Unlocking compound semiconductor manufacturing’s potential requires yield management
This article is the second in a series from PDF Solutions on why adopting big data platforms will transform the compound semiconductor industry. The first part “Accelerating silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing with big data platforms” was recently published on EDN. Compound semiconductors such as SiC are revolutionizing industries with their ability to handle high-power, high-frequency,…

Intel hedges its bet for High-NA EUV with the 14A process node — an alternate Low-NA technique has identical yield and design rules
Intel explained the rationale behind its High-NA EUV strategy at its Intel Foundry Direct 2025 conference this week. Despite persistent questions around cost-effectiveness, Intel has championed its use of the new High-NA EUV chipmaking tool with its forthcoming 14A process. However, Intel has not yet fully committed to using the new tool in production, but…
