SEMICON Japan Standards Awards
By Keigo Nakajima, SEMI Japan
The SEMI International Standards Program is operated in all major electronics manufacturing regions including the Americas, Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China to increase the manufacturing efficiency and interoperability. Over 5,000 volunteers representing over 2,000 companies work in 21 global technical committees and over 200 task forces to find solutions to common technology challenges.
The SEMI Japan Standard Award is given to an individual or group that has made significant contributions to the Standards activities in Japan.
For this year, the award announcement took place at the SEMI Standards Pavilion at SEMICON Japan 2021 Hybrid, the world's leading international exhibition on the microelectronics manufacturing supply chain, located at Tokyo Bigsite on December 15-17, 2021.
Following awards were given to individual members, who was recommended by the SEMI Standard Japan Regional Technical Committee Co-chairs.
