The close-knit FOA Device-Maker-to-Device-Maker information sharing has always been one of the key benefits of the organization. While in-person meetings continue to be a challenge amid the pandemic, the FOA is still looking to facilitate best practice & information sharing virtually. Similar to the first open forum, the second one will be based on a purpose-driven survey and will focus on return-to-work/business continuity during the pandemic.
For information on the open forum, please contact the FOA staff: [email protected]
Fab Owner's Alliance (FOA), a SEMI technology community, is hosting an open forum to discuss how members are handling the return to work for non–essential employees.
This event is by invitation only.

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.

Despite declining smartphone sales and a stagnating automotive market back in 2019, the MEMS industry is still strong.
Voice personal assistants landed hard, their skills are increasing and leading to the era of the Internet of Voice.
MEMS microphones are the driving force of this re-evolution being vigorously integrated in smartphones, smart speakers, earbuds, etc.
Green mobility, safety and ADAS requirements will increase the demand of pressure and inertial MEMS in cars.
However, the aging MEMS market will need some face-lifting such as better software and algorithms leading to better sensor fusion and processing on the edge, in order to extract more juice from the sensors and lead to new use cases or better end-user experience.
Besides, the unforeseen COVID-19 crisis has paralyzed the whole world: from manufacturing sites being closed to logistics and supply chain problems, the effects are strongly felt. Each market has different dynamics, with automotive being the worst hit sector, while medical applications have the most positive outlook.
MEMS market dynamics, the impact of COVID-19 as well as future trends will be presented in the first session.
Part 2: Imaging Sensors
In 2019, CIS market reached $19.3B exceeding 4.6% of total semiconductor sales. This industry is actively driving developments in new pixel designs and 3D semiconductor technologies.
Demand from mobile devices will keep thriving
The overall attachment rate for CIS cameras per phone moves towards in average of 3.06 units per phone
Growth rate for CIS attachment grew to 25% for 2019
In the consumer space, photography’s decline has bottomed out, while smart home devices and home robotics are providing emerging use-cases.
End of 2019, the CMOS Image Sensors industry went into overheating with a combination of high demand and high prices due to capacity limitations. In automobile domain, CIS is a cornerstone technology in the development of machine sensing, artificial intelligence (AI) powered devices such as in advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) applications. It powers many of the on-going revolutions, in new technical products and new use cases.
The second presentation will give a snapshot of the current status of the CIS industry.
