SEMICON Japan Standard Awards

By Hirofumi Kanno, SEMI Japan

The SEMI International Standards Program is operated in all major electronics manufacturing regions including 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 awards ceremony was held at the SEMI Standard Friendship Party & Awards Ceremony at SEMICON Japan 2022.
