspectives (moderated by Eduard Hoeberichts, FabMax) and Education and Workforce Development (moderated by Bettina Weiss, SEMI)

"¢ Tabletop exhibition and discussions

"Vietnam is committed to the global microelectronics world and moving beyond backend," said Kai Fai Ng, president SEMI Southeast Asia.  "As the first major new fab project in Vietnam, many challenges still remain, from infrastructure and process technology to device design and IP creation and protection. The SEMI Vietnam event provides a key platform to advance important discussions and decision-making in this promising and growing market."

The 2nd SEMI Vietnam Semiconductor Strategy Summit is organized by SEMI and co-organized by Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP) and Ho Chi Minh City Semiconductor Industry Association (HSIA).  The premier sponsor is FabMax. 

SEMI is the global industry association serving the nano- and micro-electronic manufacturing supply chains. SEMI maintains offices in Bangalore, Beijing, Berlin, Brussels, Grenoble, Hsinchu, Moscow, San Jose, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, and Washington DC.
