VIENNA, Austria ─ February 15, 2023 ─ SEMI Europe today announced recipients of the European SEMI Award and Special Service Award for 2022 at the SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium Europe (ISS Europe 2023). Melexis chairwoman Françoise Chombar was honored with the European SEMI Award and professor Thomas Skotnicki of Warsaw University of Technology and the Institute of High Pressure Physics (CENTERA Labs) with the Special Service Award.

Established more than 30 years ago, the European SEMI Award and Special Service Award recognize key players in the global manufacturing supply chain, highlighting their leadership excellence and strategic contributions that lead to critical advances in the semiconductor industry.

“We are honored to recognize Françoise Chombar and professor Thomas Skotnicki for their outstanding leadership and tremendous contributions to Europe’s semiconductor community,” said Laith Altimime, president of SEMI Europe. “These extraordinary leaders have been instrumental in helping the semiconductor industry fulfill its ambitions and inspiring future generations to drive toward a more equitable, digital and greener future.”

“More diversity, equity and inclusion lead to more innovation, increased competitiveness, more decent leadership, higher levels of job satisfaction and a greater sense of community,” Chombar said. “Humbled to receive the 2022 European SEMI Award, I’d like to dedicate it to all the wonderful people I have the chance to collaborate with, and I hope it encourages many more diverse talents to strengthen the exciting semiconductor space, particularly in the EU, a great place to live and work.”

Chombar is Chairwoman and co-founder of Melexis, a fabless company based in Europe. She has served as Melexis CEO for 18 years. She is also president of the STEM-Platform, an advisory board to the Flemish government. Her long-term commitment to actively advocating for more STEM and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is driven by her profound belief in their positive societal impact.

Recognitions for Chombar’s work include the 2016 Vlerick Business School Award for excellence in management, the 2018 BNP Paribas Global Prize for Women Entrepreneurs, the 2019 Flemish Community Honor, and the 2021 Medal of Honor by the Science and Technology Group of KU Leuven. She is UGent Honorary Ambassador for Applied Language Studies and VUB Honorary Science Fellow. In 2020, she was elected to Inspiring Fifty Belgium, a list of inspirational women in tech.

“Breakthrough innovation is not a piece of cake,” professor Skotnicki said. “It took me 26 years to convey the UTBB FD CMOS technology from equation to fabrication. This technology is now in production and has been labeled European KET. These great results were made possible by the support, openness, and confidence of my managers at STMicroelectronics, Jean-Marc Chery and Joel Hartmann. The European SEMI Special Award brings me a great satisfaction that I share with my collaborators and Ph.D. students.”

Professor Skotnicki has been active in the semiconductor industry for over 30 years. He joined Telecom France in 1985 and STMicroelectronics in 1999 to become the first Company Fellow and Technical Vice President. He co-leads the CENTERA project (International Research Agenda funded by Foundation for Polish Science) and is professor at Warsaw University of Technology, Poland.

He holds 80 patents has authored nearly 500 scientific papers on CMOS and Energy Harvesting. Professor Skotnicki invented the UTBB FDSOI structure (in production at STMicroelectronics, GlobalFoundries and Samsung). Models of his MASTAR software were used for calculations of CMOS roadmaps. He is an IEEE Fellow, and served on the executive committees for several industry conferences.

Nominations for the 2023 European SEMI Award are open. Please see the award guidelines. Prior European SEMI Award recipients hailed from companies including imec, Soitec, CEA-Leti, Technical University of Dresden, Catholic University of Leuven, STMicroelectronics, EV Group, Infineon, and the Fraunhofer Institute.

BRUSSELS, Belgium — December 19, 2022 — SEMI, the industry association serving the global electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, today announced key actions proposed by SEMI Europe and European Commission (EC) representatives in consultation with semiconductor industry stakeholders to overcome the skills shortage in Europe’s microelectronics industry. The actions resulted from a December 2 workshop held in Brussels to support the European Chips Act and address challenges and future opportunities for developing skills critical to Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem.

The workshop marked the first meeting among SEMI Europe representatives, Lucilla Sioli, Director of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Industry in Directorate-General CONNECT at the European Commission, and more than 80 semiconductor industry stakeholders including representatives from SEMI Europe member companies to discuss key projects under the Pact for Skills for Microelectronics.

Workshop participants including SEMI members Bosch, imec, Intel and onsemi underscored the urgent need for training facilities, STEM graduates and a more diverse workforce, while market research firm Decision Etude and Conseil presented its recent METIS4Skills Strategy 2022 annual update. The report points to a worsening of the talent shortage in Europe since 2020.

The European Chips Act heightens the focus on the need for process engineers, maintenance technicians, process technicians and other semiconductor manufacturing workers.

“We thank the European Commission for its continuous support and collaboration with the semiconductor industry in strengthening Europe’s microelectronics skills ecosystem,” said Laith Altimime, president of SEMI Europe, who participated in the workshop with Christopher Frieling, director of Advocacy and Public Policy at SEMI Europe. “The European semiconductor industry must diversify its talent pool, an effort that requires funding so Europe can develop a sustainable workforce.”

Chip industry stakeholders participating in the workshop in person and virtually discussed common roadblocks to hiring, shared best workforce development practices and highlighted successes of EC, national and semiconductor industry skills initiatives. The participants generated a comprehensive list of actions geared toward improving the image of the semiconductor sector to attract students and young talent, re-skilling and upskilling workers, and sustaining the push for a diverse and inclusive workforce in Europe.

As part of the Erasmus+ project METIS, SEMI Europe will publish a summary of the workshop outcomes and recommendations for concrete follow-up actions in the first quarter of 2023. Examples of actions include:

• Create an industry image campaign to raise public awareness on how technology is shaping the future, and how workers can establish careers in the semiconductor industry.
• Remove barriers to entry in the industry for top university graduates in part by retooling immigration policies that affect the microelectronics sector.
• Harmonize workforce development initiatives within Europe and create a European University Network for Microelectronics with a focus on internship and work opportunities for students.  
• Inspire children and teenagers to pursue a STEM education, recruit more STEM teachers, attract female teenagers to STEM, and replicate existing talent development initiatives for the microelectronics industry such as competitions for European teenagers to design chips.

The workshop materials are available on the European Commission website. Once the EU Chips Act is enacted, the European Commission will host a second session to refine the actions that emerged from the initial workshop in order to help identify funding opportunities to support skills development in Europe, work that will support 2023 European Year of Skills initiatives.
