Michael Corbett To Address UPW Micro 2012
Registration is open for Ultrapure Water Micro (UPW Micro) that will be conducted Nov. 13-14 in Phoenix at www.ultrapurewater.com. The conference will focus on key issues in the treatment and use of semiconductor high-purity water.
Online, October 9, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Michael Corbett, the managing partner in Linx Consulting will be the keynote speaker at the 2012 ULTRAPURE WATER Micro (UPW Micro) to be conducted in Phoenix Tuesday, Nov. 13, and Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Mesa Hilton Hotel. This year's conference will feature four sessions that will focus on different aspects of semiconductor water treatment concerns.
Mr. Corbett will address the topic of "Semiconductor Industry Trends and Opportunities" as part of Session 1 that will examine "Future Challenges Facing the Semiconductor Industry". In another presentation, Dr. Abbas Rastegar of SEMATECH will examine "Particle Defectivity Challenges for Sub-16 nm HP Technology Node" and Dr. Slava Libman of Balazs Air Liquide will present on developments with the UPW ITRS and SEMI guidelines.
The Tuesday afternoon papers will focus on solutions to meet electronics' industry needs. Wednesday's session topics will be on "UPW Metrology Innovations", and "UPW Technology Optimization and Improvements". In addition to the technical presentations, conference attendees will have the chance to visit tabletop exhibits by leading suppliers in the semiconductor water business. Registration information for the conference and a schedule is available at www.ultrapurewater.com, or by calling 303/973-6700.
Tall Oaks Publishing, the publisher of two on-line technical magazines-ULTRAPURE WATER journal, and INDUSTRIAL WATER TREATMENT, organizes UPW Micro. In addition, the company offers an on-line bookstore with a wide variety of books on industrial and high-purity water treatment subjects, including filtration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, water used in semiconductor, power generation, and pharmaceutical applications. The bookstore also offers a water treatment encyclopedia on CDs, and well as CDs of past conference proceedings.
