Analog Devices (ADI) announced that it has completed its acquisition of Empower Semiconductor, a move it said is designed to bolster the company's role as a comprehensive power partner spanning the entire AI ecosystem, from grid infrastructure to core computing systems.
Infineon has secured a final US import ban against Innoscience after the US International Trade Commission's May 7 ruling was upheld following the presidential review period, confirming that the Chinese GaN power semiconductor maker infringed an Infineon patent. The decision blocks the import and sale of Innoscience's infringing gallium nitride (GaN) products in the US market.
Aurona Industries said demand for its PCB process materials remains strong, with order intake rising year over year, and high-end products in particular are seeing robust traction. The company's update reflects continued momentum for global electronics supply chains, as AI-related upgrades and high-speed computing fuel broader demand across Asia.
AI servers are tightening Taiwan's power component supply chain, lifting demand for MOSFETs, PMICs, cooling motors and power management products even as weak PC demand limits suppliers' ability to pass on higher costs.
A Chinese research team has developed a phase-change memristor-based neural dynamical system chip, offering a potential hardware path for real-time brain modeling, brain-computer interfaces, and brain disease diagnosis.
PCB maker Zhen Ding said June revenue climbed to a fresh 2026 high, extending strong year-over-year growth as demand for AI-related high-end applications continued to build.
Unimicron Technology has priced a large overseas depositary receipt sale that could affect global investors monitoring Taiwan's electronics supply chain and semiconductor-related financing trends. The deal, which will fund foreign-currency purchases, is expected to reduce interest costs and strengthen the company's balance sheet, with potential benefits for shareholders worldwide.
AI server demand is lifting shipments of motor-related power devices at Cystech Electronics, helping the Taiwanese MOSFET and diode designer grow first-half 2026 revenue despite memory shortages weighing on networking products. Wafer foundry and packaging capacity remain tight, with rush orders pushing standard lead times from 180 days to 270 days, according to supply chain sources.
LandMark Optoelectronics (LMOC) posted record-high single-month revenue in June 2026 and is stepping up its expansion plans to prepare for demand beyond 2028, as silicon photonics (SiPh) revenue is expected to triple in 2026. The optical communications epitaxial wafer (epi-wafer) maker said revenue rose for the eleventh consecutive month, reflecting tighter capacity and stronger data center demand.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics signed a final agreement on July 2 with Sumitomo Chemical's Korean subsidiary Dongwoo Fine-Chem to form a joint venture that will produce glass cores, a key material used in next-generation semiconductor package substrates, the companies said.
