Who we are
SemiTech-Insights are partner brands founded by members of the Natcast Research Team — a group recognized for shaping national semiconductor research and innovation initiatives.
Together, we bring decades of experience spanning semiconductor R&D, advanced manufacturing, AI-enabled design, and policy development.
Our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between technology insight and strategic execution.
We help industry, government, and academia make informed decisions that accelerate innovation, strengthen supply chains, and build the semiconductor ecosystem of the future.
Our Origin
Born from the collaborative spirit of Natcast, our team launched and led multiple high-impact programs in semiconductor design, packaging, metrology, and AI-driven R&D.
After Natcast’s transition, we came together to preserve that momentum — forming a consulting partnership dedicated to continuing the mission of advancing U.S. semiconductor leadership through research alignment, collaboration, and innovation.
Our Vision
To become a trusted partner in shaping the next generation of semiconductor strategy, where technology, insight, and policy intersect to drive meaningful progress
We believe innovation thrives when science, engineering, and business work together — and our role is to make those connections real and actionable through our values:
Integrity: We act with honesty, transparency, and accountability in every engagement.
Collaboration: We believe the best solutions emerge from shared expertise and open communication.
Innovation: We challenge convention, think ahead, and embrace change as the catalyst for progress.
Impact: We focus on results that matter — measurable outcomes that drive technological and economic growth.
Our Partners and advisors are industry veterans from leading semiconductor and research organizations — including Intel, IBM, GlobalFoundries, AMD, and academic institutions.
Collectively, we have 250 years of combined experience, 200+ publications, and 50+ patents driving progress in nanosheet integration, EUV lithography, packaging, and AI-based R&D.
Beyond technical expertise, we bring a track record of building programs, connecting institutions, and delivering results that shape the global semiconductor landscape.
