Infineon HiRel devices support NASA’s newly launched Roman telescope mission. Radiation-hardened power semiconductors will operate at Sun-Earth L2, where reliability under ionising radiation and single-event effects is critical to sustained spacecraft operation.
-
Soitec is locking photonics customers into multi-year wafer supply agreements. Deposits, fixed pricing, and shared inventory data are being used to secure capacity as AI infrastructure drives sharply higher demand for silicon-photonics substrates.
-
AmpliTech has secured three custom MMIC wins for satellite communications. The GaAs components were competitively selected for an undisclosed phased-array platform after design and qualification work against system-level RF requirements.
-
Beijing has launched an atomic-scale manufacturing programme for advanced semiconductors. The 2026–28 plan covers etch, deposition, implantation, process software, precision equipment, metrology, pilot facilities, and industrial demonstration.
-
Lam Research has started building its new Oregon semiconductor laboratory. The 120,000ft² project expands cleanroom capacity, deposition and etch development, materials work, and hardware validation.
-
Keysight software has more than halved AttoTude’s IC design cycles. The EDA workflow supports RF-to-THz silicon development, first-pass tape-outs, and per-lane interconnect designs reaching 800G.
-
Philips has secured funding for robotic stroke intervention development work. The programme combines image-guided therapy, steerable robotics, and AI-enabled automation to extend specialist thrombectomy capability.
-
Kitron has opened new electronics manufacturing capacity in southern Norway. The 7,500m² Longum plant supports rising defence and aerospace demand while expanding high-reliability production close to European customers.
-
Gresham has secured new RF orders supporting established US programmes. The $5.4 million bookings cover radar, electronic warfare, communications, and other mission-critical defence systems.
