The Future Of Semiconductor Manufacturing: How AI And Industry Collaboration Are Reshaping The Value Chain
By John Kibarian - 14 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry stands at an inflection point. As Moore's Law scaling becomes increasingly challenging and system complexity explodes through advanced packaging and chiplet-based architectures, the traditional siloed approach to manufacturing must give way to an unprecedented level of industry collaboration. This transformation, driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence, c... » read more

The semiconductor industry has always been a story of constant evolution, titans rising and falling, technologies advancing at breakneck speed, and billions of dollars riding on the difference between first and second place. And today, AI, geopolitics and the increased need for collaboration are reshaping the chip industry once again. After more than three decades navigating the complexities... » read more

From Latency To Reaction: Simulating The Next Wafer Demand Inflection
By Sungho Yoon - 21 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry faces an unprecedented paradox: AI demand is booming, fab investments are rising, yet wafer shipments remain stubbornly flat. What's driving this disconnect, and when will it break? As of mid-2025, the global silicon wafer market appears calm on the surface, but underlying structural tensions are quietly mounting. The demand for AI semiconductors remains resilient,... » read more

Baby, It’s Hot Outside!
By Paul Carpine - 31 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Electronics manufacturing production sites are ideal places to be during the summer because they maintain controlled temperatures. It’s well known that 23°C (74°F) is the ideal temperature inside electronics manufacturing areas. However, when the outside temperature reaches 40°C (104°F), the air conditioning system may struggle to maintain this lower value indoors. Many companies estab... » read more

Semiconductor Manufacturing’s Transformational Challenges
By John Kibarian - 14 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor manufacturing is going through massive transformational challenges driven by strong demand for advanced computing, fueled by AI, cloud, the electrification of the economy, and the need for compute power in data centers to support these applications. With the slowdown of Moore’s Law, more compute power will not be achieved by just increasing transistor density. Not only is Moo... » read more

By Melissa Grupen-Shemansky - 19 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Melissa Grupen-Shemansky, Pushkar Apte, and Mark da Silva Use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) is on an exponential rise across fields1 including all aspects of the semiconductor industry. In the last decade, the use of ML/AI exploded in the areas of speech recognition, facial recognition, smart phone features, search engines and now large language models like Chat... » read more

Important Process Parameter And Its Sensitivity Check By Virtual Fabrication: Channel Hole Profile Impact On Advanced 3D NAND Structure
By Coventor - 19 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

A virtual DOE-based process sensitivity check was performed for two tiers of channel holes in a 3D NAND device. The channel hole tilt distance, twist angle, and their sensitivities to the visible area in silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide (SONO) punch process were analyzed. The results show that controlling the upper tilt distance is more important for offering a larger visible area. Also, a negative ... » read more

Transforming Semiconductor Manufacturing: How AI And ML Boost Productivity And Beat The Skill Shortage
By David Park - 16 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

In the fast-paced world of semiconductor manufacturing, where innovation and efficiency are essential, there is a serious challenge – the persistent skilled labor shortage. As evident by billboards looking for workers along major highways, this shortage is not just a concern but a pressing reality. Semiconductor manufacturers in the United States face a multifaceted problem—tightened... » read more

Reducing Greenhouse Gases In Manufacturing
By Jessica Albright - 19 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Businesses must reduce their environmental impact. One of the most significant ways to do this is by reducing their carbon footprint, and this starts with monitoring carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are responsible for 81% of overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and businesses are responsible for a lot of it. The rest of the GHG emissions are methane (10%), nitrous oxide (7%) and fluorin... » read more
