Talk:SEMATECH

Why Texas or Austin
SEMATECH seems to in Albany, NY. Why is there Austin and Texas here? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.27.167 (talk) 14:12, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Because we list the location of the organization's headquarters and not branch offices. Austin was selected for SEMATECH's location when the consortium was founded, and is still listed as by SEMATECH as being their official headquarters.  Albany is only the location of SEMATECH-North. --Allen3 talk 14:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, Albany was merely an add-on to Sematech's activities in the 2000s, Austin is still the headquarters. But it appears that semi-professionals if not outright amateurs are promoting "quasi-knowledge" and Albany." Stevenmitchell (talk) 10:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

It seems a little odd that Austin is only mentioned once briefly in the article, since Sematech played a fairly pivotal role in catalyzing Austin's rise as a center of high-tech stuff... AnonMoos (talk) 16:13, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: not moved. It is an acronym, so might be SEMATECH, SeMaTech, or Sematech in WP Style. Google NGrams shows a preference for lowercase until 2004, for allcaps since then. A commercial news search also shows about 600 hits for SEMATECH in the last year vs. 164 for the downcased version. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:28, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

SEMATECH → Sematech – per WP:MOSCAPS. Trivialist (talk) 03:09, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment it is an acronym. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 03:39, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If this as the article claims is an acromyn of semiconductor manufacturing technology should't the acronym be SeMaTech not SEMATECH.--174.93.169.157 (talk) 05:25, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Why? Where does it state that the rules of acronymization requires camelcasing? Look at RADAR (originally an acronym, now a word), it was originally allcaps, and it meant RAdio Detection And Ranging, and was not spelt RaDAR. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 03:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose; valid acronym. It's not just stylistic.  Powers T 01:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support, per Naming conventions (capitalization), MOS:TM, and WP:ALLCAPS. If the name is an acronym, it should be expanded and the article listed by the full name, per WP:TITLEFORMAT. ENeville (talk) 17:42, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * NATO and NASA would disagree with that interpretation. Powers T 19:04, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
