SEMICON Southwest 2000

It's Semicon Southwest time again, and the Texas capital and college town cum music mecca cum high-tech hub continues to take on boomtown proportions. The housing squeeze and traffic jams may be a bummer, but there's still plenty of fine eatin', sightseein', and tuneful listenin' to be had in the Hill Country. This year's semiconductor family reunion at the Austin Convention Center convenes Tuesday and Wednesday, October 17 and 18, with educational and other activities happening all week. The exhibit hall will showcase goods and services from more than 500 companies in over 600 booths, with the exhibitors mainly consisting of small-to-medium-sized process and metrology toolmakers, subsystems and components suppliers, materials providers, and regional specialists. Technical program highlights include "A Partnership for PFC Emissions Reduction" on Monday and a workshop on implementing the ITRS factory integration roadmap on Tuesday. Wednesday features a session on recent advances in metrology and a workshop on supply chain management. Standards activists will be busy with a full slate of international meetings taking place Sunday through Thursday at the Marriott at the Capitol. SEMI's also throwing a Paradise Island reception Tuesday evening, promising live music, "ritas" and "coladas," and a spread for growling bellies. As for the aforementioned sightseein', eatin', and listenin', may we suggest the Zilker Park Botanical Garden on Barton Springs Road for an in-town natural getaway, the various County Line barbecue houses for some serious meat ingestion, and the whole slew of clubs in and around the infamous Sixth Street. If you're attending the show, y'all come by and say hi to the MICRO crew at Booth 803.
