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.

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.

A Conversation about Microelectronics Events of the Future
3D InCites Podcast
09/09/21 • 25 min
In a global industry that relies heavily on collaboration, COVID 19 created a big pause and pivot in one of the key business development tools of the microelectronics industry: technology conferences and trade shows. In this podcast, we’re talking to several industry event organizers to get their take on the past year of what worked, what didn’t, and thoughts about the future of industry events as we transition back to in-person meetings.
Rich Rice, head of marketing for North America at ASE, represented IMAPS as he completes his year as society president. He talked about the challenge of providing the type of content expected by its members in a new and interesting way. Dave Anderson, President of the Americas for SEMI, offers some insight on the advantages of virtual events with regard to tracking and metrics, and how SEMI has worked to improve the experience for its members throughout the pandemic.
We talk about how everyone is craving a return to face-to-face activities, how that may roll out with local events first, hopefully, followed by international events, and how to implement a hybrid model going forward. We also talk about how the combination of COVID and an increased concern for a sustainable future is impacting how our industry conducts business, and what that may mean for business travel going forward.
