 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.

University of California, San Diego NanoEngineers won a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop the tools to manufacture biodegradable frames around which heart tissues -- functional blood vessels included -- will grow.
Metallic and semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) can be distinguished using a new imaging tool for rapidly screening the structures, researched at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University.
Jim Walker, research VP at Gartner, told attendees at the Gartner Semiconductor Briefing (11/4/10, San Jose, CA) that, after declining 14.7% in 2009, the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test services (OSATS) market will expand by 37% this year, and by 6.2% in 2011.
Bare die in yarn, comfortable electronics, stretchable interposers, washable photovoltaic clothes, and other elements will be on the table for the PASTA project to bring smart textiles from the lab to industrial manufacturability. Imec leads the program.
A team of University of Warwick researchers has found molecular hooks on the surface of graphene oxide that will potentially provide massive benefits to researchers using transmission electron microscopes (TEM). They could even be used in building molecular-scale mechanisms.
Nanoplas introduced a fully automatic dry-processing batch system for high-volume 200mm production. The DSB 9000A is based on Nanoplas’s High Density Radical Flux (HDRF) technology.
Dr. Meyya Meyyappan, chief scientist for exploration technology at the Center for Nanotechnology at NASA Ames Research Center, discussed his group’s research in carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nanowires, and phase-change memories (PCM), as well as a next-generation non-volatile resistive switching memory.
