In the podcast with host Francoise von Trapp of 3D InCites, James Amano, Senior Director of EHS and Sustainability at SEMI, sheds light on the Startups for Semiconductor Sustainability program. The podcast episode is the first of three in a series.

Comet Yxlon provides X-ray and  computed tomography (CT) inspection solutions for R&D labs and production environments, including semiconductor manufacturing facilities, to enhance their productivity.

To help member companies set their course for 2023, SEMI recently shared insights from its Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) and Semiconductor Manufacturing Monitor report during a podcast with 3D InCites.

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.

The SEMI Foundation’s new flash mentoring program will scale SEMI Mentoring’s reach and drive authentic, organic connections between college students and professionals at SEMI member companies.

With the emergence of consolidation as a potent engine of semiconductor industry growth, global mergers and acquisitions are sweeping the industry as companies look to accelerate advances across segments including data centers, AI, IoT and automotive chips.

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.

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.
