We pose 3 questions about shortages, stockpiling, and global foundry development in light of the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine and the semiconductor supply chain. Unfortunately, the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, and resolution remains uncertain. We’ve...
Semiconductor packaging shortages have brought the race to develop packaging technologies to the forefront of global semiconductor supply chain challenges. Resolving chip shortages means addressing many complex factors. This includes an often-overlooked step in...
By nature, markets ebb and flow in response to various factors. Nowhere is this more evident than in today’s semiconductor industry: Access to manufacturing materials shrank during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a severe chip shortage; while global supply chains...
The second post in our semiconductor shortage series asks: Will ABF substrate shortages continue to create a chokepoint in the semiconductor supply chain into 2022 and beyond? Next in our series tracking ongoing challenges and changes in the semiconductor industry:...
Our first post in the series about chip shortage mitigation in 2022 examines how you can assure quality during the semiconductor shortage. We know that shortages force change in sourcing practices, as typically reliable supply channels simply aren’t available to meet...
Semiconductor manufacturing has long been an outsourced industry: According to data collected by Statista, Taiwan (65%), Korea (18%), and China (5%) accounted for 88% of global foundry revenue in 2021. However, a years-long global shortage has increased prices and...
Complex global dynamics will determine if Russian trade restrictions impact semiconductor sales on a global scale. Global powers and private companies alike are suspending business as a primary strategy to quell Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The United States,...
Three predictions about global politics and the semiconductor supply chain in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We’ve written before how global politics can significantly impact supply chains. We know that recent world events have influenced many countries to...
The complexity of the ongoing semiconductor shortages tests supply chains worldwide. Here are 3 contributing factors. With 2022 well underway, we are tracking the ongoing challenges and changes in the semiconductor industry, including global semiconductor shortages....
By working with procurement partners that boast both the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation and AS6171 certification, defense and aerospace manufacturers can effectively prevent inadequate components from entering their supply chain — and do business with greater peace...
