In terms of statistics, ASMC 2016 featured 353 registrants (a capacity crowd), 96 technical papers, 8 invited speakers, a tutorial led by 1 brilliant MIT professor, and zero reported frowns.
Other statistics: from Saratoga Springs it’s 12 miles to GLOBALFOUNDRIES Fab 8 in Malta, NY; 35 miles to SUNY Polytechnic CNSE in Albany; 90 miles to the Marcy Nanocenter, where ams is breaking ground on their new wafer fab; 120 miles to the GLOBALFOUNDRIES / IBM site in Burlington, VT, and 130 miles to their Fishkill, NY, site. All major semiconductor capital equipment suppliers have offices in the region, and academia is well-represented by the aforementioned SUNY Polytechnic CNSE, RPI, SUNY Polytechnic Institute Marcy, and other favorites.
In other words, this part of New York State is a hotbed of semiconductor manufacturing.
