TenXer lab setup min

Systems engineers often want to select the best IC for their projects, yet the time required to search online, buy an Evaluation Kit, waiting to receive it in the mail, then getting it installed and setup for testing can be a barrier and lengthen the project timeline. This is where TenXer Labs comes in, as they have cleverly developed… Read More

yieldHUB Box Plot

Whether it is the stock market or the semiconductor market, the name of the game is yield. In semiconductors, yield has to do with minimizing scrap costs in all phases of manufacturing. This means squeezing as many good dies from a wafer as well as maximizing the number of good assembled/packaged chips that pass system level testing.… Read More

Semiconductor market forecasts 2019 to 2021

The global semiconductor market is headed for the largest decline in 18 years. The market dropped 32% in 2001 when the Internet bubble burst. The 2019 decline should be around 15%, the third largest annual drop after 2001 and a 17% drop in 1985. The current weakness is largely due to excess memory capacity (DRAM and NAND flash) relative… Read More
