The semiconductor industry is gearing up for a significant expansion in silicon capacity in 2025, with a total of 17 new fabs set to come online, as projected by Knometa Research. This surge in capacity comes as a response to the market slowdown that has extended fab construction timelines out to 2025. Knometa Research anticipates a record volume of 23.1 million 200mm-equivalent wafers to be produced in 2025, signaling a major milestone for the industry. Originally, construction on many fabs was slated to commence in 2022 with operations expected to start in 2024. However, due to the market downturn that began in 2023, the start dates for some fabs had to be postponed to 2025. These delayed fabs will join numerous others already in the pipeline for 2025, resulting in an unprecedented surge in capacity being brought online during that year, according to Knometa. #electricalengineering #electronics #embedded #embeddedsystems #electrical #computerchips Follow us on LinkedIn to get daily news: HardwareBee - Electronic News and Vendor Directory

SEMI today applauded the first award of U.S. CHIPS and Science Act incentives to strengthen the US semiconductor industry ecosystem: The CHIPS and Science Act provides a 25% tax credit for U.S. facilities that produce semiconductors or chipmaking equipment and $52 billion in funding for new or updated semiconductor-related manufacturing programs. The funding includes $39 billion for grants available to semiconductor manufacturers as well as equipment and materials suppliers and $11 billion for federal semiconductor research programs.

Global semiconductor capacity is projected to increase by 6.4% in 2024, exceeding 30 million wafers per month (wpm) for the first time, driven by advancements in leading-edge logic and foundry, and demand from applications like generative AI and high-performance computing. China is expected to lead the expansion in the semiconductor industry, with Chinese chip manufacturers projected to launch 18 new projects in 2024, resulting in a significant year-over-year capacity growth to 8.6 million wpm. Foundry suppliers are anticipated to be the primary semiconductor equipment buyers, with a record capacity of 10.2 million wpm in 2024, while expansion in the memory, discrete, and analog segments is influenced by factors including weak demand in consumer electronics, vehicle electrification, and technological advancements. #Semiconductor #Fab #Capacity #Tech #Industry #ChipManufacturing #SemiconductorManufacturing #TechTrends #Foundry #Wafers #SEMI #SemiconductorMarket #ChinaSemiconductor #Wafer #SiliconWafer #Electronics #EV #AI #Computing #memory #discrete #SemiconductorEquipment Read more https://lnkd.in/gyqca5in

We are incredibly fortunate to have MEMS veteran, Matt Crowley, join us as a strategic advisor. Nanusens CEO, Josep Montanyà, said, “A veteran of the MEMS industry, having worked on MEMS and sensors at SAND 9, Vesper and Qualcomm, Matt’s experience will be invaluable in helping Nanusens rapidly bring its MEMS-within-ASICs™ technology to market.” Matt Crowley said, “The fabless semiconductor industry has thrived for decades because it uses a single standard manufacturing process, CMOS, that allows the industry to achieve massive scale, lower cost and constantly improving performance. This dynamic does not exist in the MEMS industry which is why it takes many years and tens of millions of dollars to create a new MEMS product. Nanusens is the first MEMS company to convincingly demonstrate #technology that will change this paradigm by making MEMS directly in CMOS itself. "When I first met Nanusens CEO, Josep Montanyà, I was sceptical of his claim that Nanusens can make a variety of #MEMS devices such as accelerometers, pressure sensors and antenna switches. As someone with 20 years of experience in MEMS, I have seen many claims that could not live up to the hype, but, as I dug into the data and asked hard questions, I became convinced that, although it has not yet been proven at scale, this technology does work. Transforming the MEMS business model from one with discrete devices manufactured on dedicated lines to MEMS as a licensable #IP block at major #CMOS foundries will change the paradigm for a wide class of MEMS devices. It is a bold vision and I am thrilled to join Nanusens as an advisor to help make that vision a reality.” #embedded #chips #semiconductors #electronics #electronicsindustry

FINALLY GOOD NEWS FOR EUROPEAN SEMICONDUCTOR TECH - FD-SOI FOR 7NM IS COMING CEA-Leti is to build an FD-SOI pilot line FD-SOI "in semiconductor manufacturing, silicon on insulator (SOI) technology is fabrication of silicon semiconductor devices in a layered silicon–insulator–silicon substrate, to reduce parasitic capacitance within the device, thereby improving performance. SOI-based devices differ from conventional silicon-built devices in that the silicon junction is above an electrical insulator, typically silicon dioxine. FD-SOI (Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator) has been seen as a potential low cost alternative to FinFETs." SOI BENEFITS "Reported benefits of SOI relative to conventional silicon (bulk CMOS) processing include: 1. Lower parasitic capacitance due to isolation from the bulk silicon, which improves power consumption at matched performance 2. Resistance to latchup due to complete isolation of the n- and p-well structures 3. Higher performance at equivalent VDD. Can work at low VDDs[5] 4. Reduced temperature dependency due to no doping 5. Better yield due to high density, better wafer utilization 6. Reduced antenna issues 7. No body or well taps are needed 8. Lower leakage currents due to isolation thus higher power efficiency 9. Inherently radiation hardened (resistant to soft errors), reducing the need for redundancy" https://lnkd.in/ddmmJFG8 5 TECHNOLOGIES "The FD-SOI pilot line will develop 5 technologies: 1. FD-SOI process for 10nm and 7nm process nodes； 2. A variety of eNVM embedded non-volatile memories, including OxRAM, FeRAM, MRAM, and FeFET; 3. RF components such as switches, filters, capacitors, etc. 4. Two 3D integration processes: heterogeneous integration and sequential integration; 5. Small inductors for developing DC-DC converters on PMIC circuits. These five sets of technologies will create market opportunities for LOW-POWER MCUs, MPUs, AI/ML devices, RF devices, 5G/6G chips, automotive chips and smart sensors."
