ISS Europe 2022 featured a new program and event format with industry insights and strategic topics condensed into one day of programming on 3 critical challenges facing the microelectronics industry: the energy crisis and sustainability, supply chain disruptions, and the talent pipeline shortage.

In January 2022, SEMI Taiwan released SEMI E187 – Specification for Cybersecurity of Fab Equipment. What cybersecurity pain points does SEMI E187 ultimately address?

Tech companies celebrate Pride in different ways, from diversity, equity, and inclusion Movie Clubs to Pride-focused trivia games and educational events. This type of company-wide celebration and recognition is important, because LGBT+ people face significant challenges in the workplace.

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.

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.

In 2021, SEMI member companies joined forces to partner with the world’s top startups to bring new sustainability technologies to semiconductor operations. The initiative, called Startups for Semiconductor Sustainability, covers three areas: Energy efficiency, water technologies, & material usage.

On February 4, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the America Creating Opportunities for Manufacturing, Pre-Eminence in Technology, and Economic Strength (COMPETES) Act by a vote of 222-210. The bill was introduced on January 25 as the House companion to the Senate’s USICA.

In Jan, SEMI published SEMI E187, a specification designed to help protect semiconductor manufacturing data. The publication marks the first time that SEMI Taiwan has led the development of an international standard and reflects the vital need for cybersecurity in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry.

For the semiconductor industry to flourish, all chip ecosystems must embrace closer ties, greater openness, and more flexibility to co-innovate solutions in today’s rapidly unfolding global digital transformation.
