The Japanese government's subsidy will help Micron to install new lithography equipment at its Hiroshima plant, which will allow it to produce more advanced DRAM chips. This is a significant development for the global semiconductor industry, as it shows that governments are willing to invest in domestic chip production.
CEO Sanjay Mehrotra mentioned that the CAC's ruling had adversely affected sales in China's internal datacenter and networking sectors.
CEO emphasized that if TSMC, a highly profitable and dominant player, receives substantial support, it should be feasible for competitors like GlobalFoundries to receive similar backing.
A significant advancement with Intel 4 is its utilization of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV), a first for Intel's fabrication processes. EUV integration enhances yield and allows for efficient area scaling, optimizing power efficiency. Intel 4 boasts twice the area scaling for high-performance logic libraries when compared to Intel 7.
In a groundbreaking achievement, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has revealed a fully indigenous gallium nitride (GaN) power switch, heralding a new era in electronic devices. This cutting-edge technology holds immense potential for revolutionizing power converters for electric vehicles, laptops, ultrafast chargers, and wireless communications.
This blog post covers the imminent announcement of the U.S. government indefinitely suspending restrictions on semiconductor equipment imports to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix's Chinese factories, showcasing a significant shift in export control policies and its potential impact on the semiconductor industry.
"First, even if the US imposes restrictions, we can still achieve advanced chip manufacturing; second, we are not afraid even if US officials come – we will still have Huawei release that phone!"
Intel is encouraging universities and researchers to forego the development of their individual quantum processors and, instead, utilize the Tunnel Falls chip provided by Intel for the purposes of testing and constructing software and hardware that are compatible with it.
Have you ever wondered why the raw material for computer chips, silicon wafers, are circular, but the end products themselves are square? This article delves into the fascinating world of semiconductor manufacturing to reveal the ingenious engineering that transforms circles into squares.
University of Massachusetts Amherst, found that the energy consumption of AI data centers is growing rapidly, and could account for up to 20% of global electricity consumption by 2030.
