T02500 - SEMI T25 - Specification for Blockchain for Semiconductor Supply Chain Traceability

 1  Purpose1.1  Semiconductor devices are widely used in many end products such as networking equipment, medical devices, automobiles, aircraft, and military equipment. Semiconductor devices are the most important components in end products. Semiconductor devices shall be manufactured correctly. Semiconductor devices shall be distributed correctly, shall be mounted, and function properly in the end products in which they are used. The manufacture and distribution of counterfeit devices is a major problem. To solve this problem, supply chain traceability shall be realized. It is impossible for a single device manufacturer to achieve supply chain traceability for semiconductor devices. Similarly, it cannot be achieved by a single end-product manufacturer. It requires the cooperation of device manufacturers, material suppliers, distributors, intermediate product manufacturers, and end-product manufacturers.1.2  Semiconductor devices are required to achieve supply chain traceability.
