Q&A

EMG Workforce Development

Two overarching business issues face the industry today – how to responsibly create sustainability strategies and how to find and train strong workers.  Both issues are challenging management teams to think creatively and change fundamental processes of their business. 

SEMI members are looking to SEMI to provide industry-wide guidance and support to share best practices, build grassroots processes, and guidebooks that both large and small companies can use to improve their efforts.

Attend this webinar to get an update and insights, with a special tilt toward the materials industry, on how you can incorporate SEMI guidebooks for hiring qualified and diverse DEI and Veterans hiring, as well as other efforts toward strengthening your workforce.  On the Sustainability topic, hear how the industry is coming together to help each other in Scope 1,2, and 3 measuring and reporting mechanisms, and more!

Workforce Shortage—Meeting Challenges for the Semiconductor Industry

As demand for semiconductors is increasing, foundries and other makers of chips are expanding their manufacturing capacities.  With new fabs that will bring thousands of new jobs to the US, Arizona and Texas are poised to gain many of those positions. Where will we find the talent to fill the upcoming surge of engineering and technical personnel needed to support our existing infrastructure, but also support the new fabs coming in just two-four years?  ​

The SEMI Arizona and Texas Chapters will explore this topic by hearing from Arizona and Texas-based leadership on the current market conditions, trends and outlook.  We will also hear from the semiconductor industry, experts from industry, universities/colleges and military who will provide insight into preparing a new workforce to meet our current workforce needs and needs of our not-to-distant future. ​

Moore’s Law continues to evolve - dramatically changing the Field Effect Transistor (FET).  As FinFETs reach their performance limits, attention is turning to Gate All Around (GAA) architectures based on Horizontal Nanosheet technology. Such a fundamental shift in transistor architecture will create new challenges to processes and materials, presenting opportunities for companies well-positioned for this shift.

In this webinar, SEMI EMG brings experts to explain the technology trends driving the industry adoption of Gate All Around, how the major players are approaching this transition, and the implications this will have on the material supply chain
