AMI Semiconductor (NASDAQ: AMIS), a leading designer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art mixed-signal and digital products for the automotive, medical, industrial and military/aerospace markets, will play a leading part in a special evening session at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco, February 3rd, 2008. The evening�s topic will be �Green Electronics: Environmental Impacts, Power and Ewaste.� Co-chairing the event will be Jan Sevenhans, for AMIS (in Vilvoorde, Belgium) and Rudolf Koch, for Infineon (in Munich, Germany). From shrinking ice packs to rising temperatures throughout the world, environmental and energy issues are getting the attention they deserve. This is especially true in the electronics industry. Electronics companies in the automotive and industrial markets are leading the transition to green technology. New standards and products are being developed to make combustion engines and hybrid cars more fuel efficient and to reduce and eliminate pollution. The next step is for the United Nations to monitor green law enforcement in industrial areas throughout the world. �Automotive and industrial applications are the green brains of industry,� said Jan Sevenhans, event organizer. �Along with Europe and the U.S., the movement is being evaluated and accepted by China, the Far East, and all major countries. The goal for green electronics is to preserve the future for all creatures for generations to come.� Each speaker will give a 10 to 15 minute presentation on a different aspect of green electronics. This will be followed by discussion with the speakers and the attending audience. Topics being addressed during the event include: Environmental Push for Green Martin Hojsik, Greenpeace International, Bratislava, Slovak Republic Green Fab and Manufacturing Duane S. Boning, MIT, Cambridge, MA Green Packaging Garry Hamming, Amkor, Arizona Green Aspects of Photovoltaic Cell processing and its Applications Robert Mertens, IMEC, Leuven, Belgium Automotive Green Electronics Marcos Laraia, AMI Semiconductor Green Hybrid Car Electronics Justin Ward, Toyota, Gardena, CA Event Details �Green Electronics: Environmental Impacts, Power and Ewaste� will take place at ISSCC on Sunday, February 3, 2008, at the San Francisco Marriott Hotel.
