PV at SEMICON West
Photovoltaic manufacturing is an expanding part of SEMICON West and the co-located Intersolar North America exposition and conference. This year, Intersolar has nearly tripled in size, making it the fastest-growing business-to-business solar event in North America.
SEMI, San Jose -- PV Society, 6/11/2009
Growing interest in photovoltaic manufacturing is evident in the expansion of PV-related exhibits and content at SEMICON West and the co-located Intersolar North America exposition and conference. This year, Intersolar has nearly tripled in size, making it the fastest-growing business-to-business solar event in North America. Including exhibitors at SEMICON West featuring PV manufacturing technologies, visitors focused on PV will find hundreds of exhibits and more than a dozen technical and business programs highlighting the latest developments in PV.

SEMICON and Intersolar: What's the difference?
With PV-related technologies on display in both events, one question commonly asked is: What's the difference between SEMICON West and Intersolar North America?
SEMICON West remains focused on manufacturing technologies and services for microelectronics and related technologies, including semiconductors, MEMS, printed electronics, solid-state lighting and nanoelectronics, as well as photovoltaics. With a growing number of companies expanding their reach into new markets, including solar, SEMICON West is the venue for exhibitors and events that reach multiple industries. More than 100 SEMICON West exhibitors will showcase technologies for PV.
Intersolar North America is more broadly focused on the entire solar energy supply chain, including solar thermal, balance of systems, building and architectural services, as well as photovoltaic cell and module makers and suppliers.
Visitors specifically seeking PV manufacturing technologies will find products and solutions for PV at both SEMICON West and Intersolar North America.
