Applying our perspective to industry topics and trends
There has been seemingly no limit to the number of industries affected by the persistent semiconductor shortage. The automotive industry has been one of the hardest hit, as semiconductor chips are crucial for today’s car manufacturing process. As a result, more than 11 million vehicles had to be removed from production in 2021 due to […]
The semiconductor shortage has been ongoing since 2022, causing a series of bottlenecks for chip manufacturers and the industries that rely on them. Due to these barriers, the global semiconductor industry is predicted to decrease $67.4 billion in revenue from last year to present, necessitating a plan that combats the shortage and produces enough chips […]
Applied Energy Systems announces its newly designed Advantage™ APS80 series N2 purifier & APS60 series dual vessel H2 purifier.
Hydrogen is used in many processes across the semiconductor industry, like annealing, epitaxial growth, lithography, and as a carrier gas for hydride dopants. Hydrogen gas usage is only increasing, and along with that comes constraints on supply chains and markets. Hydrogen generation is also becoming more prevalent in order to mitigate traditional supply chain issue, […]
Working with gases can be dangerous. Gas leaks or gas contamination are serious events that can result in fire, explosions, physical harm, or even death. All of these outcomes jeopardize the safety of employees on site and risk damaging or destroying valuable equipment and property. Further, issues with gas can make an organization vulnerable to […]
The importance of medical devices and their proper use on patients cannot be understated today. And with ever-evolving technology comes new medical innovations, like wearable devices. These smart watches, sensors, and monitors can be placed on or inside the skin, making it imperative that the technology is flexible, durable, and safe. Along with these new […]
Applied Energy Systems announces that its ARM Purification division has debuted an updated Nova™ Series In-Line Gas Purifier.
It’s no secret that the semiconductor shortage has had a massive impact on various industries across the globe—from car manufacturing to smart devices to consumer products and more. And as the digital landscape evolves, semiconductor chips are needed more than ever. The world has been in agreement that something needed to be done about the […]
While the semiconductor shortage is still ongoing, the semiconductor sector itself is, at the same time, seeing a new wave of expansion, with demands for chip innovation growing larger each day. While chip innovation has taken off, Moore’s Law 2D scaling is stalling. Now, with each successive iteration, chip shrinking takes longer and is more […]
