Semiconductor Digital Twin Workshop 

Digital Twin technology has gained significant traction in a variety of industries and is now in its early stages of adoption by the semiconductor industry. In this workshop, we will hear from across the ecosystem (OEMs, Platforms, end users, and more) as to the various levels of Digital Twins needed, the development challenges, opportunities, and recommendations. The development of full tool or full-process level semiconductor digital twins is challenging but has the potential to significantly improve the productivity & quality of operations.

Primarily beneficial for developers, and end-users of DT’s to attend so that we can understand the challenges, and scope of development effort required to create and deploy such DT systems in manufacturing.

Hosted by the SEMI Smart Manufacturing Initiative.
