A fresh start for the new millennium
Article Abstract:
The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) has helped equipment and materials suppliers overcome roadblocks during technology acceleration. In addition, ITRS serves as a guide in formulating company strategies and research and development goals. One limitation of the Roadmap, however, is its lack of economic considerations. To make the ITRS more helpful to semiconductor manufacturers and suppliers, it should be feasible from an economic perspective.

Mood swings at Semicon West
Article Abstract:
The semiconductor device market's mood should swing in the positive direction as suppliers rush to meet demand for 0.18 micron generation production and 0.13 micron/300 mm pilot line activity. The transition to 300 mm wafers and copper interconnects, low-k interlevel dielectrics and new gate materials is putting a heavy strain on tool and materials suppliers to meet technological requirements along with advanced automation and cost-effective prpoduction.
