Many semiconductor-based systems are moving toward 2.5D and 3D designs consisting of different pre-manufactured chips (chiplets) that perform specific functions. These are often provided by multiple vendors and are typically interconnected using an interposer. However, unlike monolithic multi-function chips, chiplets can be developed anywhere and at any process node. As such, chiplets from untrusted vendors can be unreliable or malicious. Third parties can reverse engineer, overproduce, or steal the IP of chiplets. Consequently, they raise new security challenges for an industry still figuring out ways to effectively mitigate hardware security threats to monolithic chips.
The webinar will focus on the potential threats that occur at the different stages of bringing chiplets to life, including design, assembly, and testing. The panelists will assess current safeguards to mitigate these risks and discuss open challenges for industry and academia.

Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Overstress Management: Why, What, and How
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is becoming more critical in all aspects of semiconductor manufacturing, affecting productivity and yield.
The SEMI E176 Standard, "Guide to Assess and Minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in a Semiconductor Manufacturing Environment," addresses this issue. This document provides practical, actionable guidance on establishing an acceptable EMI environment in semiconductor processes: from assessing the EMI environment to EMI mitigation to verification. SEMI E176 sets recommended EMI limits for different process categories. The Standard can benefit every stage of the semiconductor process and electronic assembly.

The CHIPS Act stipulates that semiconductor manufacturers requesting more than $150 million in direct funding under the CHIPS Act will need to submit plans for providing affordable, accessible, reliable and high-quality childcare for the workers who build and facilitate their fabs. The reasoning behind this is simple: without reliable childcare, parents cannot work. But designing and implementing a childcare plan requires a keen understanding of both the needs of workers and the landscape of childcare opportunities proximate to your company. Many resources and solutions are available on local, regional, and national levels. Join us to hear directly from the CHIPS office and representatives from local and national childcare providers about this issue and to participate in a robust Q&A session to help you shape your childcare strategy.

The SEMI Server Certification Protocol was developed to minimize the unauthorized use (piracy) of licensed software. Developed by a partnership of companies in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry and managed by the Electronic System Design Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, the protocol is applicable to many high-value software solutions. The protocol achieves this by being able to uniquely identify license servers – closing a loophole that is often exploited to enable unauthorized software use.
Later this year, SEMI will begin offering licenses to the protocol to companies wishing to strengthen their software license management systems against unauthorized usage.
On Wednesday, September 27th, the ESD Alliance will be presenting a webinar on the protocol including:
How software piracy impacts both software vendors and their customers
An overview of how the protocol is used to prevent license server duplication
A description of the protocol and its scope
How the protocol can be integrated into a software license management system
Additional background on use cases and how the protocol can be applied in different environments
The webinar will be presented by the chair of the joint development team that developed the protocol and will include a Q&A session.
