NXP CEO explains why Europe can never produce chips independently : https://lnkd.in/e6wJVxU7 CEOs Jean-Marc Chéry of STMicroelectronics, Jochen Hanebeck of Infineon Technologies, and Kurt Sievers of NXP Semiconductors argue that their companies are less certain about the future. This is because of the rise of more nationalistic industrial policies over the past decade, which created a major obstacle to do business with other countries and regions. The three CEOs participated in a joint panel at SEMICON Europe in Munich, Germany, which Reuters reported. #semiconductor #manufacturing #technology #innovation #chips  #semiconductormanufacturing #advancedtechnology #engineering #lithography #nanometer #research #development #AI  #mobileprocessors #EUV #DUV

MULTI-TECH SEMICONDUCTOR PILOT LINE LAUNCHED IN FRANCE Exciting developments in the semiconductor world! The EU Chips Act Initiative has launched another pilot line, with CEA-Leti unveiling the Fames Pilot Line. This 830-million-euro project will focus on 10nm and 7nm FD-SOI and four other key technologies. Accessible to universities, SMEs, and industrial players across the EU and "like-minded" countries, this initiative is set to drive innovation in the sector. FD-SOI offers improved electrostatic characteristics and reduced leakage currents, making it ideal for low-power and RF applications. Major players like GlobalFoundries and STMicroelectronics are advancing this technology. The Fames Pilot Line will also explore embedded non-volatile memories, RF components, 3D integration options, and small inductors for PMICs. These technologies promise market opportunities in AI, 5G/6G, automotive, and more. Coordinated by CEA-Leti, this project is a collaborative effort funded by EU member states and the Chips Joint Undertaking.

🚨 New Episode Alert! 🚨 🎙️ Tune into the Daily Semiconductor Industry Podcast for November 5th, 2024! ▪ SK hynix and Samsung Scale Down Legacy DRAM Amid Rising Competition Facing intense price competition from China's CXMT, Samsung and SK hynix are cutting production of legacy DRAM chips like DDR4, focusing instead on premium products such as HBM and enterprise SSDs. CXMT’s DRAM production expansion has pressured prices, prompting SK hynix to lower DDR4 output to 20% of its DRAM mix. Both firms are shifting to meet growing demand for AI-focused memory, with SK upgrading facilities and Samsung planning to expand HBM3E and DDR5 production. ▪ Advanced Technology Drives Next-Gen Semiconductors To continue scaling semiconductors, the industry is adopting nanoscale 3D architectures. Atom Probe Tomography helps develop these technologies by analyzing materials at atomic levels, critical for chip interconnect improvements. ▪ Applied Materials and Lam Research Seek Non-Chinese Supply Chain In response to U.S. restrictions, Applied Materials and Lam Research are pushing suppliers to source non-Chinese components. This shift aims to secure their supply chains, potentially raising costs amid the U.S.-China tech tensions. We have some major updates in the semiconductor world, and we'd like to give a huge thank you to our sponsor, ventureLAB, for powering today’s industry review! ventureLAB is leading the way in helping startups in hardware and enterprise software thrive, playing a crucial role in advancing Canada’s semiconductor and AI ecosystems. 🌍💡 #Semiconductors #DRAMMarket #MemoryChips #AdvancedMaterials #USChinaRelations #SupplyChain #ChipIndustry #AIInfrastructure #NextGenTech Listen now! 👇

Delving into the Secrets of Microchip Manufacturing Ever wondered about the incredible journey behind the tiny yet mighty semiconductor chips powering our digital age? Take a peek behind the scenes with this fascinating video transcribe! From humble sand to intricate microchips, the process is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It all begins with the transformation of silicon dioxide into pure silicon, which is then meticulously crafted into wafer-thin disks, each a mere millimeter in thickness. In Dresden's clean rooms, the magic truly unfolds as up to 35,000 chips are crafted from a single wafer, undergoing a series of intricate processes to give them their characteristic surface structure. Think coating, exposing, developing, etching—each step refining the conductor structure to perfection. But here's where it gets truly mind-boggling: these structures are hundreds of times finer than a human hair! Dopants are implanted to boost electrical power, while connectivity between semiconductor parts is meticulously established through a multitude of phases. And the precision doesn't stop there. With temperatures soaring above 1100 degrees Celsius and as many as 700 processing steps over 14 weeks, it's a testament to the dedication and expertise driving the semiconductor industry forward. Finally, these microchips emerge as mini-skyscrapers, assembled from up to 30 layers, each with its own unique function. The result? Highly complex yet incredibly powerful chips—the very building blocks of our future. So next time you hold a smartphone or marvel at the capabilities of modern technology, remember the remarkable journey of these tiny yet mighty wonders. Here's to the unsung heroes behind the scenes, shaping the future one chip at a time! #Semiconductor #Technology #Innovation #Manufacturing #FutureTech
