Are You Ready for an Onslaught of Virtual Events?

From basic webinars and Zoom happy hours (like our SemiSister Social Hour above), to full-blown technical conferences, trade shows, and even some hybrids, we’ve all been dabbling in virtual events for about six months now.

How Do We Improve Gender Diversity and Inclusion in the Semiconductor Industry?

One year ago today, I was sitting with David Butler and Kevin Crofton, of SPTS, at the company headquarters in Newport, Wales, talking about the whirlwind year they’d just had, how well the company was doing since the merger of STS and Aviza, and the advantages of being part of...

And in My Spare Time…..

Things have been pretty crazy lately, what with wearing several hats and all. I spent two days in Silicon Valley last week visiting some companies on behalf of Chip Scale Review, and also at SEMI for an Advanced Packaging Committee meeting for SEMICON West to hammer out the 3D program. ...

Calling All 3D and Advanced Packaging Groupies: Your Input is Requested!

Here’s the great thing about establishing a community like 3D InCites: you’ve suddenly got the people who care the most about the topic literally at your fingertips. That’s one of the reasons SEMI came to me for advice on setting up the 3D IC and advanced packaging programs at SEMICON...
