Taiwan's recent earthquake revealed just how fragile countries are to unexpected natural disasters, despite preparation. Severe weather phenomena, also known as "billion-dollar" weather events are on the rise and could be catastrophic for the semiconductor supply chain if geopolitical diversity is not prioritized.

Let's go back to the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in China and discuss the impact it has had on the semiconductor industry globally. Is Coronavirus the next great challenge to the semiconductor supply chain?

Take a look at what will be the most important electronic technologies emerging and the semiconductor components they will thrust into the spotlight in 2020.

Moore’s Law, which states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every two years has pretty much held up since the early 1970s. At that time, there were up to 5,000 transistors in advanced integrated circuits. Today, that figure is roughly 50 billion. At some point, designers and engineers wondered, “Wouldn’t physical space limits eventually make Moore’s Law obsolete?”

With semiconductors, the future is always today. Rapid advancements in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and applications continue to drive technology forward.

Explore the key differences between semiconductors, conductors, and insulators. Regardless of how you contribute to your company’s SCM process, it helps to know the differences between each part.

The ExaMAX® contact system achieves two reliable points of contact at all times and minimizes residual stub for improved signal integrity performance, while providing low mating force and excellent contact normal force. Signal wafers incorporate a one-piece, embossed ground structure which improves crosstalk performance.
