It’s no secret that the semiconductor shortage has had a massive impact on various industries across the globe—from car manufacturing to smart devices to consumer products and more. And as the digital landscape evolves, semiconductor chips are needed more than ever. The world has been in agreement that something needed to be done about the […]
While the semiconductor shortage is still ongoing, the semiconductor sector itself is, at the same time, seeing a new wave of expansion, with demands for chip innovation growing larger each day. While chip innovation has taken off, Moore’s Law 2D scaling is stalling. Now, with each successive iteration, chip shrinking takes longer and is more […]
There are several drivers for innovation in gas purification today, as the speed of technology accelerates. The semiconductor industry is just one area where gas purification is critical, as high purity gas helps create these essential materials in a world that’s demanding more of them than ever before. In a recent report, Deloitte expects the […]
Precision gas delivery is extremely important to semiconductor manufacturing. Various gases in varying flow rates are delivered to produce features on silicon wafers used in manufacturing chips. And with semiconductor manufacturing at critical supply chain and intricacy levels today, it’s crucial to deliver these gases in precise quantities with excellent repeatability and stringent purity levels. […]
As the digital landscape evolves, semiconductor chips are more needed than ever. Unfortunately, the current semiconductor shortage is impacting every industry that runs on these essential materials—from automotive to consumer electronics to lighting and LEDs and beyond. After 2021’s supply chain challenges, many are looking to 2022 to be the year where the shortage is […]
Precise and reliable gas delivery is a crucial part of semiconductor manufacturing. And with today’s increased costs of manufacturing semiconductors and the recent semiconductor shortage, time can simply not be wasted on compromised gas purity. Semiconductor manufacturing is a complex process where multiple gases in varying flow rates are carefully delivered to process chambers in […]
The tech world is abuzz about 5G—and for good reason. This fifth generation of wireless technology for digital cellular is driving potential for high-tech companies that are developing increasingly connected devices and smart products. 5G is also requiring semiconductor fabs—which produce the chips these devices need to operate—to keep up. The rollout of 5G has […]
Today’s digital transformations have driven growth in the semiconductor industry, with the 300mm silicon wafer market expected to increase by 5% in 2021. Along with this growth has come a greater pressure on fabs to increase output. Bulk gas delivery systems that support higher flow rates can solve this need—but they come with engineering hurdles […]
2020 had an unprecedented impact on every industry and nation as the COVID-19 crisis caused an increase in remote work. The shift to work-from-home, however, also brought a rapid acceleration in digitalization, as businesses transformed their delivery of services worldwide to remote customers.
