Dallas &Austin Breakfast Presentations: ``The Semiconductor Manufacturing Outlook''.Business Editors DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2000 Polishing the Crystal Ball: The Semiconductor Manufacturing Outlook This is the title of a presentation to be delivered in Texas next month by INFRASTRUCTURE, the leading independent industry analysts and consultants covering the investor's view of the semiconductor manufacturing industry. What's the outlook for the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industries for 2000 and beyond? Are we in the middle of an extended growth cycle? If we are in a long-term growth cycle, what products will drive continued device consumption? Are there factors that could accelerate or derail the cycle? It's a formidable task to distill and synthesize all of today's information. In conjunction with SEMI, Carl Johnson and Ron Leckie of INFRASTRUCTURE will deliver their answers to these questions and many others in presentations over breakfast on March 8, 2000 in Dallas and on March 9, 2000 in Austin, Texas. The Staff of INFRASTRUCTURE have been studying market trends and cycles for over six years. During their presentation, Johnson and Leckie will discuss key metrics and provide expert commentary about the health and future of today's device manufacturing business. Important transitions in the semiconductor capital equipment arena will be addressed. The discussion will touch on new fab construction, materials consumption, 300mm and final manufacturing. The presentation will also touch on end market drivers and their impact on semiconductor consumption.
