The APC Conference is underwritten and organized by the Integrated Measurement Association www.APCconference.com
The Advanced Process Control Conference (APC) will address APC needs and solutions for the semiconductor and related industries that also require high precision manufacturing. The conference is built around tutorials, technical presentations, poster sessions, and exhibits. The Integrated Measurement Association (IMA) underwrites and organizes this event. This year will be the 31st annual meeting of this conference.
As manufacturing processes become more complex with greater yield, quality and cost objectives, APC methods to increase productivity and quality become vital. These APC methods include traditional capabilities of diagnostics and process control, but also include emerging capabilities associated with the move to implement smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 concepts; these extended APC capabilities include prediction technologies simulation and “digital twin”, and big data infrastructures. Semiconductor, memory, photovoltaic, display, MEMS, LED, pharmaceuticals, chemical and other industries are experiencing unparalleled cost and quality pressures. These demanding objectives have made APC absolutely critical for profitable manufacturing. The Integrated Measurement Association is pleased to again host this year’s conference and announce the APC Conference XXXI Call for Papers.
This call for papers is directed to the microelectronics industry, but also to any discrete manufacturing industry that has similar requirements of productivity, quality and precision. Manufacturers, equipment suppliers, universities and research institutions, software solution providers, sensor, and metrology suppliers are all encouraged to submit abstracts. APC advancements in the semiconductor and related industries will be examined to assess how synergy between these industries can be better leveraged. The conference will focus on recent technical advancements, current challenges, and future needs and trends. Suggested topics for submitted abstracts and the abstract submission procedure are given below.
The APC conference will be built around topics such as, but not limited to:
