SEMICON Taiwan 2024 Countdown Begins! Semiconductor Industry Giants Gather to Showcase the Latest in AI and Advanced Technologies

TSMC, ASE, MediaTek, NVIDIA, and Others Collaborate to Propel the Semiconductor Industry Toward Trillion-Dollar Milestones 

[August 28, 2024 – Hsinchu] The global semiconductor industry is experiencing significant growth, with SEMI predicting that the market will reach $1 trillion by the end of 2030. The AI-driven sector of the semiconductor industry, in particular, is set to play a crucial role in this expansion. In response to this trend, SEMICON Taiwan 2024 has adopted the theme "Breaking Limits: Powering the AI Era" for this year’s event, which is now in its final countdown stage before the official opening on September 4. This year’s exhibition will be larger in scale than ever before, featuring dual main venues for the first time, and introducing the debut of the "AI Technology Zone," the "AI Virtual Lab," and several international forums showcasing the latest AI technologies.  

New "AI Technology Zone" Debuts. Major Companies like ASE and NVIDIA Showcase AI Capabilities at the Exhibition. 

For the first time, SEMICON Taiwan 2024 will unveil the " AI Technology Zone," gathering key players such as ASE, Cadence, the Heterogeneous Integration and Chiplet System Package Alliance (Hi-CHIP), NVIDIA, Samsung Electronics, and Zhen Ding Tech. Group. This area will highlight the latest advancements and products in AI chip manufacturing, design, specialized hardware, and integrated services. Experts from Advantech, ASE, AWS, Delta Electronics, Hi-CHIP, and NVIDIA will deliver presentations exploring generative AI, edge AI solutions, and the application of AI in cloud services and IC substrates, offering attendees the opportunity to engage with these experts. Additionally, the event will feature the "AI Virtual Lab" for the first time, where visitors can use generative AI technology to revisit the history of transistor invention, witness the evolution of semiconductor technology, and explore the boundless possibilities of the AI era. 

Industry Leaders Provide In-Depth Analysis of AI Technologies at SEMICON Taiwan Forums 

SEMICON Taiwan 2024 will host a series of international forums that explore how semiconductors empower AI, leading to new applications and breakthroughs in areas such as MEMS, silicon photonics, advanced packaging, chip design, and smart manufacturing. Kicking off on September 3, the MEMS & Sensors Forum will feature industry experts from Microsoft, Lam Research, NXP, and STM, who will discuss the latest AI applications and trends in the MEMS and sensors sector. On the same day, the Silicon Photonics Global Summit will cover topics such as the potential of silicon photonics technology in AI-driven data centers and cloud computing, with insights from experts at TSMC, ASE, Broadcom, MediaTek, and Yole Group. The 3D IC/CoWoS for AI Summit on September 4 will include discussions by TSMC and ASE experts on the importance of advanced packaging technologies for AI chips. On September 5, the Advanced Testing Forum will feature experts from TSMC, Intel, and Qualcomm discussing innovations in chip design, manufacturing, and applications, including the development of "AI testing AI chips." The same day, the Smart Manufacturing Forum will focus on "Generative AI Transforming Semiconductor Manufacturing," with AWS, Micron Technology, and NVIDIA experts discussing how AI is revolutionizing manufacturing and enhancing production efficiency, automation, and quality management. 

This year, a new "Smart Mobility Innovation Zone" has been established to address the evolving automotive market, which is increasingly centered on software-defined vehicles (SDVs). This zone will feature a series of expert talks and has attracted participation from major companies like Ford and Kia. 

Walter Chen, Ford Lio Ho President stated, "Despite the challenging market outlook, Ford Lio Ho remains committed to the Taiwan market, continuing local production of Ford's global strategic models, and introducing a diverse range of products, including new energy vehicles, to meet consumer demand." 

Calvin Lee, Managing Director KIA Taiwan Sime Darby commented, "Over the next 3 to 5 years, the electric vehicle industry will undergo a significant transformation, shifting focus from the '3E' elements of battery, electric motor, and electronic control, to the '3A' elements of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Autonomous Drive, and Amusement. The development of related software applications will be a decisive factor for automakers in this electric vehicle revolution."
