Kelly Sanchez+FollowIs Wafer-Level Testing the Next AI Chip Gamechanger?Aehr Test Systems just scored a major deal to evaluate its wafer-level burn-in platform for a leading AI chip maker. This isn’t just about faster testing—wafer-level burn-in could set a new bar for reliability in AI processors, especially as chips get more complex with high-bandwidth memory. But is this the innovation that will define the next wave of AI hardware, or just another incremental step? What do you think: real disruption or industry hype? #Tech #AIChips #Semiconductors00Share
vincentwilson+FollowChina’s Chip Mandate: Smart Move or Setback?China is pushing its data centers to use over half of their chips from local manufacturers, aiming to reduce reliance on US tech. While this could boost homegrown innovation, it also means grappling with compatibility issues between Chinese and US hardware—especially for AI workloads. Will this policy accelerate China’s tech independence, or slow down its AI ambitions? What’s your take on the balance between national security and global collaboration in the chip race? #Tech #ChinaTech #Semiconductors00Share
Jennifer Meyer+FollowTSMC’s 2nm Bet: Game Changer or Risky Move?TSMC is going all-in on 2-nanometer chip production, racing to expand its Arizona fabs and double capacity by 2026. With Apple and Nvidia hungry for next-gen silicon, TSMC’s Gate-All-Around transistors and panel-level packaging could reshape AI hardware. But with Samsung trailing and Intel pivoting, is TSMC’s aggressive push a masterstroke or a gamble in a volatile market? Where do you see the real edge—tech innovation or geopolitical strategy? #Tech #TSMC #Semiconductors30Share
russell01+FollowIs Intel's 18A Gamble Fizzling Out?So, Intel might be quietly shelving its much-hyped 18A node for external customers and pivoting to the next-gen 14A instead. After years of bold claims, is this a strategic reset or a sign of deeper trouble in Intel’s foundry ambitions? With rivals like Taiwan’s TSMC pushing ahead, does Intel risk falling further behind in the chipmaking race? Let’s hear your take: smart pivot or red flag? #Tech #Intel #Semiconductors10Share
Robert Evans+FollowWould You Buy a Factory Like Ikea Furniture?Imagine if building a chip factory was as easy as assembling Ikea shelves. That’s what Nanotronics is aiming for with their new 'Cubefabs'—compact, AI-powered factories that can pop up almost anywhere and run with a small crew. The big shift? Making it possible for even small towns to build their own tech, not just giant corporations. Could your next phone be made down the street? #TechTrends #Semiconductors #Innovation #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup00Share
Angela Chavez+FollowIs This the End of Bulky RF Switches?pSemi just dropped the PE42448, claiming the highest linearity ever for a silicon-on-insulator RF switch. This could be a game-changer for anyone building massive MIMO or next-gen wireless systems—think smaller footprints, lower BOM costs, and fewer design headaches. But is this leap in linearity enough to make traditional, bulkier switches obsolete? Or are there trade-offs we’re not seeing yet? Let’s debate! #RFtechnology #WirelessInnovation #Semiconductors #Tech10Share
Rebecca Hull+FollowCan Dry Film Photoresist Outpace Liquid?Asahi Kasei’s new Sunfort TA Series dry film photoresist is making waves in semiconductor packaging, promising ultra-fine wiring for AI servers and more. Dry film has always lagged behind liquid for high-res patterns, but this tech claims to close the gap for panel-level processing. Is this the moment dry film overtakes liquid in advanced chipmaking, or will old habits die hard? What’s your take on the future of photolithography? #Semiconductors #AI #ChipPackaging #Tech10Share
Marisa Pope+FollowWhy Everyone’s Nervous About NvidiaHeads up if you’re watching the chip stocks! Ahead of Nvidia’s big earnings reveal, investors are playing it safe—think more umbrellas than sunglasses. Folks are snapping up insurance-like options on the main semiconductor fund (SMH), bracing for a possible storm if Nvidia’s results disappoint. Basically, if you own chip stocks, expect some rollercoaster action this week.
