United States SEMI Standards PV and PV Materials China Joint TC Chapter Spring Meeting 2020 Business Technical Featured Speakers

This course, originally recorded on August 18, 2020, describes how machine learning and AI-based approaches to research, development, and production brings advantages to cleanroom processes.  AI-based identification of time-varying equipment performance, and the effects of the previous recipe used on the outcome of the current desired methods, are just some of the ways AI can be used to reduce the process variability.

Cornell University has applied AI approaches to optimize lithography and etching processes involved in the development of an RF wake-up NEMS (Nano ElectroMechnical system) switch that needs a well-controlled gap between a moving shuttle and a contact. This presentation highlights that, as well as a decision tree based AI model for predicting lithography outcomes.

The AI work used as the basis for the course has been applied to plasma etching and the combined prediction of lithography and thin-film etching, using CD-SEM imagery for feature extraction and modeling process variables. Additional approaches to train process-modeling CAD tools to result in better process development experience have been developed.

The course provides a useful basis upon which to formulate AI strategies for all thin film manufacturing sites.

Sensorization will enable next generation of transportation: Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) vehicles.  Join McKinsey & Company and SEMI Smart Mobility for this webinar detailing the opportunities for sensors in vehicles and smart infrastructure.

McKinsey & Company have identified several major disruptions that will impact the mobility sector.  For example, the automotive sensor market for light vehicles is expected to grow from around $30 billion to $60+ billion by 2030 (Mapping the Automotive Software and Electronics Landscape through 2030, McKinsey.com, July 2019). While current cars with L1 automation (and internal combustion engine) have around $300 worth of sensors, a purpose-built robo-taxi (BEV) in 2030 will have around $2,000 worth of sensors. An increase in the adoption of cameras, radars, and LiDARs contributes to large per vehicle sensor value and enables the data collection necessary for advanced features. Additionally, the sensor market related to smart roads/infrastructure is also growing rapidly and creating opportunities for sensor manufacturers and related players.

The MSIG community is a critical partner in contributing to SEMI's Smart Mobility initiative to connect and synchronize the automotive/mobility and semiconductor/sensor supply chains around issues that matter to both. By creating collaborative platforms and bringing communities together, Smart Mobility will streamline the transition to highly-sensorized ACES vehicles and provide business opportunities to MSIG members. One such community is the SEMI’s Global Automotive Advisory Council (GAAC) where auto manufacturers and suppliers meet to address common challenges, share information and align priorities.

This webinar will provide details on market projections, GAAC activities, Smart Mobility initiates, and provide examples of how MSIG members should participate.  Together, MSIG and Smart Mobility can help the Transportation Evolution.
