From smartphones to data centers, semiconductors sit at the core of modern life. Now, with the exponential growth in artificial intelligence (AI) applications, high-performance computing and advanced memory are driving a new wave of demand for semiconductor chips—and stretching the limits of traditional manufacturing processes in semiconductor fabrication facilities, also called “fabs.”

Industry groups project global wafer-fabrication equipment spending will set new records in 2025 as manufacturers add capacity to support AI and advanced packaging, like those driven by the latest chip designs. In addition to industry-leading trends like chiplets, hybrid bonding, and 3D integration, technologies like silicon photonics and co-packaged optics (CPOs) will reshape how chips are interconnected, driving new requirements for yield, flatness, and thermal stability. Meeting these needs requires not just new tools, but also new materials that can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and shorten time-to-yield.

“3M collaborates and innovates with our customers and eco-system partners to push the boundaries of materials science to help them unlock new efficiencies across the fab,” said Lung Lin, vice president of 3M Display and Electronics. “From cleaner, flatter surfaces for next-generation interconnects, to smarter thermal solutions, our innovations are designed to help improve process stability and deliver efficiency. And as new technologies like silicon photonics and co-packaged optics emerge, we’re ready to help our customers integrate them with confidence.”

Materials that enable efficiency across the fab

For decades, 3M has partnered with semiconductor manufacturers to deliver advanced materials that support cleaner processes, higher yields, and greater throughput. Today, our portfolio spans multiple stages of wafer manufacturing:

  • CMP materials (pads, and composite systems): Enable precise planarization—these polishing materials smooth each wafer layer so the next one can be built on a perfectly flat surface.
  • Pad conditioners: Maintain pad performance and uniformity—these pads act like “refreshening” tools to keep polishing pads effective, making sure that wafers are polished evenly.
  • Wafer support systems including bonding and protective tapes: Support wafer thinning, handling, and backside processing—these tapes hold wafers securely during processing, then the tapes remove easily
  • Heat-resistant tapes: Safeguards sensitive parts of the chip through soldering, molding, and high-temperature processing.

Each of these solutions reflects 3M’s ability to apply deep expertise in abrasives, adhesives, and thermal management to some of the most complex manufacturing environments in the world.

Aligning with industry trends

Global shifts are reinforcing the need for advanced semiconductor materials:

  • AI and packaging growth: As AI chips get larger and pull in more memory, the connections between different parts of the chips need to be ultra-precise, requiring extremely flat, clean, and bondable wafer surfaces that fit and work together reliably.
  • 3D integration and chiplets: Instead of just making chips smaller, manufacturers are stacking them and linking smaller chiplets together, driving new approaches to stacking and interconnecting. Materials that support precision bonding and stable wafer handling are increasingly critical.
  • Silicon photonics and co-packaged optics: Integrating optical and electronic components into the same package will redefine how chips communicate, and 3M can apply its expertise in bonding, thermal management, and precision handling as technology advances.

From wafer to workload

As the semiconductor industry scales to meet AI demand, efficiency gains at the fab level ripple outward. Materials that extend pad life, stabilize thermal performance, and enable reliable wafer handling not only save time and resources in production, they also help speed the availability of next-generation chips.

At the same time, AI’s rapid adoption is fueling new energy demands downstream. The International Energy Agency projects that global data center electricity use could more than double by 2030, with AI noted as a leading driver. That’s why 3M’s broader energy solutions, including sensored cable accessories, and optical interconnects—complement our semiconductor offerings. Together, they support a more sustainable digital infrastructure, from the wafer fabrication to the data center.

3M is committed to advancing the semiconductor industry through materials innovation. By enabling efficiency, improving reliability, and supporting environmental goals, we help manufacturers meet the needs of today’s AI-driven era—and prepare for the technologies still to come.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Former U.S. Ambassador Nina Hachigian, who served as the first U.S. Special Representative for City and State Diplomacy and as Los Angeles’ Deputy Mayor for International Affairs, today announced the launch of the Alliance for Local Leaders International (ALLIES). This nonpartisan nonprofit empowers local and state leaders to collaborate across borders, share practical solutions, and strengthen ties with U.S. and international counterparts.

 

As global dynamics grow more unpredictable, mayors, governors, county officials, and other local elected leaders must be both aware of and engaged in international affairs to best serve their residents. From managing natural disasters to attracting foreign investment and navigating outreach by the People’s Republic of China, local officials are increasingly facing global challenges. With 70 percent of the world’s population projected to live in cities by 2050, the influence and responsibility of local leaders will only continue to expand.

“Local elected leaders are on the front lines. From extreme weather to economic downturns, mayors and governors are the first responders,” said Ambassador Hachigian. “ALLIES is the support system for local elected leaders who need to do this international lifting.”

Through ALLIES, U.S. and global state and local leaders gain the connections, infrastructure, and knowledge needed to solve shared challenges and take advantage of shared opportunities. ALLIES empowers leaders to mitigate risks and exchange effective responses to their most pressing issues. 

Amid a rapidly changing landscape, ALLIES believes that the most powerful innovations often begin at the local level. By connecting the people closest to the problems, and often their solutions, ALLIES will help turn local leadership into a global force for stability, cooperation, and shared prosperity.
