SEMICON West 2026 took place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from October 13 to 15, 2026. Participating in a U.S. exhibition for the first time, CHEMFISH showcased fluorinated fluids, ALD/CVD precursors, electronic specialty gases, and wet electronic chemicals at Booth #6749 in the North Hall, presenting a comprehensive range of materials solutions for front-end semiconductor manufacturing.

Located near Silicon Valley, the exhibition brought together participants from a region home to leading technology companies such as Google, Apple, NVIDIA, and Intel. CHEMFISH welcomed representatives from local semiconductor materials companies, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals to its booth. During the exhibition, an Apple representative also invited the team to a follow-up meeting after the event.

At the booth, the CHEMFISH team highlighted fluorinated fluids as alternatives to 3M products, alongside materials for ALD and CVD thin-film deposition, electronic specialty gases, and wet chemicals. Discussions with industry visitors covered trace impurity control in advanced semiconductor processes, fluid stability, and process compatibility, providing opportunities to exchange technical insights and explore potential collaboration.

Following the exhibition, the CHEMFISH team continued its visit to Silicon Valley, meeting with several local semiconductor R&D organizations and battery companies. These visits offered a closer look at North American manufacturing and supporting supply chains. Face-to-face discussions with technical and procurement representatives strengthened the initial contacts established at the exhibition and helped move technical conversations toward practical cooperation, product qualification, and implementation.
