Many were entered, but only 20 were chosen. The coveted Editors' Choice Best Product Award, a contest hosted annually by the Semiconductor International editorial staff, was bestowed upon 19 companies with products that best reflect the level of excellence needed in our industry today. By answering questions such as how the product has advanced state-of-the-art in wafer processing, chip assembly and packaging or device/circuit testing and how the product helps create a safer workplace, and describing the advantages and disadvantages of the product, the editors were able to narrow down the entries to focus on those deemed worthy of an award. Supplied confidential customer feedback was then added into the judging equation, and final decisions were made as to who would be awarded this honor for 2006.
