Special Section on the 2014 International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing

Semiconductor manufacturing technology is reliant on the sum of the total of engineers’ experiences and the accumulation of know-how and IP. The complexity of the field prevents a shift to the systematization and universalization of technologies. In order to bring breakthroughs in semiconductor manufacturing to reflect changing and challenging new requirements, the International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing (ISSM) was launched in 1992.
