The winners of the 2002 Ad- vanced Packaging Awards were announced at a special reception during the first evening of SEMICON West in July. A standing-room- only crowd of more than 200 - noticeably more than at last year's inaugural event - were the first in the industry to learn which company's products most impressed Advanced Packaging's panel of independent judges. Stan Meyers, SEMI's president and CEO, kicked off the event with his thoughts on the importance of innovation in the packaging industry.

The program, launched by Advanced Packaging Magazine last year and co-sponsored by SEMICON West, was held in the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose on July 17. Advanced Packaging assembled a group of 13 prominent figures from industry and academia to evaluate the relative merits of 82 products submitted in 14 categories. The criteria included innovation, cost-effectiveness and throughput among others, and products had to be introduced between April 1, 2001 and March 31, 2002 to be eligible for an award.

Advanced Packaging's Publisher John Bubello and Editor-in-Chief Jeff Demmin announced the winners to the crowded room of party-goers, and several awards were being displayed proudly on the show floor the following day. Advanced Packaging congratulates and thanks all winners and participants in the 2002 Advanced Packaging Awards program and recognizes each participant's part in keeping this constantly changing industry at the forefront of excellence.

Information about the 2003 Ad vanced Packaging Awards will be posted at www.apmag.com when it is available.
