About SEMATECH
SEMATECH is the world's catalyst for accelerating the commercialization of technology innovations into manufacturing solutions.

By setting global direction, creating opportunities for flexible collaboration, and conducting strategic R&D, SEMATECH delivers significant return on investment to our semiconductor and emerging technology partners.

What we do
At SEMATECH, we work with our members and partners to reduce the time from innovation to manufacturing. Our role is to address critical challenges in advanced technology and manufacturing effectiveness, and to find ways to speed development, reduce costs, share risks, and increase productivity.

How we do it
Semiconductor and emerging technology research is both high cost and high risk. Our membership represents about half of the world's semiconductor production, and in addition we have built a global network of alliances with equipment and material suppliers, universities, research institutes, consortia, start-up companies, and government partners. Because we all face many of the same constraints and long-term concerns, we work together to leverage resources and keep the industry vital and growing ever stronger.

SEMATECH has a long history of delivering value; over the last two decades, we have focused on fostering innovation and assuring manufacturability by:

Executing strategies, delivering results

Driving the search for new materials, tools, and processes
Sponsoring benchmarking and standards efforts
Leveraging resources

Delivering immediate value by pooling resources for measurable results
Serving as the industry’s model for successful public/private partnerships
Partnering with suppliers, universities, and other consortia
Influencing the industry

Focusing the industry on the commercialization of advanced R&D research
Building common infrastructure solutions to minimize risk and lower cost.
