GRENOBLE, France – Carlo Bozotti, president and chief executive officer of STMicroelectronics, provided a keynote address to the Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS Europe) held here by industry body SEMI, which contained a commitment to European chip making – but only just.
Rather than sounding three-cheers, Bozotti outlined European chipmaking as one leg of a three-legged manufacturing strategy at Europe's leading indigenous chip company.
