As we enter a New Year, we can look back on another year of solid accomplishment at IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing. I am happy to report that our impact factor remains steady at 2.70, and our mean time to first decision remains competitive at 8.3 weeks. Our Editorial Board remains as strong as ever, with the addition of Dr. Jun-Haeng Lee in the area of machine learning and data science applications in 2023, and we are actively seeking new board members. Our submissions remain strong, as do the special sections from conferences (ASMC, ISSM and CS-MANTECH). The Special Issue on Production-Level Artificial Intelligence Applications in Semiconductor Manufacturing appeared in the November issue, and two additional special issues are in preparation. Prof. Duane Boning of MIT and Dr. Bill Nehrer of Technology Consultancy are co-editing a special issue on “Semiconductor Design for Manufacturing,” which will be a collaborative effort with the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. Drs. Oliver Patterson of Intel and Tomasz Brozek of PDF Solutions are also co-editing a special issue on sustainable semiconductor manufacturing. We are also happy to announce the Best paper Award for 2023, in the companion editorial appearing in this issue. Congratulations to all the honorees, and we hope we will continue to see their submissions in the future. Our thanks go to Drs. Jeanne Bickford, Dragan Djurdjanovic and Mahadeva Iyer Natarajan for their work on this committee.
