ADVISORY/Asyst Technologies and VLSI Research to Conduct First in a Series of Conference Calls Focused On Fab Automation.News/Assignment Editors ADVISORY...for Thursday Thursday: see week. (May 24) --(BUSINESS WIRE)
WHAT: Asyst Technologies and VLSI Research have joined forces to present a
special technology series dedicated to the status, challenges, opportunities
and future direction of semiconductor fab automation. Using an interactive Q&A
format, coupled with a live telecast, each segment of the new Fab Automation
Series will explore a vital facet of fab automation and its enabling role in
the successful fabrication of state-of-the-art chips. Moderated by well-known
industry analyst G. Dan Hutcheson, president of VLSI Research, the segments
will include guest industry experts, who will help provide a unique perspective
on the topic at hand, as well as visionary insight into the future roadmap. The
Fab Automation Series, which debuts May 24th, kick-offs with "Fab
Connectivity"--a critical component in today's increasingly automated IC
manufacturing facilities. -0-
