NXP CEO explains why Europe can never produce chips independently : https://lnkd.in/e6wJVxU7 CEOs Jean-Marc Chéry of STMicroelectronics, Jochen Hanebeck of Infineon Technologies, and Kurt Sievers of NXP Semiconductors argue that their companies are less certain about the future. This is because of the rise of more nationalistic industrial policies over the past decade, which created a major obstacle to do business with other countries and regions. The three CEOs participated in a joint panel at SEMICON Europe in Munich, Germany, which Reuters reported. #semiconductor #manufacturing #technology #innovation #chips  #semiconductormanufacturing #advancedtechnology #engineering #lithography #nanometer #research #development #AI  #mobileprocessors #EUV #DUV

It was a pleasure to speak at the #SEMICONEuropa Fab Management Forum this year. The key messages of my presentation on how to approach modern #fab #trends for tools in #longterm #operation in three points: 1️⃣ Equipment in long-term operation is valuable AND outdated in many ways. Underlaying software may no longer be supported, #HMIs looked different in early 2000s and operators require deep knowledge of the system and hardware needs to be repared and EOL parts to be exchanged. At the same time, the tool is already in existence, placed in the production hall and well-known. 2️⃣ Modern fab trends: 🔷 High degree in #connectivity - #SECSGEM, #GEM300 🔷 #Cybersecurity (SEMI E187, SEMI E188 and SEMI E191) 🔷 Advanced data collection and analysis (#EDA) 🔷 Higher degree of #automation (#AGV, #OHT) These trends aim for cost reduction, high product output and process reliability. However, they currently cannot be met with all tools. A decision has to be made: New equipment or retrofit - and retrofit is the commercially more sustainable solution. 3️⃣ #SEMI-compliant connectivity, intuitive modern and future-proof control software and hardware upgrades and exchanges during a #retrofit set your equipment up for success, improving and securing its #availability and enabling the trends mentioned above for your whole fab. By scheduling retrofits with reasonable anticipation, the period for the #refurbishment can be reduced and unexpected downtimes will be avoided. A retrofit with us is a whole system approach, from #requirements anaysis for software and hardware, to project #realization, #commissioning and #support. We help you with the tools that no longer supported by OEMs. For more information, please contact Maximilian Junge, Frank Geissler or Roman Olwig Kontron AIS GmbH #semiconductor
