If you read my blog posts or follow me on LinkedIn, you probably know that I’m passionate about the intersection of materials science and sustainability. AI, not so much. I attended SEMI’s Strategic Materials Conference this month and came away with a new perspective on AI and what it can...
When prepping for this month’s sustainability blog, the song, June is Busting Out All Over, from Rogers and Hammerstein’s Carousel, kept running through my head; possibly as it’s in May, June, and July, when the majority of companies sustainability reports are released. Once the reports are released, the sustainability experts...
For our industry to fully embrace environmental sustainability, we need the entire supply chain involved. The industry giants can make all the proclamations they want, but without the support of their suppliers and their suppliers’ suppliers, they will find it very difficult to achieve their goals. Equipment is central to...
MILPITAS, Calif. — December 12, 2023 — SEMI, the global industry association representing the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, today announced recipients of the 2023 SEMI Sustainability Excellence Award. SEMI President and CEO Ajit Manocha selected the award recipients based on their inspirational leadership and innovative approaches to expanding sustainability practices...
Progress in Sustainability has become one of SEMI’s key focus points in supporting its members. It was initiated with a series of keynotes at SEMICON West in 2019, followed by the formation of the SEMI Sustainability Initiative, to help bring focus to the Startups for Sustainability venture capital programs. And...

(NASDAQ: LRCX) today announced it has been recognized for its environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance with its inclusion on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America (DJSI North...
You may be familiar with the concept of Design for Manufacturing or Design for Manufacturability. I suspect that many 3D InCites readers have given less thought to Design for Sustainability (DfS). Why does DfS matter? It is essential to design with sustainability in mind because choices in materials, processes, and...
During the recent Applied Materials/SEMI Sustainability Forum, panelists touched on the fact that the big drivers of electronics — Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Facebook — are looking to cut carbon emissions across their supply chains. From a semiconductor perspective, this would include the energy and greenhouse gases used in...
Sustainability should start in the design phase. When engineers consider environmental impact during product design, they may be able to avoid toxic materials, reduce solvent and water use, improve energy efficiency during manufacturing, and make it easier to recover components at the end of the product’s life. But a design...
As part of our annual 3D InCites Awards program, we decided this year to turn the spotlight on two areas that we think are critical for the future of society: sustainable semiconductor manufacturing and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). These topics are so important that we chose to have the...
