The highly complex, technology-intensive and diverse global electronics market, valued at several billions of dollars, is expected to post a strong average annual growth rate in the short- term. Growth will be influenced by important trends in the market, which will boost demand for wafers, IC devices, software and components, PCBs, materials, equipment, services and semiconductor packaging. New developments in the sector would be propelled by newer geographical markets as well as technological advancemen  

Currently unable to quickly respond to short lead-time orders from customers, Aptina imaging seems to be interested in transforming Micron's Japanese semiconductor manufacturing plant into a producer of CMOS image sensors. Aptina CEO David Orton stressed the fact that the cause for this current inability was in no way due to insufficient capacity on Aptina's side, instead saying that its clients were the ones placing too many short lead-time orders. Just like the Italy-based fab owned by the same compan

Sony Corp. Chairman Howard Stringer forecast 3-D movies, pictures and games will be the electronics maker's next $10 billion business, challenging investors and analysts who say the technology isn't ready to become mainstream. The maker of Bravia televisions and PlayStation 3 game consoles said Thursday 3-D-related products, excluding content, will generate more than ¥1 trillion in the 12 months ending in March 2013. The Tokyo-based company will begin offering TVs, Blu-ray players and game consoles that

Sony just announced plans to launch an online store selling music, movies, and books as well as other downloadable applications for mobile products. Sony's top execs didn't specify when the Internet store, tentatively called Sony Online Service, would go live or what it would look like. But the storefront is likely to bear some similarities to Apple's iTunes store, according to BusinessWeek, and would be Sony's most ambitious attempt to link its products to its own library of digital content.  

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Labs have come up with a tool to gauge a semiconductor facility 's energy and water consumption , and compare against similar facilities, to identify areas of improvement -- all toward the pursuit of a "greener" industry. The Fabs21 beta tool draws on research at Lawrence Berkeley Labs examining other high-tech facilities (labs, data centers, cleanrooms), as well as survey methods/data collected by the Semiconductor Industry Association
