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. 

Ways to Participate

  • Exhibit
  • Sponsor
  • Speak
  • Attend

PFAS is prevalent in our world and very much in our current conversation. But what is it? (or more correctly, what are they?), why are they under great scrutiny? are they all hazardous? and how would the semiconductor industry be impacted by their removal? With so much at stake, it is imperative that we have clarity in the discussion to ensure we successfully address this issue.

This webinar will address the what, why, and how of PFAS in the semiconductor industry. Laurie Beu, noted semiconductor EHS consultant and leader of SIA’s Semiconductor PFAS Consortium, will provide an overview of PFAS materials, concerns about health effects, and the current state of regulatory response. Laurie’s talk will be followed by Ralph Dammel, Technology Fellow at EMD Electronics, who will provide insights from a materials manufacturer’s perspective on the use of PFAS in the multiple markets addressed by EMD. He will discuss the importance of PFAS in lithography chemicals, the impact of potential new regulations, and options to reduce or eliminate the use of PFAS in semiconductor applications.

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
