PerFluoroalkyl and Polyfluoro Alkyl Substances (PFAS) are vital to the semiconductor industry due to their unique and unparalleled properties. They are used throughout the entire semiconductor manufacturing supply chain. Although some PFAS pose a risk to health and the environment, they have come under increased scrutiny by regulators and government bodies around the world, unfortunately, in a very politicized way.
5 Key Vulnerabilities in the Semiconductor Supply Chain
There’s an ongoing push to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain, but making gains in that area is not as straightforward as some people initially believed. Here are five of the top vulnerabilities for the semiconductor sector to solve.
The Chip Shortage Wake-up Call
An extreme hypothetical scenario of complete disruption of Taiwanese foundries for one year could cause the global electronics supply chain to come to a halt.
Semiconductor Manufacturing in the U.S.
In the middle of an ongoing pandemic and global trade war, the U.S. is looking to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
