This course describes how machine learning and AI-based approaches to research, development, and production brings advantages to cleanroom processes. AI-based identification of time-varying equipment performance, and the effects of the previous recipe used on the outcome of the current desired methods, are just some of the ways AI can be used to reduce the process variability.
The team from Cornell has applied AI approaches to optimize lithography and etching processes involved in the development of an RF wake-up NEMS (Nano ElectroMechnical system) switch that needs a well-controlled gap between a moving shuttle and a contact. We report on a decision tree based AI model for predicting lithography outcomes.
This work is being applied to plasma etching and the combined prediction of lithography and thin-film etching, using CD-SEM imagery for feature extraction and modeling process variables. Additional approaches to train process-modeling CAD tools to result in better process development experience are developed.

Artificial Intelligence in Thin Film Manufacturing
The COVID Pandemic has caused a worldwide shortage of many consumable supplies that SEMI members require. Increased safety and PPE usage by new industries have strained the supply chain, forcing buyers to identify and establish relations with new providers, as many providers are in allocation mode working only with established customers. Thomas Scientific is hosting this session to provide insights into how to address this current predicament.

As new materials and process emerge to enable the integration of high performance micro-electronics into paper-thin, flexible hybrid electronics (FHE), there is an increasing demand for new power sources that also support the goals of ultra-thin and flexible.
Among the key challenges is the ability to achieve high energy densities as the battery thickness decreases to a point where the packaging becomes an increasing fraction of the total volume. The challenge is further complicated by the demanding duty cycles for many FHE systems that require both high power (periodic, large current bursts) and high energy (operation across many years in some cases).
At the same time, the new power sources must meet the typical high standards for safety, durability, compatibility with a wide range of storage and operation temperatures, and the needs to support effective integration into the FHE platforms.
The session reviews the challenges and progress for new power supplies that are emerging to meet the needs of the FHE community.

Sensorization will enable next generation of transportation: Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) vehicles. Join McKinsey & Company and SEMI Smart Mobility for this webinar detailing the opportunities for sensors in vehicles and smart infrastructure.
McKinsey & Company have identified several major disruptions that will impact the mobility sector. For example, the automotive sensor market for light vehicles is expected to grow from around $30 billion to $60+ billion by 2030 (Mapping the Automotive Software and Electronics Landscape through 2030, McKinsey.com, July 2019). While current cars with L1 automation (and internal combustion engine) have around $300 worth of sensors, a purpose-built robo-taxi (BEV) in 2030 will have around $2,000 worth of sensors. An increase in the adoption of cameras, radars, and LiDARs contributes to large per vehicle sensor value and enables the data collection necessary for advanced features. Additionally, the sensor market related to smart roads/infrastructure is also growing rapidly and creating opportunities for sensor manufacturers and related players.
The MSIG community is a critical partner in contributing to SEMI's Smart Mobility initiative to connect and synchronize the automotive/mobility and semiconductor/sensor supply chains around issues that matter to both. By creating collaborative platforms and bringing communities together, Smart Mobility will streamline the transition to highly-sensorized ACES vehicles and provide business opportunities to MSIG members. One such community is the SEMI’s Global Automotive Advisory Council (GAAC) where auto manufacturers and suppliers meet to address common challenges, share information and align priorities.
This webinar will provide details on market projections, GAAC activities, Smart Mobility initiates, and provide examples of how MSIG members should participate. Together, MSIG and Smart Mobility can help the Transportation Evolution.

Future mobility disruptions include the development of autonomous and connected vehicles, electric powertrains, and shared mobility solutions. These trends will shape and impact the semiconductor design value chain:
The development of autonomous vehicles will impact chip design, verification, and IP through demand for high-performance computing, connectivity, functional safety, security, and reliability.
Software-rich automotive solution-specific EDA products will serve the needs of automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to accelerate R&D, verification, and testing.
Partnerships in the semiconductor value chain will play an important role to make these mobility disruptions reality. Suppliers in the design ecosystem could partner on system architecture, design, development, and verification
Join McKinsey & Company and SEMI's Electronic System Design Alliance at this webinar to learn about emerging new opportunities in Design and IP being driven by the rapid growth and disruptions in the global automotive markets and supply chains.
