Samsung Electronics is placing a high-stakes bet on its 2nm chip manufacturing technology, as its foundry division works to reverse mounting losses and compete more effectively with global leader TSMC.
In a surprising change within the smartphone industry, MediaTek, long seen as the second largest chipmaker in the high-end sector, is gaining ground against American semiconductor giant Qualcomm in China's premium smartphone segment.
Innoscience, a leading Chinese GaN specialist, plans to expand its monthly production of 8-inch (200mm) wafers from 13,000 to 20,000 by the end of 2025, advancing toward its five-year target of 70,000 wafers per month. As the first IDM to mass-produce 8-inch GaN-on-silicon wafers, Innoscience's expansion highlights the growing global pivot to GaN technologies in power electronics.
