A fabless semiconductor has to typically raise > $50M with a development and time to volume cycle that lasts 3-4 years or more. Has this changed in the light of current advances in technology?</p> <p>Founders of semiconductor startups often come from an engineering background. What business challenges do these founders face?</p> <p>Our panel, constituted of Steve Sharp, Chairman Triquint & past CEO of Triquint Semiconductor, Howard Bubb, CEO Ambric & Manpreet Khaira, CEO Avnera will address these and other important issues related to the viability of the fabless semiconductor startups in the new millennium.</p> <p>The panel will be moderated by Scott Keeney, CEO & Co-founder nLight, a manufacturer of semiconductor lasers</p> <p>Register online at <a href="http://www.oregon.tie.org">www.oregon.tie.org</a> Online Registration: Members: $15; Non-Members: $25 Walkin registration is $5 more for both Members & Non-Members.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.oregon.tie.org ">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
