Intel faced some bad PR at the beginning of the month thanks to chip security vulnerabilities. Although initial reporting placed Intel uncomfortably in the spotlight, the discovery of hardware issues…
2018 will be a disruptive year for the semiconductor industry as the world transitions to new manufacturing methods to suit ever growing demands. Semiconductors are expected to change with the…
Analytics are one of the most practical advances of the modern age, but they’re only as effective as the way they’re used. The manufacturing industry is using them well, with…
Spintronics emerged as a research frontier in solid state physics in the 1980s. The difference between spintronics and conventional electronics is the focus on spin rather than charge. Spintronics devices…
The conductive adhesives market is forecasted to grow at a rate of 6.6%, fuelled by their direct impact upon emerging technology trends. Conductive adhesives play a critical role in semiconductor…
The more power microprocessors manage to put out, the smaller the industry expects them to be. The chip making sector is trying to solve the problem by packing transistors closer…
The flip chip (FC) packaging sector is projected to reach a little over US$ 31 billion by 2022, but demand for wafer level packaging (WLP) is soaring even higher. WLP…
A 2017 report predicts that the thermally conductive grease market will be worth over $416 million by 2022. Demand has been escalating as cooling needs increase and heat transference demands…
When the Heartbleed Bug ripped a hole in Open SSL cryptographic software, it exposed a frailty that encryption hadn’t yet solved. Attackers accessed the memory of software protections and snatched…
Semiconductor manufacturing relies on laser techniques for a range of applications. Manufacturers are relying so heavily on lasers that the market is expected to grow by a 15% compound annual…
