Overview
The IRDS Roadmap has identified near-term challenges related to measurements of particles, trace metals and organics in liquid chemicals at levels required to meet the needs of the industry. The identified challenges are measurement of 10 nm and smaller particles, sub ppt measurement of metallic impurities, measurement of particle precursors and trace organics and online speciation of trace organics. The focus of the workshop will be on recent advances in analytical methodology and instrumentation that will enable the industry to meet these challenges.

Overview
Since 2018, the SEMI Voltage Sag Task Force—comprising Fabs, Utilities, OEMs, Tool Suppliers, and EPRI—has collaborated to address a persistent challenge: why do tools remain vulnerable to voltage sags despite the implementation of SEMI F47?
Over seven years, the task force has investigated the power quality environment, tool susceptibility, testing methodologies, and mitigation strategies. This deep dive has led to actionable recommendations for strengthening the SEMI F47 standard and improving tool resilience in future builds.
What to Expect
Join us for a comprehensive workshop that will:
- Review the task force’s findings and collaborative efforts
- Share insights from key stakeholders
- Present proposed revisions to the SEMI F47 standard
- Discuss how these updates can enhance tool performance and reliability

Improved materials are required for progress in fields including printed electronics, semiconductors, aerospace & defense, energy, and life sciences/medical care. Developing such materials and chemicals involves considerations of performance, cost, manufacturability, safety, and stability. Scaling production of new materials is a very different challenge than making 50 grams in a laboratory. Transitioning/commercializing new materials is a separate effort where intellectual property, regulation, quality control, system documentation, supply chain development, and business relationships become key. This talk will address these aspects of introducing a new material into our enterprise.
