Farnell has expanded its EMEA range of Amphenol NEXUS connectors. The portfolio covers military audio, waterproof breakaway, TAC and Ranger products for demanding communications and control equipment.
Pasqal is now moving Europe’s Q-PLANET pilot line into implementation. The €50 million programme targets industrial-grade neutral-atom components, standardised design kits and repeatable fabrication.
JEDEC has published its first silicon photonics reliability standard JESD264. The framework covers qualification, manufacturing controls and responsibility across photonic dies, integrated chipsets and their supporting supply chain.
Ekinops will expand Bluebird Fiber’s Midwest network towards 400G services. The multi-year deployment uses coherent DWDM technology across a 36,000-route-mile fibre footprint spanning 12 US states.
TDK has demonstrated a 150nm meta-optic mirror for retinal displays. The transparent nanostructure replaces curved optics and is designed for semiconductor-style manufacture.
EPC has demonstrated GaN conversion from 800V to processor cores. Its 6kW platform steps to 6V before a 5MHz stage delivers 0.9V at 11A.
Toshiba has halved threshold drift in trench-gate silicon carbide MOSFETs. Revised gate-interface processing improves long-term stability while retaining low on-resistance.
onsemi and Synaptics have rewritten terms for their planned merger. The amended agreement replaces the original stock transaction with $123-per-share cash consideration.
Applied Materials and Besi are expanding advanced packaging collaboration further. The programme adds TCB, panel integration, and photonics work through Applied’s EPIC Center.
