Transcom, Inc., a Taiwan-based IDM specializing in microwave semiconductor components and sub-system products, is seeing a steady growth momentum for 2023. As Taiwan's only IDM focusing on compound semiconductors, Transcom has been riding on Taiwan's recent endeavor to build a resilient and self-sufficient defense industry.
To hand to weigh up the risk. it's 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 they're looking at that i think ultimately worries them just a bit too much. but nexperia says it's ruled out any future compound semiconductor development at the newport site and has pledged to block the export of technology overseas. and some fear the government's divestment order will end up damaging, not safeguarding, this imp...
Photovoltaics, and that's 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 doesn't at the moment actually produce these cutting—edge compound semiconductors that they're experimenting on in cardiff. but the govern...
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.
