U.S. Semiconductor Industry Incentive Proposals

The CHIPS Act and FABS Act propose significant new incentives for semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. Both have advanced in Congress, but the legislative process remains unfinished while other countries are pursuing and implementing additional incentives. These incentives are essential to put the U.S. on a strong footing to compete for the next wave of new semiconductor manufacturing capacity, strengthen the supply chain in the U.S. and address shortages that have impacted countless downstream industries. It is also clear that the microelectronics industry doesn't only have a supply chain problem, but a significant workforce shortfall.  Diversifying and growing the talent pipeline will be critical to meet the growing demands of the industry.

Join leaders in Congress and industry experts to discuss:

• CHIPS Act funding – where it stands and what it means for industry  
• The FABS Act and federal tax incentives for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing
• Supply Chain Challenges & Opportunities
• Critical need and initiatives for diversifying and building a robust workforce

Join us for this second webinar in the MSIG series on foundries, dicing, and packaging considerations in MEMS fabrication. 

In this session, GDSI will provide an introduction of the Stealth Dicing process, highlight the applications it is most well suited to, and share design rules and process window specifications.

The Stealth laser dicing process is a water-free, particle-free wafer singulation method.  It is particularly well suited to MEMS, Quantum, bio-sensing and Silicon Photonics to name a few use cases. Secondarily, it offers great value for multi-project wafer (MPW) applications since it allows singulation of the whole wafer in a single process step, negating the need for wafer sub-dicing and remounting.

Find out if your current wafer layout is compatible with the Stealth Dicing process, and if not, what must be done to ensure initial success with this innovative dicing technology. .

Workforce Shortage—Meeting Challenges for the Semiconductor Industry

As demand for semiconductors is increasing, foundries and other makers of chips are expanding their manufacturing capacities.  With new fabs that will bring thousands of new jobs to the US, Arizona and Texas are poised to gain many of those positions. Where will we find the talent to fill the upcoming surge of engineering and technical personnel needed to support our existing infrastructure, but also support the new fabs coming in just two-four years?  ​

The SEMI Arizona and Texas Chapters will explore this topic by hearing from Arizona and Texas-based leadership on the current market conditions, trends and outlook.  We will also hear from the semiconductor industry, experts from industry, universities/colleges and military who will provide insight into preparing a new workforce to meet our current workforce needs and needs of our not-to-distant future. ​
