SEMI Standards
With the proceeds generated by the show, the SEMI founders realized a unique opportunity to re-invest in their industry, and launched the SEMI Standards program. From its earliest successes in standardizing silicon wafers to current efforts in factory automation and software, the SEMI International Standards program has been helping to ensure open markets and lower semiconductor manufacturing costs for over 30 years. SEMI Standards have also facilitated the development of new industries, including the now pervasive foundry manufacturing model.

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens, a substantial part of its whole population, who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life. I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
