Big data, data mining, data sharing, data transparency, the entire electronics industry is built on data. From device design to the fabs, equipment, and materials that turn design into finished products, the semiconductor industry creates and consumes vast quantities of data. Inside the fab and out, throughout the supply chain, the practice of data sharing through local or offline methods seems increasingly quaint and largely insufficient. The demand for detailed, on-demand, even real-time data is pushing further and further up the supply chain. This challenges suppliers to improve data acquisition and management systems as well as analyze and share data that was once thought to be the crown jewels of intellectual property. In this webinar, you will learn about:
How the challenges for detailed, on-demand, even real-time data is being met in the fab and supply chain.
The generation and use of data in fab equipment through the usage of intelligent controls
Data requirements for advanced fab processing
How these data requirements are being communicated and addressed up the supply chain.

SEMI-FlexTech Launches Six New Projects to Accelerate Flexible Hybrid Electronics Innovation
MILPITAS, Calif. — February 3, 2020 — SEMI-FlexTech today announced the launch of six projects to accelerate sensor and sensor system innovations for new applications in industries including healthcare, automotive, industrial and defense. In collaboration with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), FlexTech, a SEMI Strategic Association Partner, will provide more than $2.3 million in funding for the projects aimed at maturing the flexible-hybrid electronics (FHE) technology ecosystem. Organizations including the University of Texas El Paso, American Semiconductor, PARC, Tekscan, Alertgy and SAFI-Tech will lead the initiatives.
“Flexible hybrid electronics give product designers new ways to use sensors to collect data and deliver actionable insights that improve how we work and live,” said Melissa Grupen-Shemansky, CTO of SEMI and Executive Director of SEMI-FlexTech. “This new round of projects epitomizes the wide range of applications enabled by innovations in flexible hybrid electronics. We expect this body of work to unearth new product roadmaps across the electronics industry.”
Projects
American Semiconductor, Inc., will develop 500 FHE ultra-thin, lightweight and configurable sensor systems with wireless capability for environmental sensing applications. ASI will partner with Boise State University, DuPont, HD Microsystems and ITN Energy Systems on the 15-month project.
The University of Texas at El Paso will optimize structural and electrical performance and develop sculpted dielectrics for FHE 3D printing. The 12-month project will generate performance data and new algorithms for smarter 3D printing. A proof-of-concept, journal article and presentation will cap the project.
Tekscan will develop a functioning sensorized glove made of a durable resin with flexible-conductive and pressure-sensitive inks. The glove advances the state of the art for FHE pressure and force measurements and analysis, critical in design evaluation for automotive, consumer, packaging, robotics and medical devices. The 18-month project includes examinations of novel substrates and materials, hardware integration strategies, and manufacturing methods.
PARC, A Xerox Company, will integrate a flexible and adaptable multi-sensor system (consisting of temperature, humidity, impact and gas sensors) with a single processor for data capture and both wireless and audio output capabilities. The system will target applications in the wearables, medical monitoring, Internet of Things (IoT), automotive and industrial markets. PARC will partner with Purdue University in this 12-month project.
Alertgy will develop a curved, flexible and lightweight wrist-mounted FHE for non-invasive glucose monitoring. The wristband will incorporate electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), a transducer and a printed battery. The device interface will enable the integration of other sensors into its multipurpose design. A demonstration of the platform will culminate the 16-month project.
will develop and demonstrate screen-printed, supercooled liquid metal particles for use in electrical interconnects at low temperatures as a replacement for electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs). Lower temperatures in electronics manufacturing can reduce heat generation, processing costs and thermal damage to components while enabling higher throughput for devices in defense, automotive, healthcare and other industries. SAFI-Tech will partner with Iowa State University on the18-month project.

Smart Data WEBINAR: Challenges and Solutions in Superconducting Qubit Fabrication
Quantum computers allow certain problems to be solved exponentially faster than on any classical machine. Recent advances in the construction of small quantum processors have shown that there are no fundamental roadblocks to realizing this technology; however, significant challenges remain in scaling up devices to the millions of qubits that are required to build useful quantum machines.
In this webinar, Dr. Guilhem Ribeill will discuss how techniques borrowed from semiconductor fabrication have allowed superconducting qubits, one of the leading quantum platforms, to increase their quality by several orders of magnitude over the last two decades. He will also discuss outstanding problems in the fabrication, packaging, and control of superconducting quantum computers, and the future of the technology.

How to Thrive and Accelerate Your Growth in the Semiconductor Industry
As we celebrate 10 years of Women in Semiconductor, this milestone event invites you to reflect on the progress made while boldly charting your path forward. In an industry where women remain underrepresented, success requires both strategic navigation and authentic leadership.
Through dynamic sessions, we will explore how to intentionally shape a career defined by influence and impact—on your own terms. Together, we’ll examine the realities of navigating a male-dominated industry and share practical strategies to build influence, expand opportunities, and lead with confidence.
At the core of this experience is the development of your personal leadership toolbox—a curated set of skills, relationships, insights, and decision-making frameworks designed to accelerate your growth. You’ll learn how to cultivate meaningful allyship, strengthen the competencies that set you apart, and proactively create opportunities rather than waiting for them.
Join us for this special anniversary as we celebrate a decade of progress and issue a call to action for the future. You’ll leave with practical resources, empowering insights, and a renewed sense of purpose—equipped to thrive authentically and shape the future of the semiconductor industry with confidence and clarity.
Who attends WiS? Company leaders, managers, team members, HR professionals, academia and students. We encourage attendance by everyone who is interested in building a stronger, more dynamic semiconductor ecosystem, and by anyone who is responsible for developing internal or external programs to support women.
"Attending the Women in Semiconductor Conference was an incredibly empowering experience. There is something uniquely impactful about coming together with other women who understand the challenges and opportunities of our industry. The conference created space for honest conversations, meaningful networking, and a sense of community. It is a reminder that we are not alone, and that together, we can drive change and support one another in powerful ways." (WiS 2025 attendee)
