March 20-22 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, SEMICON China 2019 offers the latest perspectives and networking opportunities across the entire semiconductor supply chain including IC design, manufacturing, packaging/testing, and equipment and materials. SEMICON China 2019 is concurrent with FPD China 2019.
The record 4,000 booths from more than 1,200 exhibitors at SEMICON China 2019 reflect the region's sharp rise as a major force in the global semiconductor industry. In 2018, China's surge in fab investment thrust it past Taiwan as the second largest capital equipment market in the world, behind only Korea.
