ISSM is an annual conference of semiconductor manufacturing professionals dedicated to sharing technical solutions and opinions on the advancement of manufacturing science, technologies, and management disciplines. This symposium has been held in Japan and in the U.S. on alternate years since 1992. ISSM aims to establish new concepts for semiconductor manufacturing technologies and to promote them as systemized and universalized technologies. ISSM’s role has been to challenge the concept of shifting from "know-how" to "science" in semiconductor manufacturing technologies. Past symposia have helped to shape the course of development of "manufacturing science," as well as to create new manufacturing technologies.

The Symposium is held under the joint sponsorship of the Society of Applied Physics of Japan, the IEEE Electron Devices Society, and Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). ISSM, with its global range, continuously pushes technological development in order to promote the discovery and utilization of innovative technologies.

ISSM's mission is to achieve the continued prosperity of the semiconductor industry by bringing about breakthroughs in semiconductor manufacturing technologies through networking between engineers in research and development fields and their counterparts in the manufacturing field.
