    How is backside power really done?

    What a great post. Thanks. This is amazing "in some tests they thinned wafers until they hit the shallow trench isolation and they still got good device performance after annealing the wafer."

    $90M CHIPS Act Funding To Spur Microchip Expansion In Colorado

    MicroChip isn't expanding to make F-35 parts. Fabs have been operating at this altitude for decades. Not an concern. "invest $880M to expand its silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon (Si) production capacity at its Colorado Springs, Colo. manufacturing facility over the next several years...

    Samsung targets chip fabs without human staff by 2030

    TSMC's new fab is in Arizona. Samsung's is in Texas. Both states have large Hispanic populations. It sounds like you are suggesting that if all training material was available in Spanish and the trainers were fluent in Spanish, then TSMC could stop by Home Depot's parking lot and staff up...

    TSMC’s N3P to Enter Mass Production in the Second Half of Next Year, Rumored Inclusion of Tesla in Customer List

    Number of iphones sold per year is roughly 100X the number of teslas sold per year. Are the number of cutting edge chips per car enough to make Tesla's volume more than 10% that of apple?

    U.S. wants to contain China's chip industry. This startup shows it won't be easy

    OPC is part of the work flow and is very important, but saying it is employed for design of chips seems like sloppy writing to me. Just me?

    How China's chip production boomed in 2023 despite sanctions

    Was this pasted in from the techovedas.com link which wants to install a browser extension to view their "insights"? I'm sure some 200 mm fully depreciated lines are profitable, but I doubt there will be significant growth in 200 mm silicon foundry revenue.

    An interview with Tom Caulfield and a second interview with Ann Kelleher

    The title for the Tom Caulfield interview is ridiculous, so I expected the content to be terrible. I actually found it to be decent. Questions like Dan suggested would have been good, but this isn't hard hitting journalism. Does GF have enough business for their enhanced legacy nodes, and are...

    ASML says Decoupling Chip Supply Chain is Practically Impossible

    As I understood it, the ASML exec was using decoupling to mean having all suppliers within a single country. So for ASML that would mean replicating Zeiss-Germany and Cymer-USA in the Netherlands. That will be difficult and expensive.
