Only recommend news of electronic component industry, begin to know the industry quickly from electronic components manufacturers & suppliers (ECMS) news
The electronics industry saw the signs of a turnaround in the second half of the year as demand spiked and lead times extended for memory ICs (DRAMs and NAND flash), capacitors, resistors, discrete semiconductors and power components. Longer lead times – and allocations – have plagued buyers throughout 2017 and into 2018. This has led…
Since the explosion of passive components shortage in the last year, the strength and endurance of its boom have exceeded expectations. MLCC shortage has stepped into the fifth quarter, Yageo’s stock safety level declined for more than 1 year. Even Yageo went through inventory adjustment of Chinese mobile phone factory for three quarters, weak sales of iPhone X, and the traditional electronics’s…
Demand for electronic components is rising all around the world in 2018, along with the reduction in production output of several original manufacturers. It is causing a “perfect storm” in electronic components supply chain, from memory chips to MOSFET, even MCU like STM32 which was rumored to have a lead time of 88 weeks. Though…
Headlight development now uses LED chips with micro-structured pixels, which can shine, or be turned off individually. The high resolution systems now use 84 pixels to more than 1000 pixels. The development of the world’s first hybrid LED, based on the conclusions from the FMER-project μAFS led by Osram Opto Semiconductors, supports these higher…
Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the future of scaling, the impact of variation, and the introduction of new materials and technologies, with Rick Gottscho, CTO of Lam Research; Mark Dougherty, vice president of advanced module engineering at GlobalFoundries; David Shortt, technical fellow at KLA-Tencor; Gary Zhang, vice president of computational litho products at ASML; and Shay Wolfling, CTO…
