SVTC Technologies CEO Dave Bergeron to present keynote presentation at CICC 2008

What: Keynote Address, “More Than Moore” by Dave Bergeron, CEO of SVTC Technologies

Where: 2008 Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), DoubleTree Hotel (Oak Ballroom), San Jose, Calif.

When: Monday, September 22, 2008, at 8:30 a.m.

There’s plenty of life left in Moore’s Law, as today’s leading-edge semiconductor developments will attest. However, there is a new direction in semiconductor innovation that takes advantage of old technology nodes. It’s called “More than Moore.” This approach leverages the CMOS backbone-established processes and technologies to develop novel function in passive devices, high- and low-voltage transistors, MEMS and a host of other products.

In this keynote, Dave Bergeron describes the evolving infrastructure and expanding marketplace – and he lays out options and strategies for “More than Moore” players in today’s semiconductor industry.

Who: Dave Bergeron is the Chief Executive Officer of SVTC Technologies, a leading independent semiconductor development foundry. Before joining SVTC in 2007, he served as Executive-in-Residence at Tallwood Venture Capital, where he evaluated semiconductor chip products and equipment opportunities. Prior to joining Tallwood, Bergeron held senior management positions at Applied Materials, Candescent Technologies and IBM Microelectronics, with responsibilities for a semiconductor equipment product line; semiconductor fab operation management; and integration of multiple technology products supporting an advanced display. Bergeron has authored 17 U.S. patent grants and has published more than 30 technical bulletins and papers. He received a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in applied mathematics from Georgetown University.
