Feel the need to learn more on how to make a "semiconductor device?" You might want to check this out. Jeff << SEMIndex Stock Web Site Links to INFRASTRUCTURE's Technology Tour BusinessWire, Tuesday, February 23, 1999 at 15:56 DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 1999--INFRASTRUCTURE, the leading independent research organization covering the semiconductor manufacturing industry, is pleased to announce that its Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Tour has been selected by global industry trade association, SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International), to give a basic technology overview to visitors to its new investor Web site. SEMIndex is a new global stock index for publicly traded semiconductor equipment and material suppliers which was launched last week by SEMI to increase Wall Street's awareness of those companies and to move the group from the shadows of chip makers. Total market cap of the SEMI index is over $90 billion. Of that, 46 U.S.-based companies account for 59% of the market capitalization, followed by eight European companies with 11% of the market cap and eight Japanese companies with 30%. The new stock index will be updated every 15 minutes during U.S. trading on SEMI's Web site: semindex.org. The Technology Tour is a selection of 22 slides from INFRASTRUCTURE's renowned semiconductor manufacturing seminar. This tour provides Web site visitors with a basic overview of each of the major steps required to process a semiconductor device. The tour is ideal for non-technologists who desire a basic understanding of the fundamentals of chipmaking. The tour may also be viewed by directly visiting the INFRASTRUCTURE Web site: infras.com. Ron Leckie, INFRASTRUCTURE's CEO, commented, "We are very pleased to be able to add value to SEMI's investor Web site by providing access to our Technology Tour." Leckie added, "Clearly, this Technology Tour cannot go into the full detail of our 3-hour seminar, but we have decided to share the core technology elements via the Internet." Carl Johnson, INFRASTRUCTURE's President, said, "Last week, our full seminar was well received by a large audience at SEMI's investor conference, SEMInvest in New York." Johnson added that, "For those who could not attend in New York, the Web site tour offers a brief review of the essential technology elements." >>
