• High-brightness LED Manufacturing
• OLED Manufacturing
• Printed and Flexible Electronics

Prospective presenters are invited to submit abstracts (maximum 500 words) on key industry issues and topics in the areas listed above for consideration. Presentations should focus on the latest developments and innovations in these technology areas, inclusive of supporting data. Submissions may be made online from the SEMICON West 2012 website at:   www.semiconwest.org/Participate/SPCFP.

On-line submission for abstracts is now available at:  www.semiconwest.org/node/8311 . The deadline for abstract submission is March 15, 2012. If you have questions, please contact Agnes Cobar at  Email Contact.

About SEMICON West

SEMICON West is the flagship annual event for the global microelectronics industry. It is the premier event for the display of new products and technologies for microelectronics design and manufacturing, featuring technologies from across the microelectronics supply chain, from electronic design automation, to device fabrication (wafer processing), to final manufacturing (assembly, packaging, and test). More than semiconductors, SEMICON West is also a showcase for emerging markets and technologies born from the microelectronics industry, including micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), photovoltaics (PV), flexible electronics and displays, nano-electronics, solid state lighting (LEDs), and related technologies.
