a memory market rebound will help spark a global semiconductor industry recovery poised to take hold in the second half of 2023 after the downturn that came on the heels of the pandemic boom, SEMI and major market research firms projected at Strategic Materials Conference (SMC) Korea 2023.

SEMI continues to establish new programs to address these four critical industry issues in Taiwan and support worldwide semiconductor industry growth and innovation.

This year’s SEMICON West features a slew of new features that span keynote and conference programming, networking opportunities and even dining options.

The startups program is part of the SEMI Sustainability Initiative, which brings together members from across the semiconductor value chain to find solutions to common sustainability issues and share best practices.

With the March 13 submission deadline for applying to the SEMI Startups for Sustainability program fast approaching, SEMI encourages all startups, academics, and innovators with compelling ideas for advancing semiconductor industry sustainability to join this year’s program.

In the podcast with host Francoise von Trapp of 3D InCites, James Amano, Senior Director of EHS and Sustainability at SEMI, sheds light on the Startups for Semiconductor Sustainability program. The podcast episode is the first of three in a series.

SEMICON Europa 2022 (Munich, 15-17 November) attendees gathered at the Executive Forum for the Opening Ceremony on day one to hear from industry leaders and gain insights into the latest market and technology trends.

The Semiconductor Sustainability Summit at SEMICON Taiwan in September focused on three themes - Green Innovation of Zero Waste, Carbon Reduction, and Sustainable Innovation in Semiconductor Manufacturing - as the semiconductor industry drives toward net-zero carbon emissions.

The Honorable Al Gore delivered inspiring opening remarks at the Nov. 10 session, congratulating the SCC for forming, setting its ambition, and committing to collaboration, transparency and ambition.

SEMI formed the Sustainability Advisory Council (SAC), introduced at the Sustainability Summit at SEMICON West 2022 Hybrid in July. The group consists of more than 35 semiconductor industry companies that are collaborating to organize a net zero strategy to decarbonize in the industry.
