Glossary

1

Wafer

A thin disc of semiconductor material, usually silicon, on which many chips are built at once before being cut apart; wafer handling and inspection equipment is a core exhibit category at SEMICON Korea.

2

Fab

Short for fabrication plant, the factory where wafers are processed into chips under cleanroom conditions; fab operators and their equipment suppliers are the main buying audience at the show.

3

Foundry

A contract chipmaker that manufactures designs for other companies rather than selling its own branded chips; foundry capacity and process roadmaps drive much of the supplier discussion on the show floor.

4

EUV lithography

Extreme ultraviolet lithography, the patterning technology used to print the smallest chip features; EUV tools and the materials and metrology around them anchor the advanced-node side of the exhibition.

5

OSAT

Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test, the back-end companies that package and test finished chips; OSAT firms and their packaging, bonding and inspection suppliers exhibit in the assembly and test halls.

6

EDA

Electronic Design Automation, the software used to design and verify chips before manufacturing; EDA vendors show design, simulation and sign-off tools for fabless and integrated device makers.

7

HBM

High Bandwidth Memory, a stacked memory type used with AI and high-performance processors; HBM packaging and test capacity is one of the fastest-moving sourcing topics at recent semiconductor shows.

8

Cleanroom

A controlled production area with tightly managed particle, temperature and humidity levels; much of the equipment on display is specified for cleanroom installation inside fabs.

9

Shell scheme

A pre-built modular stand package from the organiser that typically includes walls, carpet, fascia board, lighting and a power socket; exhibitors who do not build a custom booth book this option.

10

Pavilion

A grouped exhibition area, often organised by country, region or technology theme, where several companies exhibit together; pavilions are useful for visitors sourcing a specific supply region in one walk.

11

B2B matchmaking

A scheduling service that pairs exhibitors with pre-qualified buyers for timed meetings during the show; registering early usually gives access to more meeting slots.
