Speech Title and Abstract

Reinventing Fab Construction for Speed, Scale and the Next Semiconductor Era

AI may appear to run in the cloud, but its growth depends on physical infrastructure built at extraordinary speed and scale. Behind every advance in computing is a complex network of fabs, utilities, equipment and skilled people that must be designed, constructed and brought online. Yet rising facility complexity, tighter environmental requirements and constraints in water, engineering talent and construction capacity are challenging traditional approaches. This session will examine how AI, digital twins, automation and integrated data can change the economics and execution of fab construction, from project planning and equipment move-in to long-term operations and maintenance. The opportunity is not simply to build individual fabs faster, but to create a smarter and more repeatable system for delivering semiconductor capacity.
