Semiconductors and Components

Strides in Semiconductors (August 18-24)

01 August 2024

Semiconductor manufacturing is characterized by exciting innovations that help overcome significant challenges.

Automation and robotics are revitalizing fabrication processes. Manufacturers are harnessing these to enhance production efficiency, reduce operational costs and improve the overall quality of semiconductor products.

This is key as the demand for smaller faster, and more efficient chips continues to escalate, and fabs are evolving to keep pace. Other innovations, like extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and advanced packaging methods, are enabling the production of increasingly complex integrated circuits.

Moore's Law remains fundamental to semiconductor manufacturing; physical limitations with silicon technology are within sight. So researchers are exploring alternative materials and architectures, such as 3D chip stacking and quantum computing.

Sustainability remains an important ambition of the industry. And even now, organizations continue to evaluate and smooth out the supply and demand ripples leftover from the pandemic era.

Join us as we explore the state of semiconductors in 2024.
