Leveraging the CHIPS Act: Texas Semiconductor Industry Incentives & Initiatives

Texas is the top state in the nation for semiconductor manufacturing, according to Business Facilities Magazine, and has led the nation for 12 years in a row in the exporting of semiconductors and other electronic components. Join SEMI and the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office (EDT) for an overview of the Lone Star State’s plan to continue leading the nation in the research, design and production of semiconductors. 
 
Significant industry investments announced in Texas in the last two years will accelerate domestic semiconductor manufacturing, reducing reliance on foreign production and supply chains and further ensuring our national security. Texas has the innovation, the infrastructure and the talent to continue to lead the American resurgence in critical semiconductor manufacturing and the technologies of tomorrow. 

This webinar will provide the opportunity to learn more about the state’s new incentives and initiatives that leverage the federal CHIPS Act, including the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund. 

Join us to learn more about how Texas is focused on the future of semiconductor industry development!

SiC—Silicon Carbide Webinar #4: Understanding Sic Chip Cost, the Impact of Defects, and the Case of Price Parity With Si at the System Level

Silicon devices are dominating power electronics due to their excellent starting material quality, streamlined fabrication, low-cost volume production, proven reliability and ruggedness, and design/circuit legacy. Although Si power devices continue to make progress, they are approaching their operational limits primarily due to their relatively low bandgap and critical electric field that result in high conduction and switching losses, and poor high temperature performance.

SiC power chips are gaining significant market share and are projected to capture over 30% of the power chip market by 2029. Their cost, however, remains above that of similarly rated silicon chips and increases disproportionately with area. In this presentation, various elements of SiC chip cost will be qualitatively analyzed including contributions of substrate, epitaxy, and chip manufacturing. Material defects will be discussed in terms of their impact on chip area scalability and yields, and wafer test maps will be presented to elucidate their correlation. Finally, the case of system-level price parity between Si and SiC will be made, achieved primarily through reduced mass and volume of magnetic components, and simplified thermal management

Micro-electromechanical systems, or MEMS, constitute many devices that combine electrical and mechanical components, range in size from a few microns to millimeters, and are often fabricated using traditional semiconductor manufacturing processes. ALD builds material up Angstroms at a time with high conformality, even on complex geometries.

For MEMS and Sensor fabrication, including inkjet heads, pressure sensors, and microfluidics, ALD offers the most precision deposition technique on the market. Beneq ALD solutions include a wide range of materials and processes, making it simple to coat tiny, complicated components with anti-stiction, piezoelectric, or barrier films.

California CHIPS Act Support: State and Local Government Incentives

SEMI has invited the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) to discuss California state services and programs that can be leveraged in alignment with current and upcoming CHIPS Funding Opportunities. GO-Biz provides direct support to semiconductor businesses of all sizes and scopes via site selection and identification services, personalized incentive navigation services, liaison services, and local engagement and environmental process assistance.  

Competitive CHIPS proposals will apply one or more state or local government incentive(s) to finance their project costs. In this webinar, representatives from GO-Biz will outline different state incentives, including the R&D tax credit and Partial Sales and Use Tax Credit, that can be used to meet this financing requirement. Additionally, they will detail how their multiple services may be leveraged to strengthen your project proposal plans. Following a short presentation, they will be available for a Q&A.

United States SEMI SiC Silicon Carbide Webinar Series Business Technical

SiC—Silicon Carbide Webinar #5:

Topic: SiC Edge Termination Technology 

 

The nine to tenfold increase in critical electric field strength of SiC over Si allows high voltage blocking layers to be fabricated significantly thinner than those of similarly rated Si devices. This reduces device on-state resistance and capacitance, and therefore the associated conduction and switching losses, while maintaining high-voltage breakdown capability. However, lack of a well-designed edge termination structure diminishes the high voltage performance of SiC power devices. Indeed, under reverse bias, planar junctions exhibit breakdown voltages well below the ideal SiC drift layer limit because of electric field crowding at the junction periphery. Consequently, to maximize breakdown voltage, specialized edge termination structures are utilized. In this webinar, common structures that enhance the breakdown voltage of power SiC devices like metal field plates, floating guard rings, multiple-Junction-Termination-Extensions, and beveled edge terminations will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on optimizing their fabrication by minimizing photolithography levels and processing complexity, while ensuring robust breakdown voltage capability at high wafer yields.
