Jens Fabrowsky, executive VP of Automotive Electronics at Robert Bosch GmbH, spoke about changes in the European electronics industry necessary for the region to become more resilient during participation at the panel discussion at SEMI ISS Europe on May 30 2022 in Brussels, Belgium.

The Pact for Skills, a new European engagement and governance program, aims to support upskilling & reskilling and generate European, national and regional funding to attract new talent. The Pact makes it a priority to create a well-skilled workforce in microelectronics R&D, design, & manufacturing.

Guido D’hert, High Tech and Semiconductor Industry Europe Lead at Accenture, spoke about challenges meeting sustainability goals and how to apply analytics, new green technologies and circular design during his presentation at SEMI ISS Europe on May 30, 2022 in Brussels, Belgium.

Luc Van den hove, president and CEO at imec, spoke about semiconductor sustainability, healthcare trends and deep tech, and their implications for the semiconductor industry. Van den hove shared his views ahead of his keynote presentation at SEMI ISS Europe, on May 30, 2022, in Brussels, Belgium.

SEMI spoke with Georgina Janvier, David Mueller, Claudia Mueller-Spohr, and Judy Huang of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany about how companies must understand complex social interactions in work cultures before launching successful DEI initiatives and the lessons from the latest neuroscience.

SEMI spoke with Beneq business executive Sami Sneck about common metal and particle contamination issues with critical chamber components, coating methods to protect against corrosion, and properties to look for when selecting the optimal protective coating solution.

Andreas C. Zimmer, Executive Search and Selection Consultant at ZIAN & Co, spoke about strategies for attracting and retaining talent and promoting careers in semiconductor industry. Zimmer shared his views during his presentation at SEMI Technology Unites Global Summit, 15-19 Feb 2021.

SEMI spoke with Eyal Shekel, senior VP of Service Strategy and Excellence at Tokyo Electron Limited, about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on smart manufacturing and how other fab solutions for smarter process tools are advancing semiconductor manufacturing.

The costs of production are typically based on labor and materials and define manufacturing expenses. What about the cost of poor quality and lack of efficiency in production? How is the pandemic impacting semiconductor manufacturing and what can we expect from the future?

Despite the need for more advanced anticipation solutions, the penetration of AI for quality prediction remains limited. This is especially true for more advanced AI techniques, such as neural networks, which perform better in modelling complex systems but require vast amounts of balanced data.
