SK Hynix held a groundbreaking ceremony for its High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) production facility in West Lafayette, Indiana, on August 27, 2026. The $4 billion investment marks SK Hynix's first next-generation HBM production hub in the U.S., with plans to begin mass production of HBM4E chips in the s

This article explores how NVIDIA is increasingly behaving like an 'AI nation-state' in the artificial intelligence landscape. It argues that NVIDIA is strategically funding and supporting major AI infrastructure projects to expand its future market and build a defensible competitive moat. This appro

The Trump administration is reportedly considering expanding semiconductor tariffs to include end-user products such as laptops, gaming consoles, and data center servers, beyond chips themselves. This move could significantly impact global semiconductor supply chains. While the U.S. has already impo

SK Hynix held a groundbreaking ceremony for a $4 billion AI chip packaging facility in West Lafayette, Indiana, marking a major expansion of its U.S. operations amid surging demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) driven by artificial intelligence. The facility, expected to begin cleanroom operations

Nvidia expects its Vera Rubin platform to contribute around 20% of its data center revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2027, amounting to approximately $20 billion—marking the fastest product ramp in the company's history. While the actual shipment volumes are not exceptionally high, with es

This research focuses on critical contamination control technology development in semiconductor manufacturing. As semiconductor process nodes shrink from traditional micrometer-scale to nanometer-level, requirements for particle contamination control in manufacturing environments become increasingly

Nvidia reported record-breaking results for its second fiscal quarter of 2027, with GAAP revenue reaching $96.2 billion, up 106% year-over-year. The surge was driven by strong demand for its AI hardware, particularly in data centers, where sales hit $88.3 billion, up 114% YoY. Nvidia also committed

This article highlights TSE's expansion of stacked DRAM testing capabilities to support next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) technology. As demand for high-density, high-speed memory intensifies in AI, data centers, and high-performance computing, HBM's stacked chip architecture significantly

As artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent in edge devices, connectivity has emerged as a core component of edge AI system design. Beyond local inference, edge AI systems must also sense environments, process data locally, ensure secure communication, and respond promptly. Connectivity is now
