Short description

Leveraging Nanotech-Enabled Applications and Advanced Materials for Business and Investment Opportunities

Long description

This forum brings together the leaders who are building, leveraging, and financing the global economy’s nanotech-enabled applications and advanced materials. Seven years ago, the IBF Nanotech Forum pioneered bringing together investors, corporations, star researchers and business professionals to focus on commercialization, business and core investment opportunities. Over the years, IBF's Nanotech Forum has become renowned for its unsurpassed networking and relationship-building opportunities.

Industrial Verticals:
For our 2008 forum, the event has been carefully structured to focus on how nanotech and advanced materials are being leveraged as enabling technologies in five leading industry verticals:

*Advanced Materials *Semiconductors *Electronics
*Clean Energy *Life Sciences

These industrial categories were voted by IBF’s Board of Directors and past attendees as being the leading industry verticals for which nanotechnology and advanced materials are the enabling technologies, resulting in companies and deals attractive to investors.
You will hear from those capitalizing on next-generation trends in nanotechnology and advanced materials. The sessions will feature in-depth, content-rich discussions– hearing from those who exemplify best practices in innovation, funding, business strategies, and corporate integration.

Nano-Corporate Partnering Showcase: Selected early-stage companies seeking corporate partners will present. Presentations will be moderated & critiqued by panel of industry experts and venture capitalists. Candidate submissions are being accepted at this time.

This conference will enable you to:
• Determine the best nanotech and advanced materials opportunities and develop your strategies
• Understand how nano-enabled technologies & advanced materials are poised to make a dramatic impact on commercial applications
• Hear from and share ideas with the dealmakers and corporate leaders in nanotechnology & advanced materials.

Audience profile:
This conference unites venture capitalists, private equity investors, corporate investors, institutional investors, technology transfer experts, licensing executives, new business development executives, university, government and corporate research scientists, emerging growth nanotechnology companies, government funding agencies and corporations integrating nano-enabled technologies.

These products are commercially available:

* BEAMETR is a technique for operator independent measurement of electron-beam size. The product includes fabricated nano-pattern and software. The operator scans the pattern; the software reads the image and automatically determines the beam size.
* CHARIOT: advanced Monte Carlo software to predict image formation in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and e-beam defect inspection. It also predicts absorbed dose in EBL and other electron beam technologies.
* TRAVIT: software to simulate plasma etch and wet etch. This is the only software on dry etch in maskmaking; it can also be applied to wafer etch. The software simulates etch profile, CDs, and CD-variation for patterns and processes, including microloading effect.
* TEMPTATION (Temperature Simulation) software: temperature rise in electron beam lithography (EBL) and its influence on variation of critical dimensions (CD).
* GenISys data preparation and modeling software allows for fast layout viewing, access, and processing of layout data. It was designed for easy integration with inspection equipment and DFM software.
* XeDraw and XPG-2 (XENOS) pattern generators: Convert your SEM into a nanolithography tool! Get a speed of writing up to 50 MHz. The hardware comes with data preparation software and may include a beam blanker and a precision stage.

Akustica holds the exclusive license to these patents and continues to independently develop additional technologies supporting the company's mission to create and commercialize a new generation of sound solutions.

Akustica's acoustic System-on-Chip solutions - called Microphone Chips and Speaker Chips - combine the functionality of MEMS microphones or speakers with software and microelectronics onto a single, standard CMOS semiconductor chip. Unlike other MEMS chips that are fabricated using captive, costly and cumbersome manufacturing processes, the starting point for the manufacture of Akustica's chips are standard CMOS wafers which can be produced at any standard CMOS foundry.
