Quantum computers allow certain problems to be solved exponentially faster than on any classical machine. Recent advances in the construction of small quantum processors have shown that there are no fundamental roadblocks to realizing this technology; however, significant challenges remain in scaling up devices to the millions of qubits that are required to build useful quantum machines.
In this webinar, Dr. Guilhem Ribeill will discuss how techniques borrowed from semiconductor fabrication have allowed superconducting qubits, one of the leading quantum platforms, to increase their quality by several orders of magnitude over the last two decades. He will also discuss outstanding problems in the fabrication, packaging, and control of superconducting quantum computers, and the future of the technology.

How to Thrive and Accelerate Your Growth in the Semiconductor Industry
As we celebrate 10 years of Women in Semiconductor, this milestone event invites you to reflect on the progress made while boldly charting your path forward. In an industry where women remain underrepresented, success requires both strategic navigation and authentic leadership.
Through dynamic sessions, we will explore how to intentionally shape a career defined by influence and impact—on your own terms. Together, we’ll examine the realities of navigating a male-dominated industry and share practical strategies to build influence, expand opportunities, and lead with confidence.
At the core of this experience is the development of your personal leadership toolbox—a curated set of skills, relationships, insights, and decision-making frameworks designed to accelerate your growth. You’ll learn how to cultivate meaningful allyship, strengthen the competencies that set you apart, and proactively create opportunities rather than waiting for them.
Join us for this special anniversary as we celebrate a decade of progress and issue a call to action for the future. You’ll leave with practical resources, empowering insights, and a renewed sense of purpose—equipped to thrive authentically and shape the future of the semiconductor industry with confidence and clarity.
Who attends WiS? Company leaders, managers, team members, HR professionals, academia and students. We encourage attendance by everyone who is interested in building a stronger, more dynamic semiconductor ecosystem, and by anyone who is responsible for developing internal or external programs to support women.
"Attending the Women in Semiconductor Conference was an incredibly empowering experience. There is something uniquely impactful about coming together with other women who understand the challenges and opportunities of our industry. The conference created space for honest conversations, meaningful networking, and a sense of community. It is a reminder that we are not alone, and that together, we can drive change and support one another in powerful ways." (WiS 2025 attendee)
Please stay tuned for additional programs in 2026. We look forward to your participation.
To receive information about Women in Semiconductors events, make sure to complete our interest form.
The solicitation is issued by SEMI, a trade association representing the microelectronics manufacturing industry and conducted and co-managed by the FlexTech Group and the MEMS & Sensors Industry Group (MSIG) as incorporated strategic associated partners of SEMI. Funds distributed by SEMI are provided by the U.S. Government through the Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) of the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) for the purpose to advance positioning, navigation and timing solutions (PNT) technology.
In this webinar, we will review the focused solicitation, walk through the proposal process and answer any questions and provide guidance for the proposal preparation. If you have questions you would like answered privately following the webinar, please enter them in the question box during the webinar with [Exclusive Request] at the beginning of your question.
Topics in this 2020 solicitation are:
A. Low-Cost Approaches to High-Performance, Battery-Powered Timing
B. Novel Materials, Fabrication, and Packaging for Low-SWaP-C Inertial and PNT Sensors
C. Advanced Lasers and Integrated Photonics for Low-SWaP-C Atomic Clocks and PNT Sensors
D. Advancements for Low-SWaP-C, GPS-Free PNT Solutions
The term “smart infrastructure” encompasses a variety of different technologies to improve roadway safety, reduce congestion and cut emissions. The impending introduction of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) is an important factor for governments to consider when planning investment in new infrastructure. Several technologies are being introduced into roadway construction with the goal of delivering increased connectivity, efficiency, and safety for drivers and local residents. Intelligent systems are possible only with high-quality data. One sensor example is advanced video detection cameras with camera-based (edge) analytics bringing intelligence to our infrastructure, while at the same time reducing system complexity and costs.
The Webinar will discuss the benefits of camera-based (edge) analytics with embedded security, and how video-based detection brings intelligence to highway and urban infrastructure, including traffic management, thereby increasing safety, efficiency, and overall quality of life.
