One hundred twenty-seven subsemilattices and planarity

Let $L$ be a finite $n$-element semilattice. We prove that if $L$ has at least $127\cdot 2^{n-8}$ subsemilattices, then $L$ is planar. For $n>8$, this result is sharp since there is a non-planar semilattice with exactly $127\cdot 2^{n-8}-1$ subsemilattices.
