Why semiconductors could be the comeback kings of 2023 ?

In 2022, the semiconductor market reached an all-time high with total revenues of $595. 7 billion, slightly higher than the record revenue of $592.8 billion in 2021. But with four consecutive quarters of decline, the semiconductor market is by no means having a record year in its current state, according to a new research survey by Omdia. fourth quarter 2022 contracted 9 percent from the previous quarter, the largest drop in the current economic downturn. fourth quarter 2022 revenue was $132.4 billion, just 82 percent of fourth quarter 2021's record quarterly revenue of $161.1 82 percent of the record quarterly revenue of $161.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. In 2021, revenues grew at double-digit rates in all major application areas, from 11% in the wireline communications industry to 36% in semiconductors for the consumer electronics industry. record revenues in 2022 were mixed, with the automotive semiconductor market growing 21% year-over-year. On the other hand is the

Top 10 Semiconductor Trends in 2023

In 2022, the market is flagging, the PC market and the demand for electronic consumption are declining, the major manufacturers are cutting orders continuously, the inventory is high successively, and the overall market supply and demand mismatch; There are also cases of short supply, such as logic chips, IGBT, automotive MCU and so on to maintain a high business status.   In the face of this market situation, look at Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel, Samsung, SK Hynix,  United electric, and other major manufacturers, how to optimize the industrial layout adjustment, to meet the 2023 new start.     [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company]   Attack overseas market, improve 3 nm yield; Technology development 2-nanometer process; The expenditure budget has been further revised down.   From the perspective of the process node, the utilization rate of 7nm and 6nm capacity of TSMC has declined, which is estimated to take several quarters to adjust. It is expected that the demand is expected t

Slacker's Guide To Where Do Storage Vendors Go In IC Market?

  With the poor global economic conditions and slowing demand for PCs and smartphones, Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix have suffered serious setbacks in their performance. Let's see how these giants turned around beautifully under the cold winter economy.     Samsung Ramped up factory construction and stable cooperation   Samsung has been the dominant player in the global NAND market and was able to account for 43.6% of the NAND market, but this year, Samsung DRAMD's Q3 revenue was $7.4 billion, down 34% sequentially.   Although storage revenue is not optimistic, but recently, Samsung's foundry side of the revenue of $5.58 billion, for the first time more than the main flash business NAND Flash flash memory business revenue of $4.3 billion, it can be seen that Samsung is making great efforts to fill the gap in the performance of the flash memory market, in order to maintain competitiveness, wafers and flash memory always have to be the top pillar of the business.   Samsung has

What is an Integrated Circuit (ICs) ?

  1. What is an integrated circuit?   An integrated circuit (IC) is a miniature electronic device or component. Using a semiconductor process, the transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and other components and wiring required in a circuit are fabricated on one or more semiconductor wafers and then packaged in a housing to form a miniature structure with the desired circuit function. Integrated circuits are usually denoted by the letters "IC" and their function is to process the input information.   Let's take a look at the circuit diagram and circuit board of a discrete device.   Imagine if you could miniaturize the circuits composed of these discrete semiconductor devices and then make them together? As early as 1952, British scientist G. W. A. Dummer proposed the idea of integrated circuits, and in 1958 TI's Clair Kilby's research group invented the first integrated circuit, containing 12 components, using germanium semiconductors.
