The excitement at SEMICON West was palpable and the turnout reflected the charged atmosphere: attendance at the event jumped 37% from the previous year, as Joe Stockunas, President of SEMI Americas, pointed out in a wrap-up video interview with Silicon Semiconductor editor Phil Alsop.

SEMI Europe's ongoing collaboration with key European industry players and governmental authorities on legislation such as the European Chips Act and critical topics including workforce diversity, sustainability, and supply chain resilience are crucial to the region’s future technological strength.

Each quarter SEMI recognizes the longstanding commitment and support of member companies as they reach a new membership milestone.

The Honorable Al Gore delivered inspiring opening remarks at the Nov. 10 session, congratulating the SCC for forming, setting its ambition, and committing to collaboration, transparency and ambition.

The more than 2,500 SEMI member companies worldwide advance the business of electronics design and manufacturing. SEMI members are responsible for the innovations in materials, design, equipment, software, devices, and services that enable smarter, faster, and more powerful electronic products.

The Innovators of the Future Awards are a highlight of the FLEX Conference and Exhibition, bringing out the best and the brightest in the flexible electronics industry. Review the winners for FLEX 2022.

The SEMI FlexTech R&D program recently completed project FT19-19-190 with SAFI-Tech to create a solder material with a substantially lower melting point than conventional solder paste, reducing the thermal stresses created by high-temperature processing used for smaller packaging technologies.

Connecting the entire electronics manufacturing and design supply chain would not be possible without the continued partnerships and achievements of SEMI members. SEMI extends a special thank you to the following companies for celebrating these SEMI membership milestones in 1Q2022.

The theme of the 6th annual Women in Semiconductors (WiS) program, held in conjunction with ASMC 2022, was inclusion, mentorship, and networking. The presentations at this year’s program were authentic and personal, prompting honest dialogue and responses from attendees.

A 2018 longitudinal study of SEMI's High Tech U participants showed the program’s deep influence: 82% of SEMI HTU graduates followed a path to higher education, 78% completed STEM degrees, and 70% reported that the program influenced their choice of field or career.
