SAN JOSE, Calif. - May 3, 2016 - SEMI today announced the SEMICON West 2016 program agenda with a focus on todayÂ’s issues facing the future of semiconductor manufacturing. SEMICON West, July 12 to 14, brings together an industry that looks wholly different. In the last 18 months, there were over $100 billion in mergers and acquisitions, fragmentation of demand, and increasing vertical integration of the entire electronics supply chain. In response, SEMICON West 2016 has been retooled. In addition to the exposition with over 700 exhibitors, SEMICON West will feature over 250 hours of programs and events, covering every segment of the industry. Free registration for SEMICON West ( www.semiconwest.org) ends May 6.
