Materials Innovation in the AI Era: Powering Semiconductors to One Trillion Dollars and Beyond
Beyond the AI boom lies a challenge—and opportunity—that is far more foundational: ensuring the materials ecosystem underpinning a $2.5 trillion industry is resilient enough to support the next era of innovation. As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for advanced hardware, energy infrastructure, and high‑performance components, the pressure on global materials supply chains has never been greater.
This year, SMC explores how industries can achieve scale readiness through smarter design, diversified sourcing, sustainable processes, and breakthrough materials science. It invites leaders to look past the excitement of AI itself and toward the essential building blocks that will determine whether this technological revolution is secure and sustainable.

SEMI and McKinsey & Company surveyed 200+ equipment suppliers, materials suppliers, device manufacturers, OEMs, and service providers to benchmark the health of the semiconductor supply chain. The rebound is broad: 88% of suppliers expect revenue growth over the next 12 months. But beneath it, the chain has split. Leading-edge capacity is stretched to the limit while downstream inventories pile up, lead times are running 27% above historical norms, and AI ambitions are outpacing the skills to deliver them.
Join SEMI and McKinsey experts to learn:
Where capacity, lead times, and inventory will be tightest heading into 2027
How peers are using long-term agreements to secure supply
How to close the AI execution gap
Why shared intelligence has become the industry’s scarcest input

Rapid advances in electronics, sensors, computation, wireless systems, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology are creating a new generation of medical solutions that interact directly with the body’s electrical and physiological control systems. Collectively described as bioelectronic medicine, these technologies offer the potential to complement—and in some applications overcome important limitations of—traditional pharmaceutical approaches by providing interventions that can be spatially targeted, dynamically adjusted, continuously monitored, and personalized to an individual patient’s physiology.
This Master Class will provide a broad introduction to the rapidly evolving field of bioelectronic medicine from the perspective of electrical and computer engineering. It will examine how technologies familiar to engineers—including low-noise sensing, embedded computing, signal processing, machine learning, wireless communications, miniaturized stimulation electronics, wearable devices, and closed-loop control—are being translated into new diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Examples will range from cardiac pacemakers and cochlear implants to deep-brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, transcranial stimulation, peripheral nerve interfaces, and digital biomarkers. Particular attention will be given to the transition from open-loop stimulation toward sensor-guided, closed-loop bioelectronic medicine, in which physiological measurements provide real-time feedback for optimizing stimulation parameters and tracking therapeutic responses. The Master Class will also explore why engineers are increasingly central to the future of medicine. Biological systems present unusual engineering challenges: signals are weak and noisy, anatomy and physiology vary substantially between individuals, neural systems are nonlinear and adaptive, and successful devices must operate safely at the interface between electronics and living tissue. These challenges are generating opportunities for innovation across semiconductor technology, MEMS and wearable sensors, electrode design, power management, computational modeling, AI, cybersecurity, human-machine interfaces, and systems engineering.
The Master Class will conclude with a look toward the next generation of bioelectronic medicine: intelligent therapeutic systems and digital twins capable not simply of measuring disease or delivering predetermined stimulation, but of continuously sensing physiological state, interpreting changes in biological function, and adapting interventions to promote recovery and maintain health. For electrical and computer engineers, this emerging field represents an opportunity to apply core engineering disciplines to some of the most consequential challenges in human health.

The workshop will focus on recent advances in analytical methods and instrumentation that address near-term particle metrology challenges identified in the 2024 IRDS Roadmap.
Near-Term Metrology Challenges
Challenge
Description
#5 — Slurry Particle Characterization
Insufficient metrology capability and other impurity monitoring.
Need reliable LPC metrology that can measure targeted particle sizes and concentrations that ignore MPS sizes and do not require sample dilution to obtain the measurement.
#9 — Post-CMP (pCMP) Cleans Particles
Some pCMP cleans have volatile or highly reactive ingredients that form bubbles, requiring new metrology to differentiate bubbles from real particles. Cleans containing surfactants form micelle particles that must be distinguished from foreign particles.
#16 — Particle Precursor Metrology < 10nm
Need better understanding of particle precursors and critical concentrations to form particles, and the relationship between species/concentration and particle size.

Learn how Intel is using agentic AI-supported workflows in Seeq to transform maintenance operations across its global semiconductor manufacturing footprint. With thousands of critical assets across multiple sites, Intel is projecting 30% faster anomaly detection in ultrapure water systems, a 15-20% reduction in technician workload through autonomous work order generation, and more than 120,000 labor hours saved annually.
These results are powered by a shift from time-based and alarm-driven maintenance to condition-based operations. Intel leverages Seeq to continuously monitor asset health, detect abnormal conditions earlier, forecast maintenance needs, generate work orders, and provide engineers with actionable context. By codifying the expertise of its global engineering and operations teams into scalable workflows, Intel is extending institutional knowledge across facilities, improving consistency, and accelerating action. With human oversight built into every step, Intel is on a practical, governed journey toward semi-autonomous maintenance operations.
This session will explore real-world applications in ultrapure water and compressor maintenance and share practical lessons for implementing agentic AI at scale, including governance, repeatability, and scaling AI-driven reliability programs across a global manufacturing enterprise.

High-temperature materials are critical for applications in harsh-environment circuitry, where devices must operate reliably under extreme thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. In this Master Class, Dr. Shenqiang (Shen) Ren will present a high-throughput ink materials development strategy enabled by non-equilibrium processing and hybrid additive manufacturing. This approach enables rapid synthesis, combinatorial screening, and direct integration of functional materials onto diverse substrates. The resulting materials exhibit strong electrical performance, robust adhesion, and long-term stability under harsh operating conditions. This high-throughput framework accelerates the discovery and deployment of printable materials for interconnects, heaters, and EMI shielding, providing a versatile pathway toward next-generation printed electronics designed for extreme environments.
