InP compound semiconductors break AI power and bandwidth barriers (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Indium phosphide (InP) and other compound semiconductors are taking on a bigger role as demand rises for highly efficient light emission and ultra-high-frequency transmission. Their lower electron scattering and lower loss characteristics position them to help break through AI's energy and bandwidth barriers....

China′s semiconductor godfather warns against 2nm fixation (Digitimes)
|
|
|
While the global semiconductor industry remains fixated on 3nm, 2nm, and the AI GPU arms race, SMIC founder and "China's semiconductor godfather" Zhang Rujing is pushing a sharply different message: the future of China's chip industry may depend less on chasing the world's most advanced nodes and more on dominating the vast market still built on mature processes....
