(Source: SK ecoplant) TEMC CNS has begun supplying Central Chemical Supply Systems (CCSS) to SK hynix, indicating that construction of the chipmaker's first fabrication plant (fab) at its Yongin Semiconductor Cluster has been completed and the project has entered the cleanroom installation phase. TEMC CNS said on June 26 that it ha

Samsung Electro-Mechanics (Semco) is rapidly gaining ground in the silicon capacitor market as AI infrastructure investment and technology upgrades accelerate demand. After landing its first major silicon capacitor order, the company is in talks with additional potential customers, while its multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) business is also expanding and operating profit is expected to hit a re

AI demand for high-performance chips is driving up orders for semiconductor silicon capacitors, or Si-Caps, with Samsung Electro-Mechanics and several Taiwanese memory makers emerging as key names to watch. Supply-chain sources say the shift could reshape who captures future demand for advanced packaging.

In the domain of AI silicon, raw performance specifications convey only a portion of the overall picture. Marketing materials frequently emphasize headline figures like trillions of operations per second, tensor throughput, matrix dimensions, and accelerator density. However, engineers constructing these systems recognize a more complex reality: computational performance is only meaningful when da

Passive component manufacturer Yageo held its 2026 annual shareholders meeting on May 27. In a post-meeting interview, chairman Pierre Chen confirmed that the world's two largest multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) makers, Japan's Murata Manufacturing and South Korea's Samsung Electro-Mechanics (Semco), have recently issued price increase notices to customers and distributors.
