SEMICON West Week: Products and Predictions

SMT assemblers are the middle ground between chips' computing power and end-product functionality. The week of SEMICON West, co-located this year with Intersolar North America, brings together semiconductor manufacturers and packaging and test experts to evaluate new products, confer over technical issues, and make educated predictions for the short- and long-term future. SMT group editorial director Peter Singer is Twittering from the show. SMT editor-at-large Gail Flower also will be reporting from the show floor. What is celebrated, panned, and decided upon at SEMICON will affect SMT assemblers immediately and down the road.

  1. I have a local prototype board assembly house I use in the Bay Area (http://www.rapidsmtassembly.com). I didn't see them on the exhibitor list for semicon west. Is this an SMT/PCB Assembly show?
