SiC—Silicon Carbide Webinar #7:
SiC Planar and Trench MOSFETs: Design, Fabrication, and Key Applications
Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exploit the material’s favorable properties, which allow for highly efficient power devices with reduced form-factor and cooling requirements. Having been commercially introduced in 2011, SiC MOSFETs have gone through several generations of improvements and are currently offered in planar and trench configurations by major semiconductor chip manufacturers. This webinar will provide an impartial overview of planar/trench design and fabrication aspects, highlight their key competitive advantages, and provide an independent overview of what real-world converters require in terms of application-specific performance parameters. Exemplary applications to be discussed include aviation, servo drivers, energy storage, and traction drives.

Join us online for the seventh webinar in the Silicon Carbide Series.
9:00 am - 10:00 am Off Add to Calendar Disabled America/Los_Angeles 1With the world's growing reliance on semiconductor chips, the industry needs a more reliable solution to improve and innovate at a rapid pace while addressing manufacturing challenges such as temperature, chemistry, and mechanical issues.
One critical equipment in the industry is vacuum Pendulum Valves, a vacuum equipment incorporating plasma that are widely used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The form, fit and function of these valves pose multiple challenges for the seals required in the valve's assemblies. Greene Tweed engineers have analyzed the most commonly used pendulum valves and broken down the various sealing challenges and have also created solutions to the challenges.
Join us to learn about the 6 W's—Who, What, When, Where, Why, & How—of these pendulum valve solutions.
- Who—Anyone running a vacuum plasma chamber, etch and/or deposition
- What—The pendulum valves, specifically the seals in the valve
- Where—Every fabricator in the world
- When—Now, as there are, tens of thousands that are currently operating
- Why—The prevalent sealing challenges for pendulum valves
- How—The sealing solutions and how we develop them, and the case study behind it to show in the 'How' part as well
Join our webinar where Greene Tweed engineers will discuss the most commonly used pendulum valves, the various sealing challenges and solutions to address them.

This webinar explores how organizations can move beyond traditional automation toward adaptive and ultimately autonomous fabs—starting with the foundational design of the built environment. Focusing on greenfield projects, Siemens experts will outline how early integration of power distribution, building systems, and automation technologies enables scalable, resilient, and future-ready facilities. Attendees will learn why designing autonomy requires a holistic approach—one that connects infrastructure, process, and production through a unified technology stack. The webinar will address challenges in adapting global fab designs to U.S. markets, highlighting the need for local expertise, regulatory alignment, and lifecycle planning. It will also explore how digitalization, predictive maintenance, and connected ecosystems drive efficiency in brownfield sites. Join the webinar and discover how to design facilities ready for autonomous, high-performance fabs.
Key takeaways:
Shift from automation to autonomy starts with design
Future fabs require rethinking the built environment upfront—not just layering automation later.
Early integration is critical for scalability and resilience
Aligning power distribution, building systems, and automation from the start enables flexible, future-ready facilities.
A unified technology stack connects infrastructure to production
Achieving autonomy depends on a holistic approach that links physical infrastructure, processes, and operations end-to-end.
Localization and lifecycle planning are key for U.S. fabs
Adapting global designs requires navigating local regulations, leveraging regional expertise, and planning for long-term operations.
Digitalization drives performance across both greenfield and brownfield sites
Technologies like predictive maintenance and connected ecosystems improve efficiency and enable continuous optimization.

Playbook for Winning
Arizona’s semiconductor ecosystem is at an inflection point—poised to transform rapid growth into sustainable global leadership. This forum convenes industry executives, policymakers and innovators to define strategies for making Arizona the premier global semiconductor resource. The SEMI Arizona Breakfast Forum is where Arizona’s semiconductor current and future playbook is defined, designed to mobilize leadership towards actionable strategies helping evolve Arizona’s semiconductor industry into an international winning playbook.
Arizona’s Rapid Rise as America’s Semiconductor Headquarters has attracted major global companies, with more than 60 expansions and over $200 billion in new investments since 2020, including TSMC, Intel, and ASM, all of whom are expanding operations or building new fabs in AZ due to strong business climate, strategic location and infrastructure. Statewide commitment through the Arizona Semiconductor Task Force, and the National Semiconductor Economic Roadmap (NSER) are enhanced by targeted incentives to attract companies and federal-state-industry alignments reinforce Arizona as a national leader in the next era of US semiconductor sovereignty.
Join Us at Edwards Vacuum's Facility in Chandler to Learn More About—
- Building the Premier Semiconductor Hub
- Powering the Ecosystem—Infrastructure as the Foundation
- The right strategy is critical to success. Arizona’s must include water reliability, energy stability, long-term sustainability and cost-competitiveness. The game plan must include sustainable growth at the scale demanded by advanced nodes, packaging and AI-driven manufacturing.
