Welcome to the ITRS!

Thank you for your interest and visit! The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, known throughout the world as the ITRS, is the fifteen-year assessment of the semiconductor industry’s future technology requirements. These future needs drive present-day strategies for world-wide research and development among manufacturers’ research facilities, universities, and national labs.

The 2009 ITRS Summer Public Conference features a special ITRS Keynote Panel moderated by George M. Scalise, President of the SIA. Panelists, including Jim Clifford/Qualcomm, Mark Durcan/Micron, Douglas Neugold/ATMI, Thomas St. Dennis/Applied Materials, and Tien Wu/ASE Group, will discuss the challenges facing the industry, and begin the process of addressing them to ensure that they do not become show-stoppers. The entire semiconductor ecosystem is changing, with increasing cost and complexity for each element of the supply chain -- design, process technology, manufacturing, packaging, software, and systems. These issues become even more challenging in the context of the current worldwide economic downturn.

This panel discussion will be held 15 July, 2:30-4:00 at the Novellus Theater at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts located between the Marriott Hotel and the Moscone Center.
