The discussion will help attendees understand why and how governments implement trade controls, what “exports” are and how they take place in different business contexts, and common due diligence methods – such as customer screening – that United States companies use to incorporate regulatory compliance into their business processes. Finally, the discussion will address recent regulatory updates which address current issues such as US-China trade relations and the anticipated effects of those regulations on the US semiconductor design ecosystem.
Following the presentations we will address questions from attendees as time permits.

EMG Webinar Next Chapter in Moores Law Shift to Gate All Around Transistors
Moore’s Law continues to evolve - dramatically changing the Field Effect Transistor (FET). As FinFETs reach their performance limits, attention is turning to Gate All Around (GAA) architectures based on Horizontal Nanosheet technology. Such a fundamental shift in transistor architecture will create new challenges to processes and materials, presenting opportunities for companies well-positioned for this shift.
In this webinar, SEMI EMG brings experts to explain the technology trends driving the industry adoption of Gate All Around, how the major players are approaching this transition, and the implications this will have on the material supply chain
Gate All Around Transistors - Opportunities Abound
Position yourself for the next chapter of Moore's Law
