Semiconductor Industry Daily News & Updates

  • The world semiconductor market was $208 billion in third-quarter 2025, according to WSTS. This marks the first time the market has been above $200 billion. 3Q 2025 was up 15.8% from 2Q 2025, the highest quarter-to-quarter growth since 19.9% in 2Q 2009. 3Q 2025 was up 25.1% from 3Q 2024, the highest growth versus a […]
  • The semiconductor industry is entering a transformative era, and few trends are generating more discussion or confusion than Agentic AI. From autonomous design exploration to next-generation verification strategies, Agentic AI promises dramatic changes in how chips are conceived, validated, and delivered. But as with … Read More The post WEBINAR: Is Agentic AI the Future […]
  • The explosive growth of AI and accelerated computing is placing unprecedented demands on system-on-chip (SoC) design. Modern AI workloads require extremely high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and energy-efficient data movement across increasingly heterogeneous architectures. As SoCs scale to incorporate clusters of… Read More The post Live Webinar: Considerations When Architecting Your Next SoC: NoC with Arteris and […]
  • Modern chip design verification often encounters challenges when connecting peripherals, primarily due to drastic differences in operating speed or hardware limitations. Designs running on hardware emulators or FPGA prototyping platforms typically operate at clock frequencies of tens of megahertz, and in some cases even… Read More The post FPGA Prototyping in Practice: Addressing Peripheral Connectivity […]
  • Given my physics background I’m ashamed to admit I know very little about quantum computers (QC) though I’m now working to correct that defect. Like many of you I wanted to start with the basics: what are the components and systems in the physical implementation of a quantum “CPU” and how do they map to […]
  • NUBURU Inc of Centennial, CO, USA — which was founded in 2015 and developed and previously manufactured high-power industrial blue lasers — has executed the €2m first tranche of financial support for Tekne S.p.A. (a provider of integrated electronic warfare and cyber capabilities in military vehicles), following the updated Tekne agreement announced 12 November…
  • Photonic simulation CAD software developer Photon Design Ltd of Oxford, UK has provided laser design and simulation training on the JePPIX ‘PIC Design Course’ 2025, held at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU Eindhoven) on 27 October to 7 November…
  • GlobalFoundries of Malta, NY (GF, the only US-based pure-play foundry with a global manufacturing footprint, including facilities in the USA, Europe and Singapore) and Navitas Semiconductor Corp of Torrance, CA, USA — which provides GaNFast gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors — have announced a long-term strategic partnership to strengthen and […]
  • ams OSRAM GmbH of Premstätten, Austria and Munich, Germany has launched the new-generation FIREFLY SFH 4030B and SFH 4060B infrared light-emitting diodes (IREDs), which are claimed to set new standards for infrared LEDs in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications such as eye tracking in smart glasses and AR/VR headsets…
  • The Ohio State University (OSU) has purchased a Close Coupled Showerhead system for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (CCS MOCVD) from Aixtron SE of Herzogenrath, near Aachen, Germany. The tool will be used for epitaxy of gallium oxide (GaO) and aluminum gallium oxide (AlGaO) for materials and device development on 100mm substrates…
  • At the SEMICON Europa 2025 event in Munich, Germany (18–21 November), micro/nanotechnology R&D center CEA-Leti of Grenoble, France has launched a three-year, multi-lateral program on micro-LED technology for ultra-fast data transfer, with a particular focus on accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) growth. The lab- to-fab initiative draws on the institute’s expertise in micro-LED process technology. Beginning […]
  • Sweden-based AlixLabs AB (which was spun off from Lund University in 2019) has closed a €15m (~SEK165m) Series A funding round led by long-term investors Navigare Ventures, Industrifonden, and FORWARD.one, and joined by Sweden-based STOAF as well as Global Brain (an independent Japanese venture capital firm that manages strategic funds and invests in semiconductor startups), […]
  • Intelligent power and sensing technology firm onsemi of Scottsdale, AZ, USA says that its board of directors has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $6bn over the next three years, launching on 1 January 2026 after the previous $3bn authorization expires on 31 December.
