SEMI 3D and Systems Summit Debuts in Dresden

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The future of intelligent systems powered by artificial intelligence (AI) will highlight the inaugural SEMI 3D & Systems Summit, 28-30 January, 2019, in Dresden, Germany, as the industry gathers for the latest insights and developments in 3D integration and systems for semiconductor manufacturing and applications. Registration is now open with early bird pricing until 30 November 2018.

3D SystemsSummit BannerSEMI 3D & Systems Summit debuts after six successful editions of the European 3D Summit, featuring a broader scope of topics aimed at driving business opportunities and innovation in areas including: 

• 3DIC Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) technology
• 2.5D, 3D FO-WLP/e-WLB
• Active and passive interposers
• Stacked dies or stacked wafers
• 3D alternative technologies
• 5G Integration

Professor Hubert LaknerProfessor Hubert Lakner, director, Fraunhofer-Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, will kick off the summit with his keynote Heterointegration – The Path to Future Complex Intelligent Systems.

Lakner will explore connected intelligence opportunities arising from the transition to autonomous driving, the digitalisation and electrification of cars, and the digitalisation of industry and electrical power grids. These capabilities will be enabled by artificial intelligence (AI), improved cybersecurity, reinforced connectivity through 5G, edge computing, low-power components, sensors and power management.

Lakner will examine how these technology trends are expected to disrupt value chains, calling for more distributed supply and tighter cooperation across various value chains based on heterointegration technologies. He’ll also offer insights on the emergence of AI and its impact on how data is processed, analysed and shared, redefining the way it influences our lives. 

3D & Systems Summit speakers include experts from companies such as Orbotech, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Fraunhofer-Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, EPIC – European Photonics Industry Consortium, McKinsey, System Plus Consulting, ASE Group, imec, DISCO HI-TEC EUROPE, STMicroelectronics, G-ray, Amkor, TU Dresden, Huawei, Fraunhofer IZM, AT&S AG, Deca Technologies and Miland.
