Smart MFG Sustainability

The semiconductor industry is under increasing pressure to decarbonize its operations, particularly with regard to Scope 1 emissions — direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from owned or controlled sources. Yet many companies face a persistent challenge: how to make a clear, consistent, and financially credible case for emissions reduction investments. To help address this need, the Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) has developed a Cost-Benefit Calculator — a simplified and flexible tool that offers a structured starting point for evaluating carbon emissions reduction projects. The calculator enables users to estimate the Net Present Cost (NPC) per ton of CO₂ equivalent emissions reduction, helping to translate environmental impact into business-relevant terms.

Join the SEMI's Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) Scope 1 Working Group and document authors for a webinar discussing their journey creating the Cost-Benefit Calculator and outlining the use cases for this tool.  The Cost-Benefit Calculator is a functional spreadsheet with built in report creation tools. For business managers who need to calculate emissions for Scrope 1.

SCC members can download the Cost Benefit Calculator Report here.

Core Objectives:

This workshop is designed to help participants understand:

  • The real-world deployment, impact, and lessons learned from AI techniques

  • Strategies for building observable and scalable multi-agent workflows

  • The industry transition from restrictive data silos toward autonomous discovery.

  • Methods for achieving tangible business results and automation through diverse AI applications 

We’ve curated a technical agenda featuring Topics such as:

  • Agentic AI

  • Gaussian Process Regression

  • Time Series Modeling

  • Bayesian Optimization

  • And more...

You will walk away with actionable insights on:

  • Yield Enhancement through Edge-Driven Defect Detection and Classification
    • Demonstrates how edge AI leverages real-time sensor and image data—through virtual metrology, anomaly detection, and SPC-integrated feedback loops—to enable early defect detection, classification, and yield optimization.
  • From Prediction to Action: Causal AI for Real-Time Root-Cause Analysis in Semiconductor Manufacturing
    • How causal AI unifies multi-modal fab data into an intelligence layer to move beyond predictive alerts toward rapid root cause identification, prescriptive actions, and continuous improvement—significantly reducing RCA time and improving yield and operational efficiency.

  • From Data Silos to Autonomous Discovery: Agentic AI in Semiconductors
    • Agentic AI in semiconductor workflows as autonomous, decision-making systems (beyond RAG) that orchestrate multi-agent reasoning across complex fab data—requiring robust data foundations, domain-grounded algorithms, SME-driven knowledge (including reasoning traces), and structured evaluation frameworks (agentic harness) to ensure reliable, scalable deployment.

  • Making Sense of Equipment TimeSeries Data: From Signals to Insight
    • Introduces how semiconductor equipment time-series data (sensor signals, traces, run-to-run data) can be processed and modeled to uncover equipment behavior over time, enabling engineers to detect drift, changes, and anomalies for improved monitoring and troubleshooting.
  • Achieving Business Results from Air-gapped Agentic AI Automation in Semiconductor Manufacturing - Lessons from the Field
    • Highlights real-world deployment of agentic AI in fabs, demonstrating how autonomous systems are driving yield, capacity, and operational gains across engineering workflows (FDC, yield, test, maintenance) while navigating constraints like data privacy and legacy integration—along with practical adoption strategies and hands-on use cases.
  • And more...

Keynote - Addressing Future Challenges in the Stochastics Era of Patterning with EUV Dry Resist

New patterning technologies will be needed to advance the device roadmap to 2 nm and beyond. Minimum pitch scaling will be exceptionally difficult to achieve at these advanced nodes, even with EUV patterning. Stochastic effects using wet resists during EUV patterning become problematic at the nanoscale, and can lead to line collapse, bridging, unacceptable line edge roughness (LER) and line width roughness (LWR). These stochastic effects present challenges when optimizing the tradeoffs between EUV resist resolution, dose, sensitivity, line edge / line width roughness, defectivity and cost.
In this talk, we will review the basics of dry resist technology, including dry resist equipment requirements, process flows and process integration modeling. In addition, we will present data that documents the advantages of dry resist technology over wet resist technology, demonstrating superior image quality, scaling and yield. We will conclude the talk by demonstrating a digital twin of the process integration and usage of optimization to achieve improved LER/LWR characteristics.

Keynote - Accelerating Digital Twins with Gen AI

The rise of sophisticated AI tools, including generative AI, is revolutionizing the semiconductor industry by enabling the analysis of vast datasets to generate valuable insights. Executives in the sector see generative AI as a transformative force rather than just another tool. They believe it can deliver significant value, particularly in manufacturing, operations, and maintenance, its potential for process and equipment analysis, Predictive maintenance and smart diagnostics.

As fabs adopt smart manufacturing and virtual modeling it is pertinent for digital twins to leverage technologies like generative AI for data generation, Data Synthesis/Augmentation, Real Time Analysis, Model Optimization (AI enhanced physics models) , Rapid Prototyping and Accelerated Design and Development with data-driven model-based learning.

Unlocking Smarter, More Autonomous Fabs with Edge AI

As semiconductor fabs strive for higher yield, uptime, and efficiency, AI at the edge is becoming central to semiconductor manufacturing. Modern edge devices combine advanced sensors with embedded AI to monitor equipment, optimize energy, and detect anomalies in real time - without relying on the cloud.

This workshop will explore how AI-driven sensors and edge intelligence, integrated with IoT, 5G, and AI accelerators, enable scalable, resilient, and intelligent solutions tailored for semiconductor manufacturing. Learn how these technologies support:

  • Predictive maintenance to prevent downtime
  • Adaptive process automation for maximum efficiency
  • Real-time decision-making at the source of data generation

Join us to see how the convergence of sensors, edge AI, and connectivity is unlocking the next era of smart manufacturing.

Off Add to Calendar 2026-03-18 00:00:00 2026-03-19 00:00:00 Smarter Sensors, Smarter Fabs: AI at the Edge in Semiconductor Manufacturing Unlocking Smarter, More Autonomous Fabs with Edge AIAs semiconductor fabs strive for higher yield, uptime, and efficiency, AI at the edge is becoming central to semiconductor manufacturing. Modern edge devices combine advanced sensors with embedded AI to monitor equipment, optimize energy, and detect anomalies in real time - without relying on the cloud.This workshop will explore how AI-driven sensors and edge intelligence, integrated with IoT, 5G, and AI accelerators, enable scalable, resilient, and intelligent solutions tailored for semiconductor manufacturing. Learn how these technologies support:Predictive maintenance to prevent downtimeAdaptive process automation for maximum efficiencyReal-time decision-making at the source of data generationJoin us to see how the convergence of sensors, edge AI, and connectivity is unlocking the next era of smart manufacturing.
