This meeting in Stresa, Italy, held from April 18-20, 2004, focused on advancing factory integration in semiconductor manufacturing. Key discussions involved aligning cross-technology working group issues, enhancing process control systems, and establishing integrated metrology and automation guidelines. Experts from leading companies explored the implications of technology nodes on factory operations and emphasized the need for standardized information infrastructures. Future challenges, including the transition to 450mm wafer sizes and productivity metrics, were also highlighted to ensure effective research strategies moving forward.
