Phoenix, Arizona September 27, 2011 - The Semiconductor industry was on a path to break $300 billion U.S. dollars in 2011, only to stagnate this summer as worries of excess inventories and lackluster demand plagued manufacturers. At the SEMI Arizona Breakfast Forum on October 11, 2011, several industry leaders will present their views on challenges the industry faces on its way to recovery.

Tony Massimini, Chief of Technology of Semico Research, will present the Semico market outlook, addressing key issues that are affecting the strength and direction of the semiconductor sales. Semico's Inflection Point Indicator (IPI) continues to be the best predictor of shifts in the direction of the semiconductor market. Mr. Massimini will present analysis on the end use application that are major driving forces. This will include innovative technologies , such as MEMS, SoCs and others, that are enabling this growth. The market will turn back up and Tony will present Semico's view as to when and how this will happen.
