SEMICON WEST 2024 took place in San Francisco from July 9 to 11. The event featured presentations from representatives of Indiana, Arizona, and New York on semiconductor industry reshoring and job creation in the United States. While these states have diverse political leanings - Indiana typically Republican, Arizona a swing state, and New York generally Democratic - they all delivered a consistent message regarding reshoring: a commitment to fostering semiconductor manufacturing industries.
Key technological issues highlighted at the event included the development of reducing agents for ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) processes using AI, advancements in quantum computing, and innovations in advanced packaging. These topics underscore the industry's focus on pushing the boundaries of semiconductor technology and manufacturing processes.
The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), a state-funded organization that promotes international trade and investment, organized the Korea Pavilion at SEMICON WEST 2024. This pavilion showcased over 10 Korean companies, highlighting the country's significant presence in the global semiconductor industry.
