Traditionally, semiconductor companies controlled the entire production process, from design to manufacture. Yet many chip makers are now delegating more and more production to others in the industry. Foundry companies, whose sole business is manufacturing, have recently come to the fore, providing attr...

Fueled by Analog Devices’ semiconductor technology, SolarEdge’s HD-Wave Power Inverter uses advanced precision mixed signal processing to reduce the size, weight and quantity of its internal components—and dramatically cut costs. This is making it possible for solar power to achieve grid parity ...
The same intuition is applied to other materials science use cases with features that are long in one or two dimensions; for example, delamination in carbon fiber composites, pore space in gas-bearing shale, thin films in power structures, layer-wise metrology of semicond...

Washington has also repeatedly wielded tariffs against its European partners and interfered in market competition. Not to mention its ripping into the semiconductor industry, where it "extorts" confidential data from various chip companies to maintain dominance in the sector. ...
For CPU design, transistors were a true game-changer, liberating computing from its bulky, oversized beginnings, and allowing the creation of more sleekly designed computers that required less space and could run more efficiently. What is a microprocessor?
Flex PCB or Flexible PCB or Flex circuit or Flex Print or Flexi Circuits are terms used for Flexible Printed Circuit Board. PCB is bendable
Fabless chipmakers design and market semiconductors for smartphones, computers, medical devices, and many other electronic devices. They decide how to assemble and market the semiconductor chips but don't fabricate (fab) them—hence they're fabless. That task is outsourced to a foundry specializing...
Since all semiconductor subsegments have engaged in M&A to a similar extent, it is not surprising that the relative rankings remained similar. Potential challenges: The rise of in-house chip design After five successful years, semiconductor leaders across the industry have become a bit less ...
