The semiconductor industry’s waste affects the earth as much as it does manufacturers’ bank accounts. Chip manufacturing results in emissions of ammonia, highly reactive hydrogen peroxide, and corrosive acids, among…
Advanced packaging developed as a means of improving device performance while shrinking packages at the same time. Improvements continue along this track. To understand where we are today, let's go…
Japan is still holding onto its decades-long grip on the electronics industry amidst South Korea and Taiwan’s rivalry. Its five tech titans manufacture 80% of all component-mounting robots. A diminutive…
Silicon integrated circuitry can transfer information over tremendous distances at the cost of an ever more economical manufacturing process. Silicon photonics will revolutionize computing, sensing, and data centers—worthy goals in…
The global semiconductor industry’s fab equipment spending is soaring to meet manufacturing demand. Intel is parting with its cash in buckets, followed by second and third place spenders, Samsung and…
Mergers and acquisitions have sent the silicon wafer market scurrying all over the map this year. Taiwan’s snapping up brands in the USA, South Korea is feasting on its own…
Moore’s Law stated that the number of transistors on a single chip would double every two years for at least a decade, but this level of acceleration has plateaued. Today,…
The internet of things (IoT) isn’t as preternatural a creature as you might think, but that doesn’t mean its definition is cut out of bricks and mortar. Broadly, it can…
Silicone adhesives have been utilized in the semiconductor industry for years. They resist cold and heat, are easily removable, and have dielectric properties. In recent years, new solutions have been sought…
