Global attention is turning to SEMICON Taiwan 2024 set in September, where the event will spotlight the latest trends and innovations in semiconductor technology

(August 15, 2024 – Hsinchu) As demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) continues to surge, the need for advanced packaging technologies is also on the rise. SEMICON Taiwan 2024, the largest and most influential semiconductor event in Taiwan, will be held from September 4-6 at the TaiNEX Halls 1 and 2. The event will showcase the most comprehensive lineup of the semiconductor supply chain and cutting-edge industry technologies. The exhibition will feature 11 diverse and forward-looking innovation themes, including "AI Chips," "Advanced Processes," "Heterogeneous Integration," "Silicon Photonics," and "Compound Semiconductors", all of which will be highlighted in various theme pavilions and programs. The international forums on "Advanced Packaging Technologies," which will be showcased during the event, are particularly seen as indicators of next year's technological trends. Key topics such as globally recognized advanced packaging technologies, including Chiplet, 3D IC, CoWoS, and FOPLP (Fan-out Panel Level Packaging), will be major focal points for the market.

Terry Tsao, Global Chief Marketing Officer and President of Taiwan, SEMI, said, "Over the past 50 years, Taiwan's semiconductor industry has evolved from IC design, wafer manufacturing, and packaging to integrated component manufacturing, developing a comprehensive supply chain. As the industry enters the era of 'Foundry 2.0', this advancement not only enhances and expands Taiwan's semiconductor landscape but also positions Taiwan as a potential global rule-maker, increasing its competitiveness and influence globally."

CoWoS and FOPLP advanced packaging technologies are driving the future of heterogeneous integration

This year's SEMICON Taiwan will feature over 40 CoWoS-related manufacturers and more than 40 panel-level packaging suppliers, offering a comprehensive supply chain lineup that spans equipment, materials, components, and processes. As semiconductor technology advances, the industry faces increasingly complex challenges, necessitating close collaboration and strategic growth across the supply chain. To address these challenges, TSMC and ASE will lead the inaugural 3D IC/CoWoS for AI Summit – HIGS Series Event, during SEMICON Taiwan. This initiative aims to drive technological innovation and further advance semiconductor development.

Elites converge at SEMICON Taiwan, where innovation pushes the boundaries of Moore's Law

This year's SEMICON Taiwan will also spotlight advanced processes and semiconductor packaging through a series of technical forums. The Heterogeneous Integration Global Summit 2024 series will feature the inaugural FOPLP Innovation Forum. Over four days, industry leaders and academic experts from AMD, Intel, Micron, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Silicon Box, Sony Semiconductor, and TSMC will gather to provide in-depth insights into critical technologies including HBM, silicon photonics, CPO, Hybrid Bonding, and Liquid Cooling, offering a comprehensive exploration from multiple perspectives.

During SEMICON Taiwan, major global semiconductor leaders converge in Taiwan, strengthening their supply chain relationships with Taiwan’s key technologies and successfully bringing new opportunities for global supply chain collaboration.

Kitchener, Ontario, August 15, 2024 – PEER Group®, the largest supplier of innovative factory automation software products for the semiconductor industry, will be showcasing its suite of powerful and flexible test products and services during SEMICON Taiwan 2024.

“Successfully passing the factory acceptance test (FAT) is a very important step for OEMs,” says Mike Barrett, PEER Group’s Vice President, Global Sales. “By using PEER Group’s test product and services, OEMs can quickly and easily validate their tool to ensure it’s ready for a seamless integration once it reaches the factory floor and avoid any costly delays or issues.”

With decades of experience integrating equipment into semiconductor factories, PEER Group provides OEMs with deep knowledge and expertise into what it takes to pass the factory acceptance test at the world’s leading semiconductor factories. “We have been doing this for a long time,” says Barrett, while noting: “Failing the FAT can really hurt a company’s reputation and jeopardize future sales. Luckily, we have the test products and services OEMs need to make sure their tool meets and complies with all the requirements factories are requesting.”

PEER Group’s test products are used by OEMs to validate SECS/GEM communications, factory requirements, and compliance with SEMI automation standards. These tests can be conducted before the tool is shipped to the factory, eliminating risk of integration delays or issues by identifying any potential problems early on.

For OEMs that require additional help passing the FAT, PEER Group OEM Services offers various options, including factory specification reviews, equipment testing, and onsite integration services, to ensure timely and successful equipment acceptance.

SEMICON Taiwan will take place September 4-6 in Taipei. The PEER Group booth, M0938, will be located on the fourth floor in Hall 1. For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/3M5ugak.
