 Environment, Safety & Health Date and time TBD The semiconductor industry is an acknowledged global leader in promoting environmental sustainability in the design, manufacture, and use of its products, as well as the health and safety of its operations and impacts on workers in semiconductor facilities (fabs). We will examine trends and concerns related to emissions, chemical use, energy consumption and worker safety and health.

FEI's new Vion plasma focused ion beam (PFIB) system based on inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) source technology using a xenon ion beam generates more than a micro-amp of beam current and can remove material faster than liquid metal ion sources, says product marketing manager Peter Carleson.
Apple bought the most semiconductors of all original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in 2010, largely to build iPhones and iPads, according to IHS iSuppli (NYSE: IHS) research. This is Apple's first trip to the #1 spot, after being third in 2009 and sixth in 2008.
SuVolta is tackling the low-power challenge of mobile SoC devices with its PowerShrink platform and undoped, deeply depleted channel (DDC) technology. Scott Thompson, SuVolta, says DDC technology produces high performance at low voltage because it enables inversion charge to move from source to drain without scattering with dopants. The undoped channel and screening regions provide threshold voltage variation as good as the best fully-depleted SOI and fully-depleted FinFET research devices.
UC San Diego researchers developed a phase change memory (PCM) solid-state storage device (SSD) that claims 7x speed improvement over current SSDs. The project has backing from Micron Technology, BEEcube, and Xilinx.
