Protec MEMS Technology Orders Maskless Lithography System from EVG

The LITHOSCALE system will be installed at PMT’s headquarters in Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-Do, South Korea, where it will be used in the production of next-generation MEMS-based probe cards for wafer-level testing of advanced NAND, DRAM and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) devices.

Atomic Layer Deposition Gains Traction in More-than-Moore Device Production

ALD adoption is likely to continue despite aggravating supply chain issues and production costs.

Samsung Brings In-memory Processing Power to Wider Range of Applications

Samsung’s revelations at Hot Chips include the first successful integration of its PIM-enabled High Bandwidth Memory (HBM-PIM) into a commercialized accelerator system, and broadened PIM applications to embrace DRAM modules and mobile memory.

Five Trends That Will Shape the Future Semiconductor Technology Landscape

Is Moore’s Law still alive, and which applications will benefit from ultra-scaled technologies? How will data centers cope with the overwhelming amount of data? And will we be able to break the memory wall in traditional Von Neumann computing architectures?

How COVID-19 is Impacting the Memory Industry

Heading into 2020 both the DRAM and NAND industries were projected to have turn-around years after suffering through much of 2018 and 2019. However, with the global lockdown triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic the outlook for the industry has changed considerably, and not all the change is for the worse. In this article we explore the impact on memory demand, how suppliers are expected to react to the pandemic, and the likely impact to pricing over the near-to-midterm.
