Why Analog Electronics Still Matters in a Digital World

New Opportunities for Magnetometer Commercialization Driven by 795nm-1mW VCSELs What Makes 795nm-1mW VCSELs Stand Out Compact Size and Efficiency Just as smartphones replaced bulky telephones, 795nm-1mW VCSELs are transforming photonics. They combine small form factor with high efficiency, making them ideal for portable devices. Low power consumption is particularly important for battery-powered applications in the field. The Sweet Spot of 795nm Wavelength The 795nm wavelength corresponds to specific atomic transitions critical in advanced magnetic sensing. This makes 795nm-1mW VCSELs a natural choice for atomic magnetometers, where precision and stability are essential. Why Magnetometers Need a Boost Beyond labs: Traditional magnetometers were sensitive but large and costly. Portable demand: Industries and healthcare need scalable, mobile solutions. Here, 795nm-1mW VCSELs fill the gap by enabling lightweight, field-ready tools. Why Ace Photonics Co., Ltd. Leads Flexible Customization: Packaging （Magnetic or non-magnetic ）, optical windows, and housing all tailored. Customer Collaboration: Close partnerships drive innovation and application-specific solutions. https://lnkd.in/gmADrK6G

📱 SK Hynix isn’t just leading in HBM – it’s now launching mobile DRAM with industry-first High-K EMC, boosting thermal conductivity 3.5×! Could this finally fix overheating in flagship smartphones? 🔎 EMC (Epoxy Molding Compound) is a key semiconductor packaging material that shields chips from water, heat, impact, and electrostatic charge, while also serving as a heat dissipation channel. 💡More: https://buff.ly/QmIO89D 🔗 #SKhynix #DRAM

📱 Have you ever wondered 𝙝𝙤𝙬 your smartphone, laptop, or car electronics keep running so smoothly — with stable power and clear signals? It’s thanks to 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙪𝙢 — a Critical Raw Material hidden inside tiny capacitors (MLCCs) on circuit boards. 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙪𝙢 is used in the electrodes of MLCCs, which regulate voltage and filter electrical “noise”. These invisible building blocks are everywhere — in your phone, computer, medical devices, and even in automotive control units — keeping electronics stable, reliable, and long-lasting. While many capacitors now use nickel, Palladium remains essential in high-reliability capacitors found in critical electronics such as medical devices, telecom, and automotive systems. This year, International #ewasteday – 14 October 2025 – will spotlight Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) — elements mined in only a handful of countries, yet crucial to the green and digital transition. Whether you’re a company, a school, an NGO or a public authority, you can join the movement! Organise an event, a campaign or an awareness initiative, and register your activity to be part of a global effort to reduce e-waste and recover valuable materials: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZifT6V ♻️ Recycle your e-waste – It’s critical!

The WEEE Forum is shining a spotlight on the critical raw materials hidden in our everyday electricals - from gold and silver to palladium and rare earth elements. Each post highlights why these materials matter, the risks of losing them, and the opportunities to keep them in circulation. As the UK lead for International E-Waste Day (IEWD), Ecogenesys is encouraging everyone to read, share, and act on this important knowledge. By spreading awareness, we can all play a part in building a stronger circular economy and keeping these valuable materials in circulation.

On September 12, 2025, SK hynix announced it had successfully developed and started mass production of HBM4. Naturally, the industry’s attention turned to one question: Did it include hybrid bonding? Although both Samsung and SK hynix have signaled plans to adopt hybrid bonding, this announcement made no mention of it. Based on prior disclosures and process trends, SK hynix appears to be using an advanced MR-MUF technology for early HBM4 production. Hybrid bonding is likely still in development for future high-stack products like 16-high HBM4 and 20-high HBM5. Hybrid bonding remains a hot topic across packaging engineers, tool vendors, and global investors. With a background spanning mechanical engineering, law, and AI computing, I’ve worked extensively on patents in memory and LED semiconductors. One key lesson from this experience is clear: even the most advanced technology must be clearly explained to be truly impactful. That’s why I’ve written this short piece—to break down the essentials of hybrid bonding in a way that connects its technical promise to broader market strategy.

#TSMC #2nm Gains Steam: #MediaTek Completes First #2nm Tape-Out as #Apple Preps #A20, #M6, #R2 With #TSMC’s #2nm process set for mass production in H2 2025, several major clients are already on board, and Taiwan’s #MediaTek is the latest to join. The #smartphone #chipmaker announced today the successful tape-out of its first flagship #SoC on #TSMC’s #2nm process, with mass production scheduled for late 2026, according to its press release. While #MediaTek has not officially named the chip, #MyDrivers suggests that the first #2nm flagship #SoC could very well be the next-generation Dimensity 9 series—the Dimensity 9600. Meanwhile, #Apple is also leading the charge in adopting #TSMC’s cutting-edge #2nm #node. According to Commercial Times, the high-end iPhone 18 in 2026 will feature Apple’s first in-house #C2 #modem #chip alongside the #A20 #processor built on #2nm. The #MacBook #M6 and #VisionPro #R2 #chips are also expected to adopt the #2nm technology, marking a wider rollout across Apple’s products, the report indicates. With multiple clients betting on the node, #TSMC is actively expanding its production capacity, including 2nm and #WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) lines. Supply chain sources cited by Commercial Times say #TSMC’s #2nm output could reach 40,000 wafers per month by year-end and near 100,000 wafers in 2026, while #WMCM capacity may hit 70,000–80,000 units by late 2026, mainly through upgrades to existing InFO packaging lines. It is also worth noting that industry insiders cited by Commercial Times point out that #TSMC’s #2nm process, featuring #GAA nanosheet architecture, maintains #EUV layer counts similar to #3nm, resulting in a more attractive cost structure and higher client adoption interest. Compared with #TSMC’s existing #N3E #technology, the enhanced #2nm process offers 1.2× higher logic density, delivers up to 18% performance gains at the same power, or reduces power consumption by around 36% at the same speed, according to the company. More big techs may also be eyeing #TSMC’s #2nm node. As Commercial Times reported, #AMD’s upcoming Venice is expected to be the first #HPC product built on #TSMC’s #2nm process. Meanwhile, #NVIDIA plans to adopt the #A16 chip in its next-gen Feynman architecture, aiming to counter #AMD’s lead—making it one of the first #2nm adopters as well, the report suggested. https://lnkd.in/gaDXPPfM
