Join Jim Feldhan at DAC

Join Jim on June 3rd for DAC's breakfast session on Building an Open Ecosystem to Fuel IoT and Mobile Growth.  The session begins at 7:15 a.m. at the Westin Hotel.  

In the nanometer era, there are many new challenges to manage the complexities of bringing a competitive SoC-enabled solution to market on advanced process technologies. Attend this breakfast panel to learn how GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Synopsys are collaborating to enable an open ecosystem, offering a full spectrum of support ranging from product definition and design to manufacturing and packaging, to deliver differentiated silicon solutions to fuel IoT and mobile growth. The discussion will explore the challenges from the foundry, EDA, IP, design services, and customer perspectives, while sharing combined experiences and recommendations on how to solve problems at the SoC level.

Jim will be presenting market forecast data on the IoT market, and will be joined by speakers from HP, Broadcom, Synopsys, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and Semiconductor Engineering.

Join Semico at SEMICON West

Semico has partnered with SEMI to host one of their TechXPOT sessions.  We will be in the South hall on Thursday, July 10th from 10:30am to 12:30pm.  

3D printing is making its mark in almost every field of design, from fashion to art to architecture.  If you can imagine it, you can print it.  The printing process allows designers to make things lighter using materials and techniques they haven't been able to use before, and to completely customize designs for their application.  3D printing slashes prototype turn-around times from months to weeks, days, or even hours.  This innovative manufacturing method enables engineers to design higher-quality products while reducing time-to-market.

At this ground-breaking session on 3D printing, industry experts will explore how 3D printing can benefit manufacturers:

• How can equipment manufacturers use in-house 3D printing to speed up prototyping, lower costs, and protect intellectual property?
• Which manufacturing applications are a good fit for 3D printing?
• How are tool companies already using 3D printing in their processes?
• Can 3D printing be used effectively to manufacture end-use products?

Join Semico Research and representatives from the 3D printing supply chain to find out how this inspiring technology will impact the semiconductor industry.   

Semico's Jim Feldhan and Adrienne Downey will be joined by speakers from Microfabrica, Rabbit Proto, Protocafe, and Stratasys.
