SEMI Sustainability Initiative

After launching Startups for Sustainability last year to help spur more green technology innovation, SEMI again invites all startups, academics, and innovators with compelling ideas for advancing semiconductor industry sustainability to apply to participate.

Review the top 5 areas of collaboration discussed at the SEMICON West 2022 Sustainability Summit: gas abatement acceleration, renewable energy push, value chain emissions transparency, bold and visible commitments, and low-energy compute.

With sustainability and workforce development two big themes at SEMICON West 2022, Françoise von Trapp of 3D InCites spoke with Ajit Manocha, SEMI President and CEO; Shari Liss, Executive Director of the SEMI Foundation; and Mousumi Bhat, Vice President of SEMI Sustainability Programs. Listen in.

The microelectronics industry works to make the most of the current boom and to manage crises and opportunities around the chip and talent shortage, data explosion, compliance requirements, digital innovation, environmental sustainability, remote work, and other pressing issues.

Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI, offers his perspectives on chip and talent shortages, the global fab expansion, and the critical importance of sustainable semiconductor manufacturing.
