Podcast EP333: A Look at the Broad, Worldwide Impact SEMI Has on the Semiconductor Industry with Ajit Manocha
Daniel is joined by Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI, the global industry association serving the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing and design supply chain. Throughout his career, Manocha has been a champion of industry collaboration as a critical means of advancing technology for societal and economic prosperity. He began his career at AT&T Bell Laboratories as a research scientist and was granted more than a dozen patents related to semiconductor manufacturing processes that served as the foundation for modern microelectronics manufacturing.
Ajit discusses his AT&T Bell Laboratories roots and the focus on “connect, collaborate, innovate” that the organization instilled. He explains that he found this same focus at SEMI, which drew him closer to the organization to become its president and CEO. Dan explores the substantial impact SEMI has on the semiconductor industry. Ajit describes broad coalitions between SEMI members, governments and academia to address key issues such as talent pool growth, energy reduction and reduction of harmful compounds such as PFAS. The collaboration with the United Nations and the EU is also described.
