Given the on-going China-U.S. trade tensions, companies have been moving production bases to Vietnam to diversify risk. At the same time, foreign Multinational Corporations (MNCs) have been setting up new manufacturing bases or expanding existing capacities. Vietnam’s political stability and a young, vibrant, and productive middle class, coupled with solid economic growth, means that the country is poised to become the next manufacturing hub of the world. Companies looking to invest in Vietnam can also take advantage of several Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), with many agreements signed through its membership in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the recent RCEP.
The electronics industry, a priority sector set by the Vietnamese government, has impressively developed since 2010. Vietnam’s active participation in the global integration of electronics manufacturing has enabled it to engage deeply in global value chains. Today, Vietnam is a favourable investment hotspot for the electronics and semiconductor industry, with major MNCs having a manufacturing presence in the country. This webinar brings together speakers from the government, industry park developers, and major MNCs to provide an update on Vietnam’s investment climate, benefits of investing, and sharing of investors’ experiences. The goal is to promote and grow the electronics and semiconductor industry in Vietnam as a compliment to the entire Southeast Asian electronics and semiconductor eco-system.

SEMI and McKinsey & Company surveyed 200+ equipment suppliers, materials suppliers, device manufacturers, OEMs, and service providers to benchmark the health of the semiconductor supply chain.
The rebound is broad: 88% of suppliers expect revenue growth over the next 12 months. But beneath it, the chain has split. Leading-edge capacity is stretched to the limit while downstream inventories pile up, lead times are running 27% above historical norms, and AI ambitions are outpacing the skills to deliver them.

Elastomer seals are critical components in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, where they are routinely exposed to demanding conditions including aggressive process chemistries, plasma environments, vacuum, elevated temperatures, and repeated mechanical cycling. Understanding how elastomer properties, seal design, application conditions, and installation practices interact is essential for achieving reliable sealing performance.
This webinar will explore common seal failure modes and the mechanisms that can contribute to premature failure, including chemical and plasma degradation, compression set, thermal effects, mechanical damage, and installation-related issues. Examples will be used to demonstrate how visual observations, application information, and engineering analysis can help identify potential root causes and guide corrective actions.
The course concludes by presenting information on current or emerging technologies and the attendant challenges, that include hybrid bonding, co-packaged optics, and advanced substrate materials. The course also touches upon challenges with thermal dissipation for high-power AI products, and the bottlenecks now shaping next-generation semiconductor package roadmaps.
An understanding of the fundamental properties of elastomers and how those properties influence seal performance.
Types of elastomers used in semiconductor manufacturing and factors that affect the material selection process.
How operating conditions such as temperature, plasma, process chemistry, vacuum, and mechanical loading can affect seal life.
Common seal failure modes and how to identify them.
The importance of proper seal design, gland design, and installation practices.
Understand how failure analysis can be used to troubleshoot sealing problems and identify opportunities for improvement.
How ASNA can support customers through application evaluation, material and design recommendation, failure analysis, customer engineering, and on-site installation support.
This course is ideal for engineers and technical professionals, including equipment, process, mechanical, applications, reliability, maintenance, and field service engineers.

Given the immense cost of AI products & platforms, an important and differentiating factor for a successful packaging technology supplier is offering stellar quality and reliability to preserve the value of the expensive silicon chiplets. This course introduces various aspects of demonstrating Quality and Reliability in semiconductor packaging. One way to guarantee stellar quality and reliability of products with new technologies is to overdesign them, but that can be very expensive. Alternatively, under-designing packages from a reliability perspective may be cheaper; however, it will likely trigger premature failures in the field, leading to higher ownership costs and frustration for customers. Optimizing this balance to deliver new technology and meet customer expectations requires drawing from experience (history), judicious use of simulations, augmenting with empirical data and, more importantly, engineering rigor to make the right technology decisions.
This course will prepare the audience to tackle technical problems (related to failure mechanisms and product qualification) by providing a blueprint that aids in proving that the technology capabilities can meet the market demands. The participants will experience the concepts through hands-on exercises throughout the course.
A brief overview of semiconductor packaging.
Understand the fundamentals of quality and reliability principles.

Rapid advances in electronics, sensors, computation, wireless systems, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology are creating a new generation of medical solutions that interact directly with the body’s electrical and physiological control systems. Collectively described as bioelectronic medicine, these technologies offer the potential to complement—and in some applications overcome important limitations of—traditional pharmaceutical approaches by providing interventions that can be spatially targeted, dynamically adjusted, continuously monitored, and personalized to an individual patient’s physiology.
This Master Class will provide a broad introduction to the rapidly evolving field of bioelectronic medicine from the perspective of electrical and computer engineering. It will examine how technologies familiar to engineers—including low-noise sensing, embedded computing, signal processing, machine learning, wireless communications, miniaturized stimulation electronics, wearable devices, and closed-loop control—are being translated into new diagnostic and therapeutic platforms. Examples will range from cardiac pacemakers and cochlear implants to deep-brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, transcranial stimulation, peripheral nerve interfaces, and digital biomarkers. Particular attention will be given to the transition from open-loop stimulation toward sensor-guided, closed-loop bioelectronic medicine, in which physiological measurements provide real-time feedback for optimizing stimulation parameters and tracking therapeutic responses.
The Master Class will also explore why engineers are increasingly central to the future of medicine. Biological systems present unusual engineering challenges: signals are weak and noisy, anatomy and physiology vary substantially between individuals, neural systems are nonlinear and adaptive, and successful devices must operate safely at the interface between electronics and living tissue. These challenges are generating opportunities for innovation across semiconductor technology, MEMS and wearable sensors, electrode design, power management, computational modeling, AI, cybersecurity, human-machine interfaces, and systems engineering.
The Master Class will conclude with a look toward the next generation of bioelectronic medicine: intelligent therapeutic systems and digital twins capable not simply of measuring disease or delivering predetermined stimulation, but of continuously sensing physiological state, interpreting changes in biological function, and adapting interventions to promote recovery and maintain health. For electrical and computer engineers, this emerging field represents an opportunity to apply core engineering disciplines to some of the most consequential challenges in human health.
