AMD, Intel, Cypress and Synopsys Executives to Deliver Keynotes at SEMICON West 2007
 Keynotes to Highlight the Latest in Revolutionary High-K Developments, DFM
                              and Solar Energy

    SAN JOSE, Calif., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SEMICON West, the world's
most comprehensive event dedicated to the global semiconductor and
microelectronics manufacturing supply chains, will return to the Moscone
Center in San Francisco, California the week of July 16-20.
    Presentations at this year's exposition will focus on a range of topics
that are revolutionizing the advanced manufacturing world including new
opportunities for high-K materials, the solar energy market and innovative
new advances in design-for-manufacturing. The following executives will be
delivering keynotes at SEMICON West:
    -- Douglas Grose, SVP of Technology Development, Manufacturing and Supply
       Chain, AMD
    -- Paolo Gargini, Intel Fellow, Technology and Manufacturing and Group
       Director, Technology Strategy, Intel
    -- T.J. Rodgers, chairman, SunPower Corporation and chairman, CEO and
       director, Cypress Semiconductor
    -- Rhone Resch, president, Solar Energy Industries, Association (SEIA)
    -- Aart de Geus, chairman and CEO, Synopsys
    "The most exciting developments in the industry are taking place at
SEMICON West 2007, and virtually every global equipment and material
supplier will be participating," said Victoria Hadfield, president of SEMI
North America. "Visitors can expect to see more than 200 new product
introductions, the latest ITRS updates and discussions, and learn about the
most innovative new technological developments, which could move the
industry past 45 nm and CMOS."
    The TechXPOTs ("Tech Spots"), which are essentially
shows-within-the-show, feature a combination of exhibits, live technical
content, and presentations by the winners of the Technology Innovation
Showcase (TIS), as well as special interactive displays. This year's
TechXPOTs include Emerging Technologies and Markets, Test Assembly and
Packaging and Challenges in Device Scaling.
    Solutions for effectively modeling nano particles, new ultra-stable
systems for producing solar energy and products that enable high-volume
manufacture of advanced micro and nano structures will be featured in the
Emerging Technologies and Markets TechXPOT. The Test, Assembly and
Packaging area will highlight new organic packaging technologies, software
suites that enable accelerated yield ramps or deliver fully automated 2D/3D
inspection that ensure production speed and accuracy. Innovations that
reduce gate leakage, provide atomic level process control and software
designed to analyze fab data and improve wafer yields will be found in the
Challenges in Device Scaling TechXPOT.
    In total, the TechXPOTs will feature more than 30 hours of content
focused on innovations key to reshaping the face of the industry, and will
be free to SEMICON West 2007 attendees.
    In addition to the comprehensive program, this year's exposition will
feature the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS)
discussion, which for the first time will be held on the SEMICON West 2007
show floor.
    SEMICON West 2007 will feature well over 1,000 exhibiting companies,
representing 23 countries. In 2006, more than 40,000 people registered for
the show, making it the largest microelectronics technology exposition in
the North America.
