Member firms of the Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision Industry) camp have completed their initial deployments in the third-generation compound semiconductor SiC (silicon carbide) field, with Taisic Materials engaged in the upstream crystal growth and substrate production, Gigastorage planning to handle SiC wafer cutting, grinding and polishing, and Hon Hai itself on track to operate a SiC wafer foundry at a 6-inch fab purchased from Macronix International in addition to its deep presence in consumer, i...

The signing of a long-term contract between Apple and Broadcom to develop 5G radio frequency (RF) components could easily drive outsiders to associate it with the "coopetition" relationships between the iPhone vendor and Qualcomm, but it is not Qualcomm but Skyworks that could bear the brunt of the event, according to RF chips supply chain sources in Taiwan.

Reactions to the UK Semiconductor Strategy hsve come from the CEOs of three UK startups - Phlux, Intinsic and Fovotec. “The £1 billion investment into

Apart from its TSMC-led silicon-based semiconductor ecosystem, Taiwan also plays a crucial role in the development of compound semiconductors, including the second-generation semiconductors GaAs and InP and third-generation SiC and GaN. As a leading Taiwanese GaAs foundry, Win Semiconductors has built a solid presence in the handset-use power amplifiers (PA), 3D sensors, optical components, LiDAR, and even satellite RF chips. In an interview for the "Silicon Island Chronicles" document...

Transcom, Inc., a Taiwan-based IDM specializing in microwave semiconductor components and sub-system products, is seeing a steady growth momentum for 2023. As Taiwans only IDM focusing on compound semiconductors, Transcom has been riding on Taiwans recent endeavor to build a resilient and self-sufficient defense industry.

To hand to weigh up the risk. its basically a risk—management decision of weighing up the downsides versus the upsides about taking these calls. so for them to have made a decision based on this approach, that would suggest there is some evidence, some information theyre looking at that i think ultimately worries them just a bit too much. but nexperia says its ruled out any future compound semiconductor development at the newport site and has pledged to block the export of technology overseas....

Photovoltaics, and thats because of the size, weight and power advantages. there are some really crazy things going on there, some really interesting things. so at the moment, people are doing a lot of research in how to transmit power back from space to the earth safely. and once those issues are solved, you can imagine compound semiconductor, large—scale photovoltaics in space, power stations in space, really very exciting. now, the newport wafer fab doesnt at the moment actually produce the...

With its importance significantly highlighted during the Russia-Ukraine war, low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications will usher in enormous business opportunities for III-V compound semiconductors suppliers, space electronic components analysis and verification services, and other related supply chain players, according to industry sources.

Wise-integration, a French company specialized in digital control of gallium nitride (GaN) power supplies and GaN ICs, and Powernet, a Korean power supply manufacturer, announced on April 6 an agreement to build compact and energy-efficient technology for power-supply applications that are currently limited to analog control.
