semiconductors

The automotive industry, a key force behind the C.A.S.E (connectivity, autonomous, sharing/subscription, electrification) mega-trend, is poised to drive huge growth momentum for the entire semiconductor industry.

Coming in the wake of the COP27, the Smart and Green Manufacturing Summit at SEMICON Europa 2022 (Munich, 15-17 November) had a timely focus on the semiconductor industry’s contribution to meeting the United Nations’ target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

After launching Startups for Sustainability last year to help spur more green technology innovation, SEMI again invites all startups, academics, and innovators with compelling ideas for advancing semiconductor industry sustainability to apply to participate.

Each quarter SEMI recognizes the longstanding commitment and support of member companies as they reach a new membership milestone.

AI can potentially deliver the semiconductor industry operational gains of $85-$95 billion annually in earnings before interest by 2025. In reality, roughly 90% of this figure remains theoretical.

Companies of all sizes—not just industry juggernauts—are vital to the long-term health and well-being of that ecosystem. We hope you’ll stake your claim when the time comes. We all stand to benefit if you do.

SEMICON Europa 2022 (Munich, 15-17 November) attendees gathered at the Executive Forum for the Opening Ceremony on day one to hear from industry leaders and gain insights into the latest market and technology trends.

The Semiconductor Sustainability Summit at SEMICON Taiwan in September focused on three themes - Green Innovation of Zero Waste, Carbon Reduction, and Sustainable Innovation in Semiconductor Manufacturing - as the semiconductor industry drives toward net-zero carbon emissions.

Dr. Prakash Narain, president and CEO of Real Intent and a member of the ESD Alliance Governing Council, recently offered insights on the vexing functional verification challenges that consume a significant portion of the chip design cycle.

Each quarter SEMI recognizes the longstanding commitment and support of member companies as they reach a new membership milestone. Connecting the entire electronics manufacturing and design supply chain to help drive innovation and industry growth would not be possible without the continued partnerships and achievements of SEMI members.
