The Semiconductor Talent Incubation Program, a trilateral cooperation between TSMC, the Free State of Saxony and Dresden University of Technology (TUD), is an exchange program specifically designed to train STEM students for careers in the semiconductor industry. Up to 100 top-performing...
Signs of Life Outside Artificial Intelligence?

The pieces move at different speeds on the semiconductor manufacturing chessboard. While the AI revolution continues benefiting a few manufacturers, the rest are stuck in the industrial and automotive mud, now costing CEO...
In regards to BSPD, TSMC has the advantage/disadvantage of being customer driven. You can bet that the first implementation will be low risk then additional capabilities will come with the follow-on processes. TSMC's inner circle (Apple, QCOM, AMD, NVDA) will certainly have their say in it...
On Tuesday, the Biden-Harris administration finalized a CHIPS award of up to $7.865 billion to help fund the expansion of Intel's commercial fabs in the US. By the end of the decade, these fabs are intended to decrease reliance on foreign adversaries and fill substantial gaps in America's...
I should add that customers run tests and simulations using the PDKs on their own designs so the PPA is unique and may not support the marketing slides that the companies put out. In fact, "may not" means will not, not even close, completely different universe, etc..... ;)
- Samsung reshuffles leadership amid AI chip market competition
- Shares fall amid market concern over competitiveness
- Chairman Jay Y. Lee acknowledges unprecedented challenges
SEOUL, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics sought to inject impetus into its memory and foundry chip units by...
Partnering with TSMC is critical inside the semiconductor ecosystem. For any other foundry to effectively compete they need a similar status amongst the ecosystem partners, absolutely.
The Most Expensive Essential in AI Chips: HBM
The supply situation for the next-generation HBM4 will primarily hinge on the uncertainty surrounding Samsung's development progress. Notably, SK Hynix has publicly announced that HBM4 will continue to utilize the MR-MUF stacking method. The most...
The US had more fabs than any other country last I checked but China is catching up quick. Taiwan has the most volume of course at the leading edge (FinFET). The US fabs are old but with Samsung, TSMC and Intel the US is catching up. One or two more CHIPs ACTs and the US might be back in the...
TECH BOOST: New TSMC wafer fabs in Arizona are to dramatically improve US advanced chip production, a report by market research firm TrendForce said
With Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) pouring large funds into Arizona, the US is expected to see an improvement in its status to...
Agreed. Quite the opposite I would say. Do smartphones really need the latest and greatest processor technology right out of the gate? If you have bloated software maybe. Do you really need a terabyte of storage on your phone when you have the cloud above you?

TSMC has halted providing advanced AI chips at 7 nanometers and below to Chinese customers, highlighting mounting challenges for China's semiconductor industry. The suspension follows the discovery of TSMC-produced chips in Huawei devices and comes as the incoming Trump...
I do not believe intel will dominate the foundry business anytime soon, if at all. The semiconductor industry needs a second source for leading edge processes and the US needs manufacturing here in the US. As long as Intel Foundry has a competitive offering they are in business. The second...
Everything I have heard recently about Intel 18A is very good and the ecosystem is ready. Customers are engaged and the NOT TSMC market is anxiously awaiting silicon. Intel will be presenting/attending at IEDM next month. We will write more about it then.
Good analogy. I spent the last three years refitting a 36 year old yacht and it is finally ready for trips to Canada and Mexico. Sailing the California Coast is very different than sailing around the world which this boat and I could have done 30 years ago.
Intel and Samsung can do the same...
Sheffield, UK - 26 November, 2024. sureCore, the memory specialist, has announced that it is now licensing its CryoMem™ suite of Memory IP that is designed for use at the extremely low temperatures required for Quantum Computing (QC) applications. This is as a result of an Innovate UK-funded...
Samsung and Intel are two of the last standing titans of the semiconductor industry. I would put Texas Instruments up there as well. I would hate to see them leave. It would be a task to list all of the innovations that came out of these companies and they are still coming. Take a look at the...
