You’re probably using a semiconductor right now to listen to this podcast, on your computer or smartphone. These chips are increasingly critical to a large sector of the global economy and countries including the United States and China are working to ensure access to them. How are they going about securing those supply chains and […]
Found in every kind of modern vehicle, semiconductors make it possible for electric cars to be efficient, interactive and safe, which is critical when human life is at risk.
We discuss the four most popular chip ETFs and how investors can use them.
The fabless model -- in which semiconductor companies outsource the production of silicon chips -- was supposed to be a good thing. It would allow design firms like Qualcomm to save themselves the capital
Semiconductors are becoming more and more important to the future of technology. As an integral part of our tools since the 1950s, they have been powering every computerized device. As software becomes more sophisticated, and as Moore’s Law is fading from prominence, some may wonder how semiconductors can keep up in this increasingly mobile and digitized age.
A big problem is that investors no longer consider patents reliable, and patents are costly to defend and enforce.
Berkeley Lab scientists at DOE's Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis have found a way to better predict how thin-film semiconductors weather the harsh conditions in systems that convert sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into fuel.

A company had a process where they were etching metal components with an acid bath. The system consisted of four baths where the metal parts would be dipped. The four baths consisted of a wash, r…
Imec’s annual forum provides a roadmap of deep-tech innovations for the semiconductor, neuro-biologic, and energy futures.
Semiconductors have been going sideways for some time, although they have been on a tear recently. Semiconductor companies can vary in the stuff they do, and th
New materials and processes and increasing volumes mean 'doing more with more.'
It's time for leading semiconductor firms to pave the way with the next generation of digital technologies by creating a more comprehensive digital twin.
Photo Chemical Machining, also known as Photo Etching , is a chemical milling process used to produce highly complex, thin metal parts with intricate details that cannot be obtained via other machining methods. The photo etching process utilizes etchants to dissolve away unwanted portions of metal, so the process does not affect the temper of the r...
