Day 1 | Innovation Forum 


Hear the latest advances from FlexTech and NBMC alongside technical presentations from researchers and technology leaders developing tomorrow's semiconductor innovations.

Day 2 | Technical Gap Analysis 


Participate in collaborative breakout sessions that examine technology gaps, explore roadmaps, and help shape future FlexTech and NBMC research priorities. Your expertise will directly contribute to discussions that influence future Request for Proposal (RFP) directions.

Day 3 | AI for Metrology Workshop 

 

This workshop brings together industry, academia, and standards leaders to explore how AI can connect metrology, failure analysis, and test data across the semiconductor supply chain. As chiplets, heterogeneous integration, and advanced packaging drive complexity, AI-assisted defect localization and root-cause analysis backed by non-destructive modalities and targeted physical characterization are becoming essential to closing the loop from electrical failure back to physical origin.

Heterogeneous Integration (HI) has come a long way in 50 years. The world of multi-chip modules (MCMs) has given way to a vast ecosystem of chiplets, 3D stacked die, and co-packaging of antenna, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and optics. HI is at the center of “More than Moore” development activities, as innovative engineers look for creative ways to overcome the slower scaling of silicon technology. The promise of HI is new devices with superior power, performance, area, and cost (PPAC). All these promises come with new challenges. Managing different process nodes, physical characteristics, mechanical stresses, and other system-level challenges not found in monolithic system-on-chip (SoC) devices, creates a great opportunity for design and manufacturing companies to reshape our industry. 

 

In this webinar, we’ll explore this enabling technology from both the device maker and material supplier perspectives. We will learn about demands placed on devices by new applications and what new tools are needed to meet these demands. We will also hear about the challenges placed on materials and equipment suppliers to develop processes capable of manufacturing the individual components and integrating them into final products. Join us as our panel of experts address the issues and opportunities involved with heterogeneous integration.

Enabling Heterogeneous Integration through Material Design

The realization of Heterogeneous Integration (HI) has been key in driving advancements in semiconductor technology. The complexities of integrating dissimilar materials continue to be a challenge for HI. All advanced packaging technologies rely on advanced materials to address the many challenges in achieving continued shrinking and improved performance of devices. Novel materials capable of managing mechanical stresses and increased thermal budgets with strict cleanliness requirements are required for processes such as wafer thinning, fan-out wafer-level packaging, and hybrid bonding. This presentation will highlight how advanced materials can address the growing challenges in the industry.

INAUGURAL EVENT FOCUSED ON SMART MANUFACTURING & SMART MOBILITY

Join us for a groundbreaking Midwest conference and tradeshow on April 1-2, 2025, focused on Smart Manufacturing and Smart Mobility with an emphasis on the semiconductor industry! Automotive electronics and smart manufacturing are two of the key end markets on the path to $1T in semiconductor revenue.  

A significant amount of both markets is concentrated in the Midwestern United States. SEMIEXPO in the Heartland will bring these two key markets together and provide an opportunity for collaboration and growth.

Smart Manufacturing

  • The program will focus on the deployment of Industry 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing tools, technologies, and methods for the semiconductors required for this growing market. 

Smart Mobility

  • The program will unite stakeholders in the semiconductors/sensors and mobility ecosystems to identify and address technical issues and supply chain dynamics that are best addressed collectively.

Unlike the semiconductor ‘frontend’, the ‘backend’ has little standardization with lots of different interfaces and behaviors between different equipment suppliers.  How can we standardize it and gain the efficiencies that standards brought to the frontend?  SEMI has several standards suites that could be used depending on the customer’s needs, including SECS/GEM, EDA/Interface A and RITdb.  This webinar will describe the benefits of each, as well discuss challenges around traceability and other issues commonly encountered in the backend, and how standards can benefit the equipment users.
