With the ever-increasing global demand for smarter, faster electronic systems, the semiconductor industry faces a dual challenge: delivering high-performance memory while reducing environmental impact. Winbond is meeting this challenge head-on by embedding sustainability into every layer of its operations—from… Read More
When people talk about bottlenecks in digital signal processors (DSPs), they usually focus on compute throughput: how many MACs per second, how wide the vector unit is, how fast the clock runs. But ask any embedded AI engineer working on always-on voice, radar, or low-power vision—and they’ll tell you the truth: memory stalls … Read More
The December 2024 WSTS forecast called for strong 2024 semiconductor market growth of 19%. However, the strength is limited to a few product lines. Memory is projected to grow 81% in 2024. Logic is expected to grow 16.9%. The micro product line should show only 3.9% growth, while discretes, optoelectronics, sensors and analog … Read More
- Lam put in good quarter with flattish guide- still a slow recovery
- This is better than worst case fears of order drop like ASML
- China spend is slowing but tech spending increase offsets
- Relief rally as the market was braced for bad news and got OK news
Lam has OK, slightly better than in line quarter with OK guide….
It coulda been… Read More
TechInsights has a new memory report that is worth a look. It is free if you are a registered member which I am. HBM is of great interest and there is a section on emerging and embedded memories for chip designers. Even though I am more of a logic person, memory is an important part of the semiconductor industry. In fact, logic and memory

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are evolving at an extraordinary pace, powering advancements across industries. As models grow larger and more sophisticated, they require vast amounts of data to be processed in real-time. This demand puts pressure on the underlying hardware infrastructure, particularly… Read More
- AMAT reports good but underwhelming quarter
- China slowing creates revenue & GM headwinds- ICAPs weak
- AI remains the one and only bright spot in both foundry & memory
- Cyclical recovery remains slow – Single digit Y/Y growth
OK quarter – still slow growing, revs up only 5% Y/Y
AMAT came in at revenues of $6.78B… Read More
- Lam reported good numbers with slightly soft guide
- Investors are figuring out the up cycle will be slower than thought
- Looks like AMAT won’t get CHIPS act money for Epic facility
- Steady improvement but stocks still ahead of themselves-Correction?
Lam reports good numbers (as usual) but guide not good enough
Lam reported… Read More
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin-film deposition method that continues to enable continuous advances in semiconductor device fabrication. Essentially, it involves exposing substrates sequentially to at least two different vapor phase atmospheres in which self-limiting reactions take place on the surface: the first… Read More
– Lam reports another flat quarter & guide- No recovery in sight yet
– Seems like no expectation of recovery until 2025- Mixed results
– DRAM good- NAND weak- Foundry/Logic mixed-Mature weakening
– Clearly disappointing to investors & stock hoping for a chip recovery
Another Flat Quarter &
