In collaboration with its strategic partners, such as Japan\u2019s Neitas and Daikin, APES and AltaScient, GLS will focus on expanding and securing North America\u2019s semiconductor supply chain. Our logo has true meaning. Consisting of five elements the logo is so much more than a traditional logo. We all have 5 major senses, symbolic of the sensors GLS will be primarily manufacturing in our early years of operation. Also in Japanese culture, there are 5 elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, Water and the Void. In Chinese and Korean cultures, the 5 elements are: Earth, Fire, Water, Metal and Wood. Five Core Elements of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Process: Wafer Fabrication (front-end processing) Lithography (patterning) Deposition &amp; Etching (thin film processing) Interconnect and metallization Packaging and Testing (back-end processing) The Five Core Business Principles of Great Lakes Semiconductor: Innovation &amp; integration \u2013 the smooth, rounded edges represent seamless integration of our semiconductor technologies with the United States&#8217; high-tech industry. Collaboration &amp; connectivity \u2013 reflecting the interconnected nature of semiconductor manufacturing and the broader supply-chain ecosystem especially in the technology park. Fluidity &amp; Precision \u2013 inspired by the Great Lakes, the rounded edges could symbolize water, fluidity, and precision engineering in chip fabrication. Balance of tradition &amp; future \u2013 the logo is a modern version of the maple leaf as an element of United States&#8217; identity, while the rounded edges modernize and soften it for a forward- looking vision. Scalability &amp; growth \u2013 the curves also suggest adaptability and growth., essential for a Class 1000 Pocket Fab as well as a major Class 1 cleanroom evolving from prototype to production. Finally, the five elements symbolize the five great personal influences on Dr. Thurston in conceptualizing and making this disruptive business a reality: E. Lawton Thurston, Jr., Yvonne Thurston, Jerry R. Junkins, Akira Ishikawa, and Dr. Chung-mou (Morris) Chang.
