Global industry giants gather at SEMICON Taiwan

Global Industry Giants Gather at SEMICON Taiwan 2024 to Create a New Semiconductor Supply Chain Landscape

SEMICON Taiwan 2024, organized by SEMI, the International Association of the Semiconductor Industry, will be held at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Hall 1 and 2 from September 4 to 6. This year, with the theme of “Empowering AI Without Limits,” we will explore how the key technologies driving the AI ​​era can lead to significant advances in contemporary technology and open a new chapter for the future of semiconductors.

According to SEMI data, the three major technologies of IoT, AI, and quantum computing are rapidly driving the growth of the semiconductor industry, and the market size is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030. Among them, AI will be a key driver of market growth in this decade. Cao Shilun, head of global marketing at SEMI, said: “The AI ​​wave has strengthened the market’s dependence on semiconductor technology, including advanced process nodes below 3 nanometers, advanced packaging technologies such as CoWos and Chiplet, and even emerging solutions such as silicon photonics and compound semiconductors. The semiconductor industry, from upstream to downstream, is working together to address current challenges and accelerate the implementation of AI applications.

Full link with the semiconductor ecosystem

As the largest international semiconductor exhibition in Taiwan Province, this year’s exhibition gathered more than 1,000 manufacturers and exhibited no less than 3,600 booths. Not only did the scale reach a new high, but it also fully demonstrated the high expectations and attention of the world to the development of this industry. semiconductors and high-tech technologies. With the enthusiastic participation and support of enterprises such as Colin R&D, Weinig Technology, KLA, Hanmin Technology, ASMPT, Merck, Innolux and Delta Electronics, the conference will showcase cutting-edge innovative semiconductor technologies and various intelligent applications, as well as reveal the latest global The integration and leap forward of technological trends.

16 major themes bring out a hundred flowers and the innovation zone embraces AI

This year’s exhibition plans 16 major themes, covering “green manufacturing”, “heterogeneous integration” and “talent cultivation”. In response to the current development trends of emerging technologies, this year’s new exhibits include “WBG Semiconductors”, “Silicon Photonics” and “Smart Mobile” and “Precision Machinery” and other exhibition themes. Among them, semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) have been developed for many years and have shown great potential in a wide range of electronic products and applications due to their high temperature, high pressure, high frequency, and high power characteristics. Silicon photonics technology, which has been the most discussed in recent years, has brought major breakthroughs in optical communications and computing; the new exhibition area “Smart Mobility Innovation Concept Area” takes the trend of electric vehicles as its starting point. point and invites Ford Motor and Kia Motors to jointly connect the automobile industry chain. Accelerate the configuration of the global automobile market.

In order to echo the annual theme of the conference and the AI ​​wave sweeping the world, this year’s Taiwan Semiconductor Expo also launched the “AI Semiconductor Technology Concept Zone” for the first time, and gathered leading semiconductor manufacturers in the AI ​​chip manufacturing supply chain to display the latest R&D technologies from various aspects. The powerful power that connects the AI ​​supply chain. In addition, an “AI Interactive Experience Zone” is also set up on site, using generative AI technology to allow visitors to experience time travel and witness the miracle of semiconductor evolution together with visitors.

Elites gather at international forums to lead semiconductor technology innovation

As the annual highlight of the semiconductor industry, the conference will gather elite business leaders to deliver speeches, hold more than 20 international forums, and invite global industry leaders from TSMC, ASE, MediaTek, Microsoft, SK Hynix, Samsung, Infineon, etc. Experts introduced industry insights, market innovation trends, and future semiconductor technologies in keynote speeches. Among more than 20 technology forums, including the highly anticipated 2024 International Heterogeneous Integration Summit International Forum, International Silicon Photonics Forum, and Semiconductor Advanced Process Technology Forum, exciting content will be launched on September 3, which is worth looking forward to.
