Since its start in 1992 in Japan, ISSM has provided unique opportunities to share semiconductor manufacturing technology "best practices" for the benefit of professionals worldwide. At the symposium, semiconductor manufacturing professionals gather together to seriously discuss presented technologies developed because of the world wide need for semiconductor manufacturing technology advancement. The 22nd annual ISSM will be held in Tokyo, Japan in cooperation with e-Manufacturing & Design Collaboration Symposium (eMDC) which is sponsored by TSIA with support from SEMI and GSA.

It is crucial to re-examine semiconductor manufacturing in terms of fundamental principles in order to continue scaling beyond the 20nm/20nm nodes in the coming Internet of Things era. In addition, manufacturing technologies for preserving the earth's environment have become new challenges.

These manufacturing technology challenges show the need for drastic revolutionary thought and stronger collaborative efforts to find solutions to the pre-competitive challenges.

With strong partnership, ISSM and TSIA endeavor to bring together all scientists, researchers and experts from various areas to share their latest developments, break-through advancements, practical experiences and innovative ideas. The program will feature keynote speeches by world leading speakers, timely and highlighted topics and networking sessions focusing on equipment/materials/software/services with suppliers' exhibits. ISSM continues to contribute to the growth of the semiconductor industry through its infrastructure for networking, discussion, and information sharing among the world's professionals. We invite you to share your professional experiences at the 22nd annual International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing.

The Electron Devices Society (EDS) is involved in the advancement of electronics and electrical engineering through research, development, design, manufacture, materials, technology and applications of electronics devices. EDS has been concerned with technical, educational, scientific publication, and meeting activities which provide benefits to members while contributing towards the progress of this field.

Minimal Fab Minimal Fab Development Association
This Association was established as an METI project in 2012, and consists of 25 companies and The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) currently. Since then, it has been developing a small machines and a process technology for manufacturing semiconductor devices on half-inch wafers without the requirement of a clean room. The developing system promotes the establishment of a device production line with 1/1000 investment of the existing mega-fab. The advantages of minimal fab are low investment cost, user-friendly, low power consumption, and a minimum waste.

Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ)
Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ), founded in March 1985, promoted by the major semiconductor equipment manufacturers, is a nationwide organization of semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel display (FPD) and solar-photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing equipment manufacturers and related equipment manufacturers. SEAJ had existed as an incorporated association from July in 1995. From April 1st in 2012, SEAJ has been authorized by Cabinet Office as a General Incorporated Association that related to the reform of the public-interest corporations system.
