Cloud, and Edge computing technologies has helped to usher in new
smart manufacturing applications
like real-time FDC on the cloud, AI
trace analytics, Remaining Useful

Yield Prediction. These applications
are improving fab efficiency and
they have become far more prevalent
in smart manufacturing fab operations. However, these improvements
are often limited to an individual

SEMI’s 50th Anniversary: The Beginning
The origins of SEMI can be traced
to a meeting at an IEEE event on
the East Coast in March of 1970.
According to a short memoir penned
by co-founder and first president
Bill Hugle titled “SEMI – The Early
Years,” a group gathered in Hugle
Industries’ booth and decided they
