SEMATECH today announced the 2006 SEMATECH
Knowledge Series (SKS), a set of public, single-focused industry meetings
designed to increase global knowledge in key areas of semiconductor R&D.

Through hundreds of technical papers , presentations, group and panel
discussions, and poster sessions, experts at SKS meetings:

-- Rank critical issues required to bring R&D concepts to commercial
production
-- Focus on ways to extend the use of current materials in the face of
increasing costs
-- Share data and methodologies for lowering manufacturing expenses both
in existing and next-generation fabs through advances in equipment,
process, resources, fab design, and manufacturing methods
-- Guide the industry in seeking effective solutions for future
technology generations
-- Build on critical supplier and manufacturer relationships required to
accelerate innovation

"We recognize our responsibility, on behalf of our members, to provide
industry stewardship and enhance global cooperation," added Polcari. ProQuest
is committed to supporting students with quality curriculum materials, and the
acquisition of ExploreLearning leads our expansion into math and science
support," said DeSeta.
