Abstract:
The IoT/Edge Compute Era has ushered in an order of magnitude increase in connected devices each year compared to
smart mobile devices. With this comes great challenges in processing data at the edge with connected devices, the need
for intelligence and security in those devices, all with an eye toward sustainability. These formidable challenges create great
opportunities for innovation. For semiconductor foundries, this is the first compute era not dominated by single digit
nanometer technology, rather by creating compelling features on existing technologies to enable this connected, intelligent
and power efficient ecosystem. Building that ecosystem requires great R&D partnerships to deliver on the promise of this
future world

Abstract:
Increasing speed and scale to deliver on the future of specialty technologies.
Specialty technologies are ubiquitous – an essential connection between our physical and digital worlds. Poised to play an even bigger role in how we live and interact every day, it’s critical to accelerate device development and improve high volume manufacturing. However, as one of the most technically and geographically fragmented market segments, achieving greater speed and scale is challenging. It’s time to leverage the latest innovations including more advanced, application specific tools, virtual process development, and Equipment Intelligent® capabilities in the specialty technologies market to deliver on the future of a smaller, more connected world.
