Semiconductors are going to be essential for Humanity, yet the semiconductor industry is at a crossroad, Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs/"forever chemicals") are still one of many things that harms our environment but also important in manufacturing chips. I believe he is aware of it and so is the industry, and they are actively researching ways to find a PFAs-free alternative. However, it's clearly a tough challenge, which is why I believe his take on strong industry collaboration to solve pain points that is plaguing humanity and the planet, especially with the decade of Quantum Computing coming closer each year. "IoT was the growth driver in the last decade. This decade is one of AI, and what you’re seeing today is merely the tip of the iceberg, and that's going to take this growth to US$1 trillion," -Ajit Manocha. #semiconductor #quantumcomputing #AI #semiconSEA2024
Ajit Manocha, CEO and President of SEMI, noted that the global semiconductor industry, driven by IoT, AI, and Quantum Computing, is on track to reach US$1 trillion by 2030. He added that achieving this growth will require strong industry collaboration, as these forces are expected to double semiconductor sales from US$500 billion in just five years. #semiconductor #quantumcomputing #AI #iot
