Informational Webinar Scheduled for October 16 at 3 p.m. ET to Support Interested Applicants The SEMI Foundation today announced the official opening of the Regional Node Request for Proposals (RFP) for the National Network for Microelectronics Education (NNME), a national initiative funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to...
Telecommunication networks are undergoing a rapid transformation. With 5G rollouts, edge computing, and a surge in IoT devices, the pressure on semiconductor performance is higher than ever. But today’s chipmakers aren’t just racing to deliver speed and power—they’re also being challenged to meet complex regulatory requirements and ambitious sustainability goals....
The 55th International Symposium on Microelectronics, organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS) starts next week in Boston with a focus on PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES ENABLING THE NEW NORMAL. The technical program will span three days of sessions with emphasis on packaging technologies that serve 5G, High Performance Computations, Automotive, Industrial,...
SEMICON West 2022 coming up next week will kick-off, at least for the time being, the back to post-COVID normal for SEMI events. SEMI will be back on its normal schedule, and as concerns regarding COVID 19 are on a slow simmer, healthy attendance should be expected. We can expect...
While I am very dedicated to my role as a blogger for the semiconductor industry, there is one thing to which I am more dedicated: A good night’s sleep. So for the Live days of ISS Europe 2021, I only attended the panel discussions that were scheduled at 7 am...
Substrate capacity remains tight for both flip chip ball grid array (FC-BGA) substrates and laminate-based chip scale packages (CSPs). Substrate suppliers are adding capacity to meet the demand for FC-BGA substrates for server, graphics processor, and networking applications, but demand continues to outstrip supply. Regardless of the package type—whether silicon...
As predicted, 2020 will go down as the year 5G hit the big time. But it got off to a rocky start. Back in January, the semiconductor industry—and the world as a whole—had high hopes for the 5G rollout. Then COVID-19 hit, and two things happened. First, progress on the...
At last month’s IMAPS Device Packaging Conference, when I was not in keynote sessions, I was spending time chatting with industry colleagues to get their take on industry drivers. In all honesty, there was less talk about technology and more about the Coronavirus, which was still just barely hitting US...
It’s official. The world is becoming more data-driven by the second and everything – I mean EVERYTHING – hinges on the success of 5G. 5G will make smart factories more efficient; bring medical care to remote places; make the autonomous vehicle infrastructure possible so you stop rear-ending the person in...
The cynic inside often thinks “All hat, no cattle” about the newest new, new thing (right, Michael Lewis?). But if you were to consult the Gartner Hype Cycle listings from 2008 as I just did you would find, perhaps to your surprise, that Cloud Computing, 3-D Printing, Solid-State Drives, and...
