Silicon Labs is deepening its presence in India through expanded research operations and a greater commercial focus on smart infrastructure applications, even as the US-based wireless chipmaker prepares for an acquisition by Texas Instruments.
In power electronics engineering, Silicon Carbide (SiC) companies are competing to achieve the absolute lowest thermal resistance (Rth), with the mindset that lower heat signature equates a superior system. However, at PCIM Europe 2026, a collaborative project between Rohm Semiconductor, Schweizer Electronic, and eMoveUs GmbH exposed a revolutionary counter-intuitive shift in design philosophy: willingly accepting a localized thermal performance deficit to ultimately achieve dominant system-level advantages.
Sigurd announced that its May revenue reached a historic high, driven by overseas customer expansion, stronger demand for AI-related chips, and rising use of advanced packaging capacity. The result suggests continued momentum in global semiconductor supply chains, with implications for networking, memory, and high-performance computing markets worldwide.
MediaTek reported May 2026 revenue of NT$47.43 billion (approx. US$1.5 billion), up 1.49% from the previous month and 4.99% from a year earlier. Cumulative revenue for the first five months of 2026 totaled NT$243.32 billion, down 1.59% from the same period last year.
Elon Musk's planned Terafab chipmaking project has taken an early equipment-sourcing step, with South Korean equipment maker HPSP reportedly receiving a purchase order for high-pressure hydrogen annealing equipment.
SK Hynix is preparing to begin mass production of its next-generation 375-layer 3D NAND flash memory by year-end, while pushing ahead with a broader capacity buildout and moving toward a US listing as early as August.
