Critical Materials Business and Technology Information 2019

4th Annual Critical Materials Council (CMC) Conference April 25-26 in Saratoga Springs, New York a must-attend for business and technology professionals concerned with global supply-chains for semiconductor manufacturing.

TECHCET will host the 4th annual Critical Materials Council (CMC) Conference April 25-26 at the Saratoga Hotel and Casino in Saratoga Springs, New York. At the CMC Conference, business visionaries and manufacturing technologists gather to address current and future materials challenges. The latest forecasts on market drivers including trade issues, along with technical issues facing the global materials supply-chain, will be shown. 
 

The public CMC Conference follows private CMC face-to-face meetings to be held April 23-24, 2019 at GlobalFoundries in Malta, New York. Themes are centered around the needs of the Critical Materials Council and the global IC fabrication industry. While executive conferences typically focus on the "what" and "why" of materials technologies, this conference will discuss "how" new materials can be controllably, safely, and cost-effectively used in fabs.

The CMC Conference this year will feature a keynote presentation on "International Supply-Chain Management Challenges," by Dr. John Pellerin, Deputy CTO and VP of Worldwide R&D of GlobalFoundries.

Other featured presentations include: 
  • Tim Yeakley, ESH Policy Manager, Texas Instruments, on "Global Materials Regulation Issues,"
  • Dr. Karl Robinson, Director of Process Engineering, IMEC, on "Materials Engineering in CMOS and Beyond-CMOS Applications,"
  • Dr. Bryan Rice, VP of Product Integration, Inpria Corp., on "EUV Photolithography Materials Integration,"
  • G. Dan Hutcheson, CEO, VLSI Research, on "Slowdown: When did it start? What drove it? and When will the recovery come?" and
  • Gus Richard, Managing Director, Northland Securities, on "Macroeconomics & Drivers Influencing the Electronics Industry."
Attendees from fabs, OEMs, and materials suppliers alike will have the opportunity to interact with the presenters and colleagues, to gain insights into best-practices of the entire supply-chain.

Register now at the early-bird rate of just $395: https://cmcfabs.org/cmc-events/

Semiconductor Materials Market will be +3% to $50.4B in 2019

TECHCET-the electronic materials advisory services firm providing business and technology information- announced that global revenues for semiconductor manufacturing and packaging materials are expected to grow 3.1% year-over-year (YoY) in 2019 to US$50.4B, of which 58% represents semiconductor fab materials. Steadily increasing demand for memory chips in 2018 lifted total materials market revenues to US$48.9B in 2018, while the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2023 is forecast at 4.3% as detailed in the latest TECHCET Critical Materials Reports (CMR) and shown in the attached figure.


Global trade issues in 2018 run the risk of devolving into real trade wars, if governments and companies do not negotiate business terms from a place a mutual respect. "Wars can only have winners and losers," reminded Lita Shon-Roy, TECHCET President and CEO. "While issues can have win-win resolutions after mutually-respectful negotiations." 


At the 2018 Critical Materials Council (CMC) Seminar, held last October in Ningbo, China in coordination with China's IC Materials Technology Innovation Alliance (ICMtia), representatives of global chip-makers including Intel, GlobalFoundries, and Texas Instruments discussed ways to ensure electronic materials supply-chain robustness in an era of short-sighted protectionist tariffs. All three companies have high-volume manufacturing (HVM) fabs in mainland China along with the US, and all need to source a wide range of specialty materials from global suppliers.

During private face-to-face meetings between CMC fab members in Ningbo, held just after the public CMC Seminar, ON Semiconductor shared that they have a plan prepared to deal with tariffs goings into effect at different levels. Established HVM chip fabs must keep sourcing specialty materials regardless of political whims, because our modern world relies on a steady supply of semiconductor devices to maintain our communications, entertainment, health-care, and transportation infrastructures.
