The International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing (ISSM) is a premier conference for semiconductor manufacturing professionals dedicated to sharing technical solutions and opinions on the advancement of manufacturing science, technologies, and management disciplines. Since its start in 1992 in Japan, ISSM has been providing unique opportunities to share semiconductor manufacturing technology”, best practices” for the benefit of professionals worldwide.
ISSM aims to establish new concepts for semiconductor manufacturing technologies and to promote them as systemized and universalized technologies. ISSM brings together researchers and engineers involved in semiconductor manufacturing technology from a wide range of industries and universities, The two-day symposium includes keynote speeches, tutorial speeches, semiconductor manufacturing technologies sessions, interactive poster sessions, and supplier exhibits.
