Sarah Wylie: I need to know how to describe your relationship with Gallagher. Mac said to quote you directly. You can say whatever you want. Megan Carter: Just… say we were involved. Sarah Wylie: That’s true, isn’t it? Megan Carter: No. But it’s accurate.” — Absence of Malice (1981) MADISON, Wis. — The flood of […]
TORONTO — Deposition technology plays a key role in advancing memory devices, and when it comes to 3D NAND, stacking exposes the limitations of current filling methods. Lam Research’s recently announced Striker FE enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) platform addresses semiconductor manufacturing challenges for 3D NAND as well as DRAM. It employs advanced dielectric gapfill […]
HSMC blue print (Source: HSMC) TAIPEI — Wuhan Hongxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (HSMC) is the latest casualty in the technology war between China and the United States. The debt-ridden company is insolvent, according to the company’s ex-CEO. “Investors ran short of cash,” ex-CEO Chiang Shang-yi, told EE Times in a message via LinkedIn. “I got […]
Fundamentally we should not be competing on product environmental and human health safety. Like classical product safety (thermal, electrical, mechanical, etc.), the effect on the user and their environment should be negligible or even positive. Can you imagine if we competed on product safety? Rather, product environmental and human health safety is usually presented today […]
Taipei — Samsung and other Asian companies are expected to lead semiconductor industry spending on capex (capital expenditures) this year, which in total will grow by about 8% to $87.2 billion, according to IC Insights. Chipmakers generally brushed off the global coronavirus pandemic as a relatively short-term disruption and continued with spending plans that will […]
“Scent entered into their very core, went directly to their hearts, and decided for good and all between affection and contempt, disgust and lust, love and hate. He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.” ― Patrick Süskind, Perfume Base note fragrances at the lowest level, heart notes in the middle, and […]
The mobile communications industry, and notably the RAN (radio access network) sector, has for long been a complex and relatively slow moving sector. Not anymore! Not at the moment! Just in the past weeks: Nokia has outlined yet another reorganization following poor third quarter results, and a downbeat forecast for the near future; Arch rival […]
Some electronic component sectors hammered in the earliest days of the pandemic are showing signs of recovery and even modest gains going into an uncertain 2021. While semiconductor and global wafer fab spending forecasts remain bullish, other sectors like optoelectronics, sensors, and discrete semiconductors have taken a beating the last eight months or so. IC […]
