As one of the semiconductor industry’s largest annual tradeshow, SEMICON China is a great place to connect, collaborate, and innovate with the region’s growing chipmaking business. Attendees from around the world will gather at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre on March 14-16, 2018, for the event. Many of the event activities will center on expanding the manufacturing infrastructure as China continues to grow as an important region for the semiconductor industry. With diverse digital economy demand continuing, additional manufacturing capacity is being added in China as fab projects come online to develop and increase the indigenous semiconductor supply chain, according to SEMI’s January 2018 Global Update.
SEMICON Events
Kicking off the show, the Grand Opening event will feature keynote talks on the state of the industry, major trends, and other timely topics. We are honored that Rick Gottscho, Lam’s corporate chief technology officer, will join other industry leaders who have been invited to share their perspectives at this important event. Lam experts will also be participating in several of the SEMICON China forums, as listed below. In addition, Lam is sponsoring the show’s Gala Dinner, the “China Memory Strategic” forum, and the “Build China’s IC Ecosystem” forum.

Technical Symposia
Attendees can also benefit from SEMICON China’s close association with the China Semiconductor Technology International Conference (CSTIC), being held in conjunction with the tradeshow on March 11-12. Exploring a wide range of manufacturing topics, CSTIC 2018 provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the industry’s latest advances in semiconductor technology. The conference will feature nine technical symposia organized around core areas such as thin films, lithography and patterning, as well as etch and clean. We are proud to be a Silver Sponsor of CSTIC, and several Lam experts will share new developments and results for enabling technologies.
