Dutch semiconductor equipment startup Nearfield Instruments has completed a US$380 million Series D funding round, the largest-ever fundraising for a Dutch deep-tech company. The company is now targeting an initial public offering (IPO) in 2028.

As Moore's Law approaches its physical limits, simply shrinking semiconductor process nodes is no longer the sole path to improving chip performance.

Applied Materials announced a new equipment platform aimed at addressing the memory bandwidth and energy-efficiency bottleneck confronting AI computing, unveiling tools across DRAM, advanced packaging, and process control to help chipmakers boost yields and accelerate mass production. The company said the platform combines materials engineering with process integration to support high-bandwidth me

Artificial intelligence is reshaping semiconductor manufacturing, and KLA CorporationKLAC appears to be one of the biggest beneficiaries. While AI demand is boosting chipmakers' investments in advanced logic and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), it is also increasing the need for sophisticated process control solutions that improve yield, reliability and manufacturing efficiency. KLA's third-quarter f
