Podcast Episode #3: How fab is a sub-fab?
The Sub-fab – the part below the clean room, has a big influence on the quality of chip production and while it has always been highly regulated, requires meticulous planning and maintenance as well as adherence to health and safety standards, it's only now getting an upgrade.
As the industry increases output to meet soaring demand for chips, more and more focus is on the Sub-fab due to it being the part that uses the most energy and resources. In our latest episode our experts discuss how Semicon manufacturers are changing their ways to better manage energy, water, and chemicals, whilst also trying to reduce downtime and what this means for the supply chain.
Podcast Episode #2: Bringing home the chips
Without more fabs and the right talent, the Semicon industry will fail to achieve the exponential growth ahead.
The industry faces myriad challenges as it begins to build new fabs in Europe and the US. And the statistics show too few STEM graduates will be available to fill the roles of professionals, currently in their 50s, who are due to retire.
In this episode, our Semicon experts John Desmond and Lars Eger discuss the big issues and how these might be resolved if the industry get's to fulfil it's aim to nearshore production and 'bring home the chips'.
Podcast Episode #1: Resilience in the Semicon supply chain
In our debut episode, John Desmond and Tom Mulders—two of Kuehne+Nagel’s resident semiconductor experts—unravel the technology that has shaped this industry, how it is evolving, and the measures the industry and logistics providers are taking, to future-proof your semiconductor supply chain.
