Edinburgh will host the £18m UK Advanced Chip Design Academy. The Autumn Budget programme promises commercial design tools, training and opportunities for researchers to prototype, fabricate and test semiconductors.
-
Pickering enables remote control of PXI hardware through gateway software. Its gRPC Device Server exposes existing instrument driver functions to Windows and Linux applications without requiring local drivers on every client.
-
RECOM integrates four power MOSFETs into its RVP007 transformer driver. The 4.5–24 V IC supports isolated supply designs from 1 to 20 W, with programmable switching frequency and integrated protection.
-
AIXTRON’s semiconductor equipment orders climbed sharply during the third quarter. Optical communication demand leads the increase, with new GaN and SiC capacity orders indicating a more tentative recovery in power electronics.
-
UbiQD has secured funding for a fibre-coupled single-photon source prototype. The $200,000 New Mexico award supports optical equipment and quantum-dot characterisation, while room-temperature operation and reliable photon delivery remain development targets.
-
ASMPT recorded unprecedented orders for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing equipment. Third-quarter bookings reached HK$8.85bn, up 137.9% year on year, with demand for thermocompression bonding, photonics and surface-mount assembly systems.
-
SemiQ has introduced fourth-generation silicon carbide MOSFETs for power conversion. Its 750V and 1,200V devices offer specified on-resistance values of 9mΩ and 11mΩ respectively, with changes to cell geometry intended to reduce conduction and switching losses.
-
Seoul Viosys has started producing phosphor-free white microLED semiconductor devices. Its WICOP 3 architecture produces white emission from chips measuring 25 × 10µm, with the manufacturer reporting 0.015 lumens of output and luminous efficacy approaching 100lm/W.
