The first transistor was invented in 1947. By 1970, Intel commercialized the world’s first DRAM chip with about 1,500 transistors – a major feat! It was fabricated using a 10,000nm process on 3in wafers. Today, top component manufacturers are preparing sub-3nm processes on 12in wafers for DDR5 SDRAM components that have more than 32 billion transistors per chip. […]

Extending Production Lifecycle
It has been 75 years since scientists made the first working transistor at Bell Labs after first conducting more than two decades of research. Ten years later, Gordon Moore predicted the annual doubling of transistors on a chip, dubbed Moore’s Law – an economic driver and self-fulfilling prophecy pushing the industry towards continuous innovation. Whether […]

Trends and shortages in the semiconductor industry are often reported on without highlighting the nuances and differences in segments within the industry, such as sensors, analog, discrete, logic, optical components, and of course, memory. While a manufacturer may focus on one or few product families or subfamilies, contract manufacturers and OEMs usually need semiconductor components […]

Multisourcing
Natural disasters, (trade) wars, and geopolitical uncertainties showed the need for supply chain leaders to rethink their priorities even before the COVID-19 lockdowns, shutdowns, and travel bans. The pandemic put a magnifying glass on the weaker links in the semiconductor supply chain, resulting in some unprecedented component and product shortages. A complex supply chain will […]
