July 3, 2017 | Yole DéveloppementEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Outlines:
- The first Yole Développement and CIOE’s forum on laser technologies! 6-7 September, 2017 | Shenzhen, China.
- Key reasons to be here! 3 main sessions - About 20 high level presentations - Unique access to leading players and experts - Several networking times to discuss with your peers.
- This 1st forum is must for all laser industry executives as well as for manufacturers, integrators and users managers.
“Since its invention in the 1960s, the laser has evolved from “a solution looking for a problem” to a tool becoming indispensable in many application fields, spanning multiple industries,” explains Royce Lee, Industry Manager for Consumer Electronics & Micromachining, TRUMPF. And he adds: “Advances in laser technologies ranging from power scaling to ultra short pulse technologies and cost per watt reduction has further accelerated the adoption of this technology in many areas.“
Trumpf, Coherent, Hans’s Laser and more are part of the 1st Executive Forum on Laser Technologies, taking place on September 6&7, 2017 in Shenzhen, China, alongside the 19th China International Optoelectronic Expo 2017. Powered by Yole Développement (Yole) and CIOE and supported by EPIC, this conference proposes a powerful program focused on laser technologies & market trends.
Under a dynamic context investigated by Yole’s analysts, lot of technical issues, business opportunities, and emerging applications… have been identified. Laser technologies are today undoubtedly present in many industries including the impressive semiconductor industry with applications focused on process manufacturing (dicing – lithography and debonding process steps). What is the status of the laser technologies today? Applications and related market segments, technology challenges, competitive landscape and more will be discussed at the 1st Executive Forum on Laser Technologies. Yole, in collaboration with CIOE and EPIC developed a relevant program of presentations, Q&A and networking sessions to explore this industry.
“The 1st Executive Laser Technology Forum is a market & technology focused program,” announces Eric Yang, Vice General Manager at CIOE. “Because of the leading market positioning of companies based in South China, especially involved in laser micro processing applications, both partners Yole & CIOE naturally decided to set up the Laser Forum in Shenzhen, China. This collaboration is showing the growing adoption of laser technologies in numerous industries, for lot of applications. Laser Forum is a unique opportunity for industrial players to learn more about the technologies status and meet related experts”.
« Laser applications in the semiconductor industry are quite broad and diversified”, comments Amandine Pizzagalli, Technology & Market Analyst, Advanced Packaging & Semiconductor Manufacturing at Yole. Therefore, various type of laser technologies can be applied in major semiconductor processes such as welding, drilling, cutting, annealing, and debonding. The selection of the most suitable laser processing type is strongly depending on the material you would like to process, the related processing parameters as well as the manufacturing process steps. “The penetration of laser technologies in each market segment is evolving independently”, adds Amandine Pizzagalli from Yole. ”Laser technologies growth is depending on the technology maturity and the complexity of the semiconductor manufacturing process steps as well as the status of the semiconductor market segments.”
The laser forum will bring together an excellent panel of manufacturers, integrators and users experts. Aim of this exciting program will allow participants to get valuable insights into the status and future of the laser industry as well as provide unprecedented opportunities for meeting with industry leaders.
Over 1.5 day, it will address laser emerging applications and key markets, new technologies, and future trends. Yole & CIOE forum is must for all laser industry executives as well as for manufacturers, integrators and users managers to network and learn about all the latest industry trends.
“Bridging the gap between industry experts and users, the forum will feature one main conference which includes a series of specific presentations and panel discussions to examine industry topics”, announces Pierrick Boulay, Technology & Market Analyst, Solid State Lighting at Yole. “Together with key players, we will highlight the key technical and business trends in laser source technology and manufacturing in a dedicated meeting place, gathering Chinese and international companies, from users to suppliers.”
