Grenoble

SEMI spoke with Dr. Mikko Söderlund, sales director for Beneq’s semiconductor business, about trends in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) applications. Söderlund shared his views ahead of his presentation at SEMI MEMS & Imaging Sensors Summit, 25-27 September, 2019, at the WTC in Grenoble, France.

SEMI spoke with Thomas Fries, founder and CEO of FRT GmbH, about how hybrid metrology is shaping multi-sensor metrology tools to enhance measurement precision as the industry moves away from a single-sensor approach.

Thanks to a combination of proprietary algorithms, advanced sensor fusion and the natural geomagnetic field, GipStech, a spin-off of Università della Calabria, built an indoor localization and navigation technology platform for accurate localization in the absence of an adequate GPS signal.

Data management tools need to become whip-smart, multi-sensor packages are the real deal, and a renewed emphasis on safety has thrust ADAS sensor systems into the spotlight. These were among the latest industry insights shown during European MEMS & Sensors Summit and Imaging & Sensors Summit.

SEMI spoke with Xperi Corporation SVP of engineering Petronel Bigioi about infrastructure & related technology requirements to design, train & implement deep learning in revolutionary architectures; inference engines & their scalability for various markets; and encrypted networks & IP protection.

Ahead of his presentation on the future of wearables at the European MEMS & Sensors Summit 2018, 19-21 September in Grenoble, France, SEMI spoke with Dr. Peter Weigand, vice president, Business Strategy and Portfolio Management, Bosch Sensortec GmbH. Dr. Weigand.
