The Trend of Japanese Electronics Production Shift to Oversee and Semiconductor Industry
Akira Minamikawa
Vice President, Research
iSuppli Japan K.K.

Yen appreciation has stopped by the exchange rate control of Japan government. However, electronics production shift to oversee will not be stopped if this exchange rate level continue. On the other hand, Korean vendors expand oversee business by using Won depreciation. I put a focus to production of the Japanese electronics industry and predict the present conditions and the future. The change of the world electronics demand structure will accelerate the change of the production foothold. And I want to think about the influence on semiconductor industry.

Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Market Outlook
Dan Tracy
Sr. Director, Industry Research and Statistics
SEMI

The remarkably strong recovery in the semiconductor industry has driven strong growth in equipment and material spending. While the industry is slowing as the year comes to a close, this is attributed in part to seasonal trends. Growth is expected to continue in 2011, though at lower rates, as semiconductor manufacturers continue to invest in new capacity and technology upgrades.

The presentation will cover the latest year-to-date figures for semiconductor equipment and materials, along with the current SEMI forecast in these segments. The presentation will also highlight semiconductor fab investment activities for 2011.
