Access to semiconductors and their production chain is the only gateway to developing a productive digital economy. The value of this initiative will transcend national borders and have immediate impact on the regional ecosystem in its way to create a diverse, balanced and inclusive global digital economy.

💰 Despite incentives to boost domestic manufacturing, rising construction costs are halting Asian manufacturers' U.S. projects. Unforeseen challenges, including a sharp rise in materials costs (steel up by 70% since 2020), are causing companies like Panasonic, TSMC, and LG Energy to delay or abandon significant projects.

ASM first in semiconductor industry to have net-zero target verified by SBTi SM is the first company in the semiconductor sector to receive SBTi’s verification of its net-zero target, the most ambitious target designation available through the SBTi process. ASM’s approved science-based near-term and long-term targets are: Near-term: Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50.4% by 2032 from a 2021 base year; and reduce scope 3 GHG emissions 58.2% per EUR of value-added gross profits within the same timeframe Long-term: Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2035 from a 2021 base year; and reduce scope 3 GHG emissions 97% per EUR of value-added gross profits within the same timeframe Overall net-zero: Reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2035. The strategy is to prioritize direct emissions for decarbonization and neutralizing all residual emissions Source: https://lnkd.in/dnuMnzZW

Another positive sign for the Offshore Wind industry and indeed the North East of England. As described in the recent Offshore Wind Industrial Growth Plan, creating opportunities is linked to several factors which amongst other things includes test and demonstration facilities. Once completed these new facilities shall enable organisations to mature products and prove innovations in technology that ensure reliability of systems in the operations.

Building Our Capability - exponential demand across the supply chain with maturing capability readiness to support growth across defense and space is showcasing the talent, skills, intelligence and intellectual assets available within existing and emerging industries across Australia. South Australia is a shining benchmark to showcase and pivot technology, and the role in innovative business transformation, to be the front runner in ready capability, supporting directly and indirectly the necessary partnerships required to support Defence.

“Investigation of acceleration factors of the HV-H3TRB test on 3.3kV SiC SBDs” is one of Mitsubishi Electric Europe - Semiconductor topics at EPE'23 ECCE Europe in Aalborg, Denmark, 4-8 September 2023. Recently transition from Si-IGBT module to SiC-MOSFET modules in the railway application is ongoing. Although humidity issue is one of the main concerns, humidity robustness of high voltage SiC modules has not been well investigated. In this paper, acceleration factors of the HV-H3TRB test on 3.3 kV SiC-SBDs are investigated. This investigation is based on varied condition of temperature, relative humidity, and voltage. Also, the result is compared with that of HVIGBT. Also after listening to the presentation on Wednesday, 6 September at 14:10 pm feel warmly invited to visit the Mitsubishi Electric Europe – Semiconductor booth and discuss directly with their team. 

LFP Batteries: A Cost-Effective Solution for Energy Needs 🔋💡 Did you know that LFP batteries are a lower-cost option compared to NMC and NCA batteries? While traditional batteries require expensive and scarce materials like nickel and cobalt, LFP batteries use lithium iron phosphate, which is more abundant and affordable. This makes LFP batteries not only a cost-effective choice but also a more sustainable one. Their production bypasses supply chain issues and inflated prices, ensuring a stable and reliable energy source. Want to learn more about how LFP batteries can benefit your energy solutions?

Optimal osseointegration potential = better patient outcome potential

Excited to present next week all about the requirements for Objective Evidence as required by changes to IPC J-STD-001. Objective Evidence is the evolution of test methods that have been used since the 70’s! I don’t need to tell anyone that electronics has changed since then… It focuses on the effects of Electro Chemical Migration (ECM) which is a major failure point in PCB’s, especially as packaging and components are getting smaller and smaller. We focus on process control tools which provide empirical data to ensure reliability of PCB’s.
