 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.

Wafer Processing Date and time TBD As the industry moves to 10nm and 7nm nodes, advances in wafer processing etch, deposition, planarization, implant, cleaning, annealing, epitaxy among others will be required. Manufacturers are looking for new solutions for sustained strain engineering, FinFETs, FDSOI and multi-gate technologies, 3D NAND, and high mobility transistors.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) George Mason University (GMU) researchers are studying the optimal characteristics of silicon nanowires and dielectric stacks for charge-trapping memory.
MIT and University of Augsburg researchers discovered that layered insulators lanthanum aluminate and strontium titanate create a capacitance -- at room temperature -- that cannot be explained by existing physics. The discovery could create entirely new transistors that do not rely on silicon semiconductors.
CMOS image sensors did not see the same strong rebound in 2010 that the semiconductor industry at large experienced. New momentum, driven by new system applications outside of camera phones and digital still cameras, could focus CMOS image sensors on growth from 2011 on, says IC Insights.
Three chairs of IITC-MAM, opening next week in Germany, share details on papers attendees won't want to miss. Among the hot-button technologies are through silicon via (TSV) integration, RC performance, carbon interconnects, and pushing traditional technologies farther (think lithography).
