A Conversation about Semiconductor Market Growth and What it Means
3D InCites Podcast
12/08/21 • 19 min
At SEMICON West Hybrid 2021, everyone was talking about the impact of the chip shortage, global fab expansion, the talent shortage, and the over-arching topic of the importance of sustainable semiconductor manufacturing. We spoke with Ajit Manocha, CEO of SEMI, to get his perspective on all these issues, and the role SEMI plays in providing a collaborative environment to find solutions.
On the topic of global fab expansion, he noted that between now and 2024, there are plans to open 25 8-inch fabs and 60 300mm fabs around the world. This added 300mm capacity represents 48% growth – a number he says he’s never seen before. The revenue attached to that is an increase from $550B this year, to $2.2T by 2030.
Manocha also shares some key takeaways from his fireside chat with Deputy Secretary of Commerce, Don Graves, and how the US Government is finally understanding the important role the semiconductor industry plays in our lives, from accelerating the development of the vaccine to ensuring national security.
And lastly, as an industry with a massive carbon footprint, yet with devices that help other industries reduce theirs, we find ourselves in a bit of a conundrum. How do we continue to support market demand for more and more chips without having a negative impact on climate change? As an industry organization, SEMI is on the case, and Manocha provided some details on the establishment of the Sustainable Advisory Council.

This SEMI Market intelligence Report podcast features Sanjay Malhotra, Vice President of SEMI’s Corporate Marketing and the Market Intelligence Team (MIT), and Christian Dieseldorff, Senior Principal Analyst. The conversation focuses on the World Fab Forecast, its history, how data is gathered, and how semiconductor manufacturers and suppliers use it to guide their business decisions.
Sanjay starts things off by recapping the Market Symposium at SEMICON West, and the midyear forecast presented there. He also shares how he used the World Fab Forecast during his years in the industry.
Christian talks about the outlook for new fabs and fab expansions, and how much this activity represents future capacity increases from both an actual and historical standpoint. Most importantly, he and Sanjay put fab expansion numbers and capacity into context.
Lastly, Christian talks about the impact of the US CHIPS and Science Act, and other global incentives around the world. He and Sanjay provide some valuable insights to consider when reviewing the World Fab Forecast to help listeners make the most of this useful tool.

A Conversation About the Role Veterans Can Play in the Microelectronics Industry Workforce
3D InCites Podcast
08/18/22 • 25 min
This podcast episode was recorded live at SEMICON West 2022 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, where critical discussions about the latest issues impacting the semiconductor industry took place.
Chips aren’t the only thing in short supply, the semiconductor industry talent shortage continues, and SEMI has launched a workforce initiative to address this. In this episode, Françoise von Trapp speaks with General Paul Funk and Major Ray Willson of the United States Army; and Larry Smith, Chairman of the board at TEL, who participated in a panel discussion at SEMICON West on the role military veterans can play in shoring up the microelectronics workforce.
All three guests share their Army stories, what it means to be a soldier for life, and about the important connections made there. They also talk about helping transitioning veterans from the military to civilian life, and what makes them so well suited for positions in microelectronics.
Smith provides a recap of the SEMI panel, who participated, and some of the key takeaways. He talked about the semiconductor industry workforce image and awareness program, and how partnering with military veterans’ programs can form important connections that help veterans learn about the employment opportunities available to them.
General Funk talks about the lifelong connections that a career in the army allows affords, as well as the similarities of characteristics and skill sets that make veterans such ideal candidates for careers in the semiconductor industry. He describes some of the army programs that transition army veterans to civilian life. One of these programs is Soldier for Life.
Major Ray Willson provides more details on Soldier for Life, which connects the army with government and non-government organizations to influence policies, programs, and services for soldiers veterans, and families. He explains the three pillars in detail.

A Conversation about The Advantages of Collaboration between the Mexico and the US for Semiconductor Manufacturing
3D InCites Podcast
09/08/22 • 20 min
In this episode, Françoise speaks with Dr. Juan Terrazas, the Director of the College of Engineering at CETYS University about the benefits of cross-border manufacturing relationships between the US and Mexico to help alleviate the strains of the semiconductor crisis.
In the aftermath of President Biden’s signing of the CHIPS and Science Act, we’ve been seeing news articles about Mexico positioning itself to take advantage of the US’s desire to bring semiconductor manufacturing closer to home. According to these reports, Mexico is starting to offer incentives to tempt semiconductor manufacturers to open facilities there. The country is already the eighth largest producer of electronics. It’s also close to where companies like Intel and Samsung are already planning new facilities.
Many of these activities began before the chip crisis, with the onshoring efforts and the SHIP program we’ve talked about before on the podcast. Dr. Terrazas provides some insight on the microelectronics manufacturing capabilities in Mexico, and how the US can leverage these capabilities to bolster our domestic semiconductor supply chain. He also talks about the growing technical talent pool that can help solve some of the growing semiconductor workforce challenges.

A Conversation About Reshoring Advanced Packaging in the U.S.
3D InCites Podcast
08/12/21 • 55 min
The acronyms involving funding for semiconductor manufacturing are flying around Washington. There is the Chips for America Act, focused on re-shoring, The Facilitating American-Built Semiconductors (FABS) Act that promises tax credits for investments in, either equipment or fabs. and then there’s the $250 billion US Innovation and Competition Act, which earmarks $52bn for new chip manufacturing and research. This is now being debated in the House of Representatives. There’s a lot to unpack here – what we’re focusing on today is how all of this could impact advanced packaging and test in the US – To talk about this, we invited 3D InCites Community Members. Bob Patti, of Nhanced Semiconductor, Alan Huffman, of Micross Components, and Dick Otte, of QP Technologies.
The conversation covers a wide range of questions: Will the $52Bn be enough? How should those funds be best allocated? What will the impact be on small entities? Where will the workforce to support it come from? How do we create a US supply chain? Are we politicizing chip manufacturing? How do we ensure that Foundry 2.0 adds IP value and attracts new talent? Is the answer a vertically integrated advanced packaging company? Should we create a consortium of advanced packaging companies and use the government funding to fill in the gaps?
Tune in to hear the answers to these questions and much more.

In this special episode of the 3D InCites Podcast, in partnership with the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMAPS), we talk to Steve Kummerl,TI; and Mark Gerber, ASE, about the upcoming CHIPcon event which takes place July 24-27 in San Jose CA. This conference is a rebrand and restructuring of what was formerly the Advanced System in Packaging Symposium. Kummerl is the General Chair for the event, and Gerber is on the IMAPS Academic Committee. They are part of the team that put together a very robust agenda, with expert speakers from across the chiplet ecosystem.
CHIPCon stands for Chiplet Heterogeneous Integration and Packaging Conference. Kummerl and Gerber talk about the motivation for repositioning the conference, and how the speakers were selected to represent the end-to-end chiplet ecosystem. They also explain how CHIPCon is differentiated from the annual IMAPS International Device Packaging Conference. They provide some details of what attendees can expect to learn by attending this event.
Note that Early Bird Registration AND the hotel block ends today, June 30, 2023. Registration for both is found at www.chipcon.org.
