El progreso de la micro y la nanoelectrónica en BIAS 2008The progress of the micro and nanoelectronics in BIAS 2008
December 20, 2007
The global picture of the microelectrónicas technologies is characterized by the race to "nano" level and the technological aspects of this trend are intertwined with the economic aspects and market. In this way, draw new and interesting opportunities posed by the best premises for the 2008 edition of
BIAS (fair international Biennale of automation, instrumentation, microelectronics and ICT for industry) and BIAS Manuf@cturing Solutions (biennial exhibition of global solutions of information technology for the industry) scheduled from 27 to 30 may in fieramilano, Rho.
According to data from the European Commission, Directorate-General for research, for example, community investments in nanoelectronics totalled today six billion euros distributed, by a third each, between nano and micro, Diagnostics and materials.
In the semiconductor market, it seems to have been aimed towards recovery. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), growth for the current year will be 2.3 per cent, with a slight negative in the case of the analog and the micro sign, but with good results for the memories, the opto-electronicssensors and, above all, the software components. For the year 2008, the WSTS expected even better results.
In this context, BIAS 2008 therefore means a great opportunity for business and professional updating.
Therefore, as evidenced by growing requests for participation by businesses, BIAS will be the event of the year of the sector. The fair will reserve a spacious to technological innovations in nanotechnology, but also in organic electronics and new materials in general, sensors, photovoltaic sector and various applications in the field of energy, production systems and electronic design.
They will play an important role the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), as also the CEM (Contract Electronic Manufacturers) and the EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services), which gravely increasingly the scene of the production and electronic distribution and follow products and systems throughout their useful life.
The exhibition offer will be further supplemented by a qualified program of conferences and workshops, established according to the real demands of the market, will help to deepen the main topics of discussion between operators. Made in collaboration with the main associations of reference for the sector, will be a unique opportunity for Professional update and debate.
