The semiconductor industry is expected to reach US$1 trillion by the end of the decade. The next big technology revolutions (AI, 5G/6G, VR/AR, qubit computing, and more) are driving the need to manage exponential amounts of data. Everything from cars to coffee machines are generating data that needs to be moved, stored, computed, secured, and converted to end-user information. To make this a vision a reality requires innovation throughout the semiconductor industry, from new materials to new and improved process equipment to new device architectures designed to perform at speeds and densities once thought unachievable. In this webinar, we will hear from industry experts on what the 10-year technology trends look like and how semiconductor material and equipment suppliers are responding to the trends.
Dr. Todd Younkin, President and CEO of Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) will discuss the evolving challenges and five “seismic shifts” that are driving advancement in the semiconductor industry.
Following Dr. Younkin’s talk, David Medeiros, Senior Director, CTO Office of Entegris, Inc. will address these challenges and describe how Entegris is driving materials innovation to overcome the obstacles faced by chip manufacturers.
