“Virtual platform environments that combine the verification capabilities of emulation with the pre-silicon functionality insights available through verification intellectual property (VIP) are an increasingly popular way to get designs verified ahead of the curve of new standards,” Browy says.

Semiconductor device manufacturers are focusing on new sensing technologies that can increase wafer throughput, reduce downtime, boost yields and drive other production efficiencies by collecting data that provides insights not previously identified.

Companies in the global microelectronics design and manufacturing supply chain are enabling digital transformation and its countless societal and economic benefits. Yet, microelectronics players are generally playing catch-up with B2C companies when it comes to digitizing operations and marketing.

Podcasting is growing in usage in the semiconductor industry as a way to deliver content, and SEMI is always looking for new opportunities to connect to its members. That’s why for SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid, we’ve partnered with 3D InCites to create the official SEMICON West Podcast Series.

Dr. Lanza, Managing Partner of Lanza techVentures and 2014 winner of the Phil Kaufman Award for Distinguished Contributions to Electronic System Design, addresses why he believes semiconductors in MedTech is about to become the next big thing.

SEMICON Europa, SEMICON West, SEMICON Japan, & SEMICON Taiwan welcome back exhibitors and visitors to show floors starting in mid-November as four of SEMI’s seven flagship events gather visionaries and industry leaders to explore the latest semiconductor trends and innovations by the end of 2021.

As the microelectronics industry looks to fill job vacancies, and as we approach Veterans Day, it’s important to turn our attention to the many contributions of veterans and why hiring them is both the right thing to do and a sound business strategy.

Considering the history of computing and the low expectations for women that were once widespread in academia and the workplace, little wonder that women continue to face significant hurdles in the microelectronics industry. Today, women make up less than 25% of the computing workforce.

What is analog computing and what do engineers need to know about it so they can make sound decisions during product development to differentiate their battery-operated always-on devices?

At July's SEMI Standards Information & Control North America Technical Committee Chapter Meeting, several ballots passed procedural review and await publication. Among them are the Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA) Standards, which use the Freeze concept to identify a specific set of SEMI Standards.
