For years, the electronics industry has been wondering when the pandemic-driven chip shortage will end. But even when this one ends, another might be looming on the horizon. Because, the reality is, shortages are part of a normal boom and bust cycle. Instead of...
Legacy electronic chips are in short supply, but car makers have been hesitant to make the pivot to newer, more advanced chips. Cars are one of the world’s most expensive consumer goods, but non-EV models are run on some of the oldest and cheapest semiconductors....
New tech continues to play a transformative role in increasing organizational resilience from supply chain disruption. A strong, up-front investment in automation and predictive technologies provides increased visibility into vulnerabilities. Our understanding of the...
While other industries that use chips are seeing demand slow, allowing semiconductor manufacturers room to catch up, some automotive chips are still in short supply. Rapid growth in demand, technological advances in chip design, and lingering effects from the pandemic...
Once considered a relatively inconsequential process in chip production, semiconductor packaging has begun to attract more attention lately. Amid the recent push to increase the domestic production of silicon chips, the onshoring of packaging has emerged as a major...
The semiconductor industry experiences relatively frequent boom and bust cycles. But impacts of this cycle have resonated more broadly in the past two years, with a confluence of factors impacting an already delicate balance of supply and demand. With chip shortages...
