SEOUL — Last year, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol stated publicly a goal of one day being among the world’s top four weapons suppliers, behind the US, Russia and France. It was an ambitious goal, to be sure, but one that doesn’t seem nearly as impossible as it would have even a few years […]
MILPITAS, Calif. ─ October 26, 2023 ─ Global shipments of silicon wafers are projected to decline 14% in 2023, to 12,512 million square inches (MSI) from the record high of 14,565 MSI in 2022 before bouncing back in 2024 as wafer and semiconductor demand recovers and inventory levels normalize, SEMI reported today in its annual silicon […]

Hybrid bonding is becoming the preferred approach to making heterogeneous integration work, as the semiconductor industry shifts its focus from 2D scaling to 3D scaling. By stacking chip-lets vertically in direct wafer-to-wafer bonds, chipmakers can leapfrog attainable interconnection pitch from 35µm in copper micro-bumps to 10µm or less. That reduces signal delay to negligible levels […]
WASHINGTON — A US Navy warship intercepted three missiles Thursday that had been fired by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, were heading north, and may have been aimed at Israel, the Pentagon said.US officials said the USS Carney, a Navy destroyer, was in the Red Sea and intercepted the three missiles.

WASHINGTON — The Navy has awarded HII a contract worth up to $347 million to purchase up to 200 unmanned undersea vehicles, the first major acquisition for the Navy’s Lionfish program, the company announced today. The initial buy for nine UUVs and associated support, worth roughly $19 million, was made on Sept. 28 through the Defense […]
The chip industry continues to navigate headwinds both in the form of slumping orders and empty positions. For some chipmakers, including TSMC, these issues have overlapped to form a perfect storm of challenges. The Taiwanese chip giant is reportedly delaying 2nm production by another year. As the industry takes steps to manage slowing orders, establishing […]
There are a lot of reasons why companies diversify their supply chains, with some of the most recent drivers being the pandemic-related disruptions, the global semiconductor shortage and the recent rash of natural disasters and catastrophic weather events.
