Why Automation, Not Wafer Size, Determines Semiconductor Fab Cycle Time
New 200 mm capacity is often built from scratch or heavily refurbished, making it easier to apply the same automation patterns used in 300 mm fabs. The result is convergence; wafer diameter still affects output per lot, but it no longer indicates the level of automation.
Inspecting Miniaturization: How 2D Laser Profilers Handle Tiny Electronic Components
The miniature size of modern electronic components makes placement, mounting, soldering, and testing of said components rather difficult. Given their size and the overall component density on the PCB, visual inspection is nearly impossible.
Semiconductor Chiplet: New Design Offers Auto Manufacturers Big Benefits

It's particularly challenging to be too reliant on battery-powered IoT devices in industries like manufacturing and logistics. Many factories now have 24/7 operations, meaning there are no feasible downtime periods for recharging.
GF Raises the Bar for Sustainability, Efficiency with Expansion in Singapore
In today's world, a semiconductor fab's performance isn't only measured by wafer output and yields, but also by how efficiently and sustainably it uses natural resources, and how effectively it minimizes the impacts of manufacturing on its neighborhood.
