In 2025, the global semiconductor industry will witness significant growth, with 18 new fabrication plants (fabs) breaking ground to meet the rising demand for high-performance computing (HPC) and generative AI. This expansion holds the promise of easing chip...
The electronics supply chain is a complex web of suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors that spans the globe. As an integral part of the modern economy, it is highly sensitive to both geopolitical tensions and market dynamics. Adapting to these changes is...
In the fast-paced realm of semiconductor technology, where innovation is the norm and advancements occur at lightning speed, one component quietly but significantly drives the engine of progress: the Integrated Circuit (IC) substrate. As the backbone of electronic...
As product design becomes increasingly complex and time-to-market cycles shrink, OEMs are relying more than ever on the distribution channel to ensure they get the parts they need when they need them. Electronics distributors are stepping in to help find...
Instead of relying on a single source, it’s crucial to build a diverse network of suppliers to ensure supply continuity. The January earthquake in Japan greatly impacted passive component manufacturer Murata, causing lead times and pricing for fixed inductors to...
The future of semiconductors may rely less on the technology of the chips themselves and more on how they are packaged. As performance demands continue to grow, chipmakers are exploring new ways to squeeze more functionality into the same limited space. Chip packaging...
