SEMICON West

The SEMI Foundation redesigned High Tech U to help meet the growing workforce demands of the microelectronics industry. The aim: Reach and inspire thousands of current K-12 students to pursue STEM educations and careers.

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.

At SEMICON West 2023, experts discussed the growing legal and regulatory risks facing the semiconductor industry and how to navigate those risks through the pursuit of sustainability strategies and broader industry collaboration on policy development.

To help the semiconductor industry keep pace with increasing chip performance and cost demands, SEMI has formed the Advanced Packaging Heterogeneous Integration (APHI) Technology Community as part of our longstanding support of advanced packaging innovation through events and standards development. 

In the latest episode of the SEMICON West 2023 podcast series, Francoise von Trapp of 3D InCites spoke with Weiss and Bindiya Vikal, CEO and Founder of Resilinc and one of the panelists, about how to navigate the complexities of the semiconductor supply chain.

The popular WFD Pavilion at SEMICON West will feature programming geared towards students and job seekers as well as industry professionals.

This year’s SEMICON West features a slew of new features that span keynote and conference programming, networking opportunities and even dining options.

Digital twin technology enables supply chain managers to create a virtual model of their operations, allowing them to simulate various scenarios and optimize their processes, leading to improved efficiency, resilience, and cost savings.

The startups program is part of the SEMI Sustainability Initiative, which brings together members from across the semiconductor value chain to find solutions to common sustainability issues and share best practices.

With the March 13 submission deadline for applying to the SEMI Startups for Sustainability program fast approaching, SEMI encourages all startups, academics, and innovators with compelling ideas for advancing semiconductor industry sustainability to join this year’s program.
