Cheng Mei accelerates semiconductor shift as polarizer market faces cost pressure (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Cheng Mei Materials is expanding into semiconductor materials to support supply chain adjustments for outsourced chip assembly and test customers worldwide. The company's progress with customers in China and Taiwan could lift shipments in the second half of 2025, even as its core polarizer business faces weaker demand, cost pressure, and tighter order cycles....

IBM′s 0.7nm chip claim revives debate over semiconductor node naming (Digitimes)
|
|
|
As semiconductor manufacturing enters the 2nm era, conventional transistor scaling is approaching its physical limits. On June 25, 2026, IBM unveiled what it described as the world's first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, featuring a 0.7nm (7-angstrom) process node. The research chip integrates nearly 100 billion transistors into an area roughly the size of a fingernail, marking a significant milestone in semiconductor scaling....

Taiwan starts collecting carbon fee, with highest amount from semiconductor firms (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Taiwan's carbon fee system has begun collecting payments, with the first batch covering 240 high-emitting companies across 461 factories and generating NT$4.97 billion (US$156.07 million) in initial revenue. Taiwan also plans to roll out an emissions trading system (ETS) in 2028, initially targeting 20 major emitters in the steel, cement, and semiconductor sectors....

Naphtha supply risk adds pressure to semiconductor materials (Digitimes)
|
|
|
A crude oil shortage tied to the US-Iran war is raising concern about naphtha, a refinery byproduct used deep in industrial supply chains. While a direct semiconductor shortage is not yet seen, higher input costs are already spreading, and global manufacturers may face longer-term pressure if disruptions persist worldwide....
