high-volume manufacturing

SEMI spoke with Eyal Shekel, senior VP of Service Strategy and Excellence at Tokyo Electron Limited, about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on smart manufacturing and how other fab solutions for smarter process tools are advancing semiconductor manufacturing.

SEMI spoke with Valentina Terzieva, Manager EU funded projects at imec, about the vital importance of the consortium in spurring Industry 4.0 advances. imec leads the MADEin4 Requirements, Samples and Industry 4.0 pilot line infrastructure work package.

The first of its kind, the Metrology Advances for Digitized ECS Industry 4.0 (MADEin4) project aims to develop the next generation of metrology tools, machine learning methods and applications to help drive higher manufacturing productivity in the semiconductor and automotive industries.

A consortium of 31 European electronics companies spanning packaging, optics, photonics, equipment and testing is aiming to spur growth of the European semiconductor value chain through a three-year project to build new tools, methods and processes for high-volume manufacturing.

SEMI spoke with Thomas Fries, founder and CEO of FRT GmbH, about how hybrid metrology is shaping multi-sensor metrology tools to enhance measurement precision as the industry moves away from a single-sensor approach.

SEMI met with Jay Zhang, business development director at Corning Incorporated, to discuss recent innovations at Corning that allow fine granularity CTE engineering, in-process warp control, as well as the associated production methodology that provides rapid prototyping & high-volume manufacturing.
