MILPITAS, Calif. — May 24, 2022 — SEMI, the global industry association that unites the entire electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, today announced that technology industry veteran and longtime SEMI member Joe Stockunas has joined SEMI as Americas President, reporting to Kevin Bauer, Chief Financial and Business Operations Officer.
Stockunas will lead the SEMI Americas staff in increasing the value SEMI delivers to members, directing North America sales and services, and driving events and programs. He will also advocate for the microelectronics industry as part of the SEMI Global Leadership Team.
“We’re thrilled to welcome stalwart SEMI supporter Joe Stockunas to the organization and look forward to his leadership in advancing the interests of our member companies in the Americas,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “Joe’s passion for the semiconductor industry will be a tremendous asset to SEMI as he works to help our members grow their businesses and seize new partnership and innovation opportunities.”
“SEMI’s work to connect the global semiconductor ecosystem to the broader electronics supply chain is critical in driving digital transformation and addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges,” Stockunas said. “I’m eager to collaborate with the SEMI leadership team, staff and members to help the organization and the industry fulfill their extraordinary potential. I look forward to meeting with members and key industry stakeholders at SEMICON West this July.”
Stockunas and SEMI Americas will host SEMICON West Hybrid, North America’s premier microelectronics exhibition and conference, July 11-14, 2022, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Registration is open.
Stockunas replaces former SEMI Americas Regional President David Anderson, who is now president of NY CREATES, a research and economic development non-profit in New York state that performs advanced research in a number of technical areas.
Before joining SEMI, Stockunas served as executive vice president and corporate officer of Nordson Corporation, a leading global precision technology supplier, overseeing the company’s worldwide electronics systems business. Prior to Nordson, Stockunas worked at Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. for more than 30 years and held leadership positions in the materials and equipment business units of its Electronics Division.
Stockunas previously served on the SEMI North America Advisory Board, SEMI Board of Industry Leaders, the Nordson Corporate Foundation and SEMI Foundation boards. He also served on global and non-profit boards of organizations including Showa Denko K.K., Kawasaki, The Bethlehem Historic Partnership, Hanyang Technologies, TriMEGA Electronics LLC, and the American Red Cross.
Stockunas received a B.S. in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering and completed his graduate studies at Lehigh University.

“We look forward to bringing together industry leaders for their perspectives on near-term 3D roadmaps and how the semiconductor industry can enable innovation for emerging applications,” said Laith Altimime, president of SEMI Europe. “Their insights promise to help the semiconductor industry address new technology challenges and requirements across the entire supply chain.”
The roadmap will build upon the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) and Heterogeneous Integration Roadmap (HIR) by translating the HIR into a blueprint that defines requirements for rolling out the roadmap in U.S. semiconductor factories. The grant, one of the first awarded by NIST's 
Trio will report to Dr. Melissa Grupen-Shemansky, SEMI CTO and Vice President of SEMI Technology Communities.
Alan Evans, MEMS business development manager at Unisem, detailed the advantages of cavity packages and the wide variety of applications they support. Unisem joined Amkor Technology and Promex Industries at MSTC 2022 in showcasing unique designs and effective packaging techniques to meet the needs of a wide range of MEMS and sensors customers.
Drawing hundreds of attendees from across the industry, the 33rd annual ASMC features discussions on topics including the global COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on manufacturing leadership, semiconductor market trends, heterogenous integration and quantum computing. ASMC is the premier event for industry professionals to network and share insights into best practices for semiconductor manufacturing.
“This new silicon shipping milestone points to continued growth in all areas of the semiconductor market,” said Anna-Riikka Vuorikari-Antikainen, Chairman of SEMI SMG and Chief Commercial Officer at Okmetic. “Silicon wafer supply remains tight and may stay constrained with many new announced semiconductor fab investments.”
Themed Electronics in Motion, FLEX Conference 2022 will focus on equipment, processes, materials and applications driving the latest flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) technology breakthroughs. The event will also showcase innovations emerging from public-private partnerships formed by SEMI Technology Communities
