Four events on two continents 🌎 ✈️! From May 5 to 12, X‑FAB colleagues have been travelling the world, presenting our specialty technologies, connecting with our communities and engaging with new partners.

The journey started in Erfurt, Germany at 💫 Quantum Photonics, exploring the potential of photonics to transform the next‑generation of computing and communication. At the same time, our team joined 💫 Sensors Converge in Santa Clara, USA to discuss the technologies enabling smarter and more connected systems. In Munich, Germany, we came together with the IC design community at 💫 CadenceCONNECT and 💫 U2U Siemens for insights and exchanges on EDA tools and design flows.

💡 Across all four events, one message was clear: working together and sharing our expertise really helps us innovate more quickly.

🙏🏻 A big thank you to everyone who connected with us, challenged us, and shared their perspectives.

High-mix semiconductor manufacturing is complex. 🎯 What if we could push prediction further and reduce remaining uncertainty?
At apc|m Europe, three X-FAB colleagues presented their perspectives on this challenge.

💭 Rethinking established models
Do operating curves still hold in high-mix fabs? Christian Schirrmann and Gero Grau’s analysis showed: reality is far more complex and variability reduction is the key driver.

🤖 From guesswork to machine learning
Traditional approaches struggle with constantly changing product designs. By combining Run-to-Run control with machine learning, Beatrice Beyer demonstrated how we can predict polishing times before the first wafer is processed and safe time and afford in high mix fabs.

🔬 Smarter monitoring in the fab
Integrating advanced sensors into our fault detection and classification (FDC) systems helps detect issues like oxygen contamination early. Martin Stoll illustrated how to improve process control and yield.

High-mix fabs challenge many established assumptions. ➡️ Where do you currently see the biggest gap between theory and fab reality? Is it modeling, variability, or the limits of available data?

First‑time‑right doesn’t happen by chance. 🍀

In analog, mixed‑signal and high‑voltage designs, success is rarely about a single tool. As Lars Bergmann, Director Business Development and former Head of Design Support, puts it: “What really drives first‑time‑right is alignment between technology, PDK quality and the EDA design flow/ecosystem which designers actually use every day.”

That’s why our experts are engaging face‑to‑face with the design community in Munich, Germany this May exchanging experiences, not just presentations.

Meet us at:
📍 CadenceCONNECT - May 6
📍 Siemens EDA User2User Europe - May 12

If you’re there, let’s talk design enablement, PDK quality and first‑time‑right methodology. And do not miss Robin Wetzler's speaker slot on robust memory design on May 12, 11.45 a.m.

Last week in Paris, more than 150 stakeholders from the semiconductor ecosystem came together for the first Regional Semiconductor Conference – showing that innovation thrives on strong collaboration. 👏🏻

X-FAB was pleased to contribute, with Sébastien Daveau, CEO of X FAB France, joining the panel “Beyond Moore’s Law: What strategies for the Paris Region ecosystem?” 🗨️ The discussion highlighted the Paris Region’s strengths: research excellence, a solid manufacturing base and a clear focus on high value specialization, including advanced materials and photonics.

💡One key takeaway: building resilient, high value semiconductor ecosystems is a shared ambition and an essential complement to global supply chains.

Thank you to all partners and participants for the open dialogue and forward-looking insights.
