Beyond the Chips: How Automation Supercharges Semiconductor Production Automation in Action
-
- Technology
Semiconductors are a backbone of our national economy. From government defense systems to our smart phones and computers, we rely on them in ways most of us rarely pause to consider. That's why the Biden administration and Congress have made it a top priority to boost the domestic manufacture of semiconductors. But semiconductors are notoriously complicated and expensive to produce. In this episode, we speak with Dave Jarzynka, CEO of Brooks Automation, a leading provider of precision robots that serve the global manufacturing of semiconductors. We’ll learn about the complexities and costs of manufacturing semiconductors, and how automation plays a key role in facilitating their production.
Key takeaways from this episode:
The scale of technologies semiconductors that enable, and why they are so important to the global economyThe nuances of semiconductor manufacturing, and the specialized environment of the Semiconductor Fabrication Plants (FABs) required for their productionHow AI and other emerging technologies may impact semiconductor demand and manufacturing
