Epistar optimistic Micro LED is expected to import VR and AR equipment

Micro LED and OLED technology can be seen as a counter display technology, Apple will next year with the wisdom of introducing Micro LED watches, chip crystal power plant will look forward to new areas of the chip to the effective production capacity, the more optimistic Micro LED OLED with low power and high performance high luminance characteristics, end-use applications is expected to achieve market share.

It is understood that next year Apple will be the first time with wisdom watches Micro LED, replace the currently used OLED display panel, due to cost approximately $ 8.5 spread, the product is expected to import high-end models, and feature low power consumption will help resolve the current wisdom watch battery problem, prompting Apple and actively develop new technology applications; Taiwan plant is expected next year will determine the watch Apple wisdom Micro lED technology can be successfully introduced into the application side.

Foreign noted, Micro LED due to the high contrast and a high resolution, so in addition to wearable device applications, have the opportunity to follow import VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) means the technology is mature after five years can not rule out entering other mobile devices and larger displays; if the technology gain market acceptance, the wafer will effectively reverse the current situation of excess supply.

Epistar said that the current Micro LED technology matures can be gradually introduced into the device, the current wafer production is not the problem but rather Lei wafer transfer shall be time-consuming, the current shift can only transfer 50 000 Micro LED, and the need to smartphones 5 million points of mobile computing, a mobile phone need 10 working days, so hard to import mobile device in the short term, will initially import low demand wisdom watches, is expected next year to see the wisdom of using the Micro LED watch, three years after the expected into the mobile space.

According to legal sources, crystal power last year to enter the Apple Watch intelligence application health monitoring optical sensing modules, this year is expected to enlarge the supply of the first generation of next year using MicroLED the iWatch, Epistar have the opportunity to supply a small amount, to the next generation supply will be magnified.

Breakthrough chip semiconductor industry evolved again

Semiconductor manufacturers and equipment suppliers, smartphone and PC market saturation, can not drive sales growth, the traditional practices of the past, the production of more powerful chips, it is difficult to expect to reverse the decline, and now the industry to adopt new technologies, such as fully depleted coated silicon (FD-SOI) and 3DNAND on type insulation.

The Wall Street Journal reported that performance pressure faced by the semiconductor industry and has led the whole trend, the latest data also pointed out that this year the global semiconductor equipment manufacturer revenue is probably grow by only 1 percent to $ 36.94 billion, while the wafer revenue may decline 2.4 percent, bad is wisdom slowing the growth of the mobile phone, PC market is shrinking. The semiconductor industry are asking: Where is the next growth opportunity?

Today, many operators have adopted new materials and new production technologies to cope with changes in the market, these industry optimistic about the networking device needs, but things wafer demand is not the same as asking wafer costs at less than $ 1, and can be run for several years, not need to replace the battery.

GlobalFoundries (GlobalFoundries) and rival Samsung Electronics has adopted known as FD-SOI technology, this technology has advantages in power consumption and cost, rely on semiconductor wafers French manufacturer Soitec specially tailored.

Soitec CEO Bourdelle said the Japanese technology giant Sony recently designed smart phone GPS chips will use FD-SOI technology, power consumption is only one-tenth of the results of the wafer original wafer, allowing users to more frequent use of satellite positioning technology, Do not worry too much electricity will eat your phone.

Some in the industry have not started production of smaller transistors, the further tap the potential of the wafer, NAND flash memory manufacturers have to 3DNAND way through the stacked multilayer circuit to enhance performance. This technique requires a lot of production and procurement of equipment, and therefore so many companies can benefit, Applied Materials (AppliedMaterials) is one of them.

Coated silicon (FullyDepletedSilicon-on-Insular, FD-SOI) is on a full depletion type insulated fin field effect transistor (FinFET) and Three gate transistor architecture (Tri-Gate) of complementary technologies, it can be regarded as look at things with the car market substituted FinFET ideal alternative, which features low power consumption, better performance and cost effectiveness. Currently supports FD-SOI wafer foundries include GlobalFoundries and Samsung Electronics.

Frequent behind the acquisition is Cisco’s strategic transformation

The “Acquisition Master,” said Cisco has recently announced a new deal.

The acquisition of cloud security company CloudLock, the total transaction price of $ 293 million. This is Cisco’s fifth launched this year were acquisitions.

As the world’s largest network equipment maker Cisco pioneered the “all things Internet” cloud computing, big data, and so is an important part of its business to digital transformation. Including the acquisition, including the acquisition is more than the industry believe that Cisco plot self “salvation” another move. However, for this performance, Cisco’s market capitalization pulling is not obvious.

Leaving many industry insiders worried that Cisco has chosen a “congestion” on the road, filled with a rival. It has not yet formed its own competitive advantages Cisco wants destined not easy to break.

The acquisition of more and more “soft”

Cisco’s development process has always been associated with the acquisition. Public information, Cisco almost every six weeks will launch a takeover.

Before the acquisition of cloud security firm CloudLock, Cisco has gradually acquired Things startups Jasper Technologies, hybrid cloud service providers CliQr, chipmakers Leaba, cloud search technology start-ups Synata.

It is worth mentioning that Cisco in February to $ 1.4 billion income shopping network platform provider Jasper Technologies, Cisco is not only the past two years, the biggest deal, also considered to be the largest merger in the field of things a lot of people in the industry one. After the acquisition, Jasper can not only provide Cisco networking platform that can expand Cisco’s security, advanced analytics and other networking services.

The recent acquisition of cloud security company CloudLock, are mainly used to strengthen security technology cloud. Acquired in March cloud search technology start-ups Synata, is used to support Cisco’s cloud-based collaboration services “Cisco Spark” end to end encryption services.

Also in early March launch of CliQr USD 260 million acquisition of its technical essence is to help customers select the most suitable cloud service providers.

“Not only these five acquisitions, Cisco’s recent multi acquisitions revolves around cloud computing, software and services large data, expand the” Cisco’s cloud computing and insiders digital service sector pointed out that with the hardware more standardized software gives hardware the soul, innovative IT industry increasingly occur in the software field. By hardware such as routers and switches, Cisco fortune, acquisitions are occurring more and more in software and services.

Typically, it is determined whether or not the acquisition is successful venture is nothing less than whether the acquisition of a controlled and whether the acquisition fit the company long-term development and the interests of the two standards.

The source admitted that the subject must meet Cisco acquired by the transformation direction. The senior vice president of Cisco’s global cloud business two years ago, Nick Earle told the media made it clear that, in recent years, Cisco launched the acquisition of up to 173, all with cloud computing, big data correlation.

In fact, half of this year’s five acquisitions, Leaba acquisition only semiconductor company, is one of the few in recent years, a Cisco hardware acquisitions. It is reported that, Leaba products will become part of Cisco’s core hardware acquisition. In this regard, while the person also said that the final acquisition of the hardware but also software and services in order to expand the extension.

Specific to the mode of acquisition point of view, compared to many companies adopted “She Tunxiang” acquisition mode, willing to spend billions of dollars, will inevitably produce integration in place, rejection reactions. Cisco’s acquisition of more than trace amounts generally less than two digits, like “chipping away” “ism” appear to be more prominent.

“Not only is Cisco’s acquisition model, but also foreign IT enterprises generally acquisition of style ‘Alliance founder Wang Yanhui China Mobile, frankly, a relatively small amount of controlled acquisitions, integration of the difficulty, the risk of failure coefficient; and in view of the technology giant in the field of hardware has become oligopolies and barriers to entry, a large Zaixun find suitable acquisition targets difficult. And software, services and other areas are full of small businesses everywhere, and the software is derived from services, which also fit the needs of the present with Cisco as the representatives of international IT giants from hardware to “software and service” orientation transformation.

And He Jun, general manager of Cisco Greater China Cloud computing and digital media services sector last year had publicly stated that “a new era of IT really can not use the traditional thinking, innovation comes from small US companies, shares of Cisco do not want to stifle this innovation . ”

More and more difficult nut to “bone”

Behind the frequent acquisition is Cisco’s strategic transformation.

According to Cisco’s John Chambers soul-type figure division, from 2010 to 2030 it will no longer be the information age, but the digital age. He made it clear that “all things Internet” will promote the growth of Cisco’s next decade.

Cisco at the end of 2012 for the first time that “all things Internet” strategy. It is also the first dedicated to “all things Internet IOT” of the company. Then put forward the vision of all the global cloud joined together to establish a unified data platform –Intercloud worldwide. By Intercloud, Cisco wants to isolate the cloud together, to break down barriers to data, promoting the arrival of a new wave of all things Internet. It is seen as Cisco’s strategic transformation engine of development.

Around the “all things Internet” strategy, Cisco’s business structure has also changed. Data center virtualization, software, security, and other cloud by Cisco as a key growth area, especially in the data center business is placed Cisco’s expectations.

“Cisco’s strategic transition path is clear, but the performance boost is not obvious.” An IT industry observers have pointed out, Cisco in May 2011 after the reorganization of the transition, clearly aware of the need in addition to the traditional hardware and software to find, new growth pole of services and other areas.

However, nearly three years of earnings data show that the traditional product category still accounted for over 70% of income, no service revenue is always less than 30%. 2015 fiscal year report shows that service class income share holding of 23.2%, compared to fiscal 2014 decreased 0.1%. Specific to the business income, routers, switches and other still occupy nearly half of total revenue. The data center business is only $ 3.22 billion, accounted for only 6.55% of total revenue, in fiscal year 2014 also accounted for only 5.60%.

At the same time, “all things Internet” Cisco’s strategy to enhance the market value is not significant. As of July 5, Cisco shares closed at $ 28.43, the market value of about $ 142.995 billion, less than March 28, 2001, Cisco peak of $ 555.44 billion 1/3.

Many people in the industry view, the current “cloud computing”, “big data” are two major trends in the IT industry innovation, but are two sides of the same coin. Cisco selected transition road no doubt, but a lively, bustling and full of rival.

According to the latest data for the first quarter Synergy Research Group released: AWS with 31% market share, still dominate the cloud services market; Microsoft, IBM, Google in the second echelon, a total of 22% of the market share. Industry consulting firm Gartner published last August in the analysis report, AWS has a computing power of 14-bit computing the sum of the competitors ability 5 times. The second tier of Microsoft and Google, also by more than 100% annual growth rate of struggling to catch up.

“Right now occupies the tip of cloud computing are defended by the enemy and doing my part. Cisco does not fear layout contrary to industry trends, but finding a place of their own lack of differentiated competitive advantage.” Societe Generale Securities (7.690, -0.02, -0.26%) iT industry analyst who asked not to be named, said the Amazon in 2006 took the lead in the layout of cloud computing, e-commerce and its computing capacity has become an absolute advantage. Microsoft in personal and business software, Google in Web search and advertising algorithms form their own competitive barriers.

Clearly, Cisco recognizes its own cloud computing software platform to build on and opportunities have been missed, and the lack of killer embarrassment identity. After it raises all Internet strategy, it represents itself will focus on cloud computing software and hosting services.

However, it also appears to be too perfect.

“IT enterprise cloud computing business had not split, but mutual integration.” The analyst said, Amazon, Microsoft, in addition to providing a platform software, accompanied provide hosting services; on the other hand, Cisco is hoping to open up the Amazon, Microsoft , Google and other cloud their closed environment, “Cisco so directly out of” the analyst said, valuable imaginative cloud computing market, the opportunity to leave a little striking.

The world’s thinnest flexible photovoltaic Korean born thickness of a human hair in diameter one percent

How thin the thinnest solar energy? The latest record was 1 micron. This is equivalent to one percent of the diameter of a human hair, which is the number one percent of traditional standard solar cells.

Ultra-thin, if realized, solar cells will become more broad application space, no longer confined to the ground station or the roof. PV systems can be attached to a variety of surfaces, such as wearable energy equipment as well as vehicles, appliances, buildings.

Recently, South Korean scientists Juho Kim et al., “Applied Physics Letters” (Applied Physics Letters) published the latest research, the introduction of ultra-thin solar cells. Although thin, but the battery is not low conversion efficiency, compared with a thickness of about 3.5 m solar cells, it can produce the same power, but the thickness is reduced to a quarter.

Korean researchers try to inorganic compound semiconductor devices and micro-battery bendable or malleable substrates together, by reducing the thickness of the battery to increase its flexibility for the use of these micro-cell device as clothes, skin and other wearable portable electronic device It provides the possibility of power.

In the past, production, due to the electronic components that need to be adhered to the substrate, the thickness of the adhesive will be an additional battery, the new study uses a “cold welding” method, the material in the top layer of photoresist 170 degrees Celsius By melting, and then welded to the electrode substrate. After the resist will be stripped in the cooling process so that adhesive does not cause an increase in thickness of the battery.

Reducing the thickness of a microelectronic device’s battery is conducive to adapt to a variety of electronic devices for everyday use in the extreme case of bending. In general, the thinner the microelectronic devices, by bending of the pressure the smaller, more easily bent. Meanwhile, the admirable flexibility to carry around electronic devices often require continuous power supply, the experimental results and theoretical analysis show that happens, micro-thin solar cell in the case of extreme bending power more durable. Whether in the continued supply of electricity or the cost of production, we have a great advantage.

Research produced a solar cell material is a micro semiconductor gallium arsenide, reuse mainly by a transfer of the transfer-printing technology, the battery electrode substrate through the bottom of the photons reflected back photovoltaic cells to achieve.

This ultra-thin solar cells are very thin and flexible, it can be wrapped pencil week. Many wearable device limited battery size and weight can not be applied to promote, but this battery feature high flexibility and light weight, will help promote the production of wearable electronic devices, such as powered smart glasses can also be incorporated into clothing wearable device for power supply.

In addition, the future potential of the material, solar cell applications is expected to create many new fields. Like the weight of the more sensitive areas of spacecraft or upper-air sounding balloons, ultra-thin solar cell applications has important scientific value. Glass, fabric, paper, plastic and other materials can be used as a battery carrier and greater value.

In fact, by the end of February this year, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had developed the so-called “world’s thinnest and lightest” solar cells. Which solar cell thickness of 2 m, is twice the product development team in Korea. Researchers call it thin enough to be placed in a soap bubble without it cracking. In the wearable device, since the solar cell is very light, it was dressed users can not even see it there. However, MIT at the time of this solar cell conversion efficiency is not very high, and the study of South Korean scientists will further optimize the conversion efficiency of this issue.

However, MIT and South Korean scientists have developed a new ultra-thin solar cells are still in the proof of concept stage, put into real commercial needs time.

Why Intel is not split into two companies

According fool.com website reported today, April, well-known US stock market commentator Jim – Kramer (Jim Cramer) published such remarks views: Intel should be split in upcoming rapid growth of the business, such as data center business group, was networking and storage devices split into a company; the relatively slow growth of the PC business spin-off to another company.

However, this view is no practical significance, for the following reasons: Kramer said such a manner that there is a fundamental problem of the spin-off, the so-called “high-growth” businesses rely on the PC being developed by technology.

In most cases, the spin-off by Kramer, Intel is a $ 30 billion and nearly 300 million units of PC based technology market development, will be used as the cornerstone of its server chip business. Most of Intel’s chip business networking group is sold for the PC market, the development of products, of course, things are also selling some business group level server chips.

If Intel to split into two companies, R & D expenditure will be doubled, and that the shareholders of the so-called “rapid growth” Intel and the “slow growth” contrary to the values ​​held by some Intel.

Generally speaking, Intel chips independent production is a competitive advantage. However, to produce a continuous chip business make sense, then it needs to maximize the use of its production capacity.

However, Intel’s PC business is much smaller than its data center operations. In fact, in the present situation, Intel’s data center business group and the two things are difficult to sufficiently maintain the operation of a tip of the plant.

Thus, according to this situation, we can conclude that if Intel split into two companies, two company’s profits will be lower than this current.

According to “Financial Times” reported June 26, the chip maker Intel is considering the sale of its network security business. The report said, Intel has been working with its bankers on how to handle its network security services to discuss the sector is Intel spent $ 7.7 billion acquisition in 2011 McAfee.

One aspect of Intel spokesman was unable to comment immediately on the matter.

It is reported that Intel had said in April that it plans to lay off 12,000 people worldwide, which with its business focus moves to re-up on a microchip fabrication off.

After Beyond 10nm process may also improve the device performance

In the “2016 Symposia on VLSI Technology” (June 13 to 17 in Honolulu held), following “Plenary Session” (plenary session), on the Session T2 “Technology Highlighted Session”, also emerged a lot about 10nm process technology papers. 86 papers of this Symposium adopted, there 12 was chosen as the focus of the paper, including four on the Highlighted Session Session T2 publication.

These objects thesis dissertation is the use of Si, SiGe, InGaAs channel different materials FinFET technology, and STT-MRAM. At the meeting, discussions are heating up at the end of the meeting, many listeners will be surrounded by the publisher, the atmosphere is very warm.

In recent years, with the miniaturization of silicon integrated circuits exposed limitations, researchers focus on the development direction after the demise of Moore’s device technologies discussed. Despite this situation, but in this Highlighted Session, on 10nm process technology, the device is still a lot of papers, it showed higher performance-based fine still advancing, still going strong.

Realize four kinds of Vth

First, Samsung Electronics announced the 10nm process Si FinFET technology (lecture No. 2.1), its main feature is to achieve four kinds of Vth by improving the gate stack, improved fin formation, contacts and many other processes.

All parts have achieved miniaturization, compared with 14nm technology, speed increased by 27% at the same speed, power consumption reduced by 40%, and the SRAM cell size to 0.04μm2. Although Korea recently published a paper on the quantity is less than in the past, but this release is still showing strong integration of Samsung technology.

Next, IBM and GLOBALFOUNDRIES released using SiGe as a channel material 10nm node technology (lecture No. 2.2). A big difference between this technology and Samsung is using a SiGe channel pMOS, nMOS using conventional silicon.

On paper shows that by using the pMOS Ge concentration of 20% of SiGe, not only the mobility increased by 35%, effectively increase the current 17%, also significantly improved NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability, negative bias temperature instability). The paper noted that the key is to improve the properties by reducing the oxygen concentration to reduce defects. But also it provides four kinds of Vth, and Samsung’s 10nm platform in stark contrast.

InGaAs transistor find practical road

TSMC third stage, introduced the use of more advanced than SiGe of InGaAs FinFET (lecture No. 2.3). InGaAs channel is formed by epitaxial growth on 300mm silicon wafers. Realized on a silicon wafer with the grown lattice matched InP substrate device the same performance, reaching the largest existing InGaAs transistor on-state current, which is a major technological progress. To put into practice the InGaAs, the key is to grow, process, and all other sectors should be using a silicon platform, the paper pointed out the ways to achieve this goal.

Finally, the US TDK Headway Technologies released a paper (Paper No. 2.4) on the improvement of STT-MRAM writing speed. Without reducing data storage characteristics of the premise, to reduce by the write pulse width to 750ps, the successful use of 8MB array implements 3ns pulse writing. By implementing sub-nanosecond high-speed writing, it opened the way to MRAM LLC cache road.

About the future 10nm process technology, in addition Highlighted Session described above, but in Session T9 “Technology Scaling Beyond 10nm” is also published a number of related papers, including papers focus. For example, TSMC announced the area 0.03μm2, Samsung’s smaller fine than SRAM cell described previously (Paper No. 9.1). IBM released Ge concentration up to 60% of the SiGe-FinFET technology, proved this technology enables effective gate insulating film thickness of 0.7nm, the fin width of 4nm finer (Paper No. 9.3).

In the case of people already realize miniaturization will soon reach the limit, indicating that can improve the performance by fine papers was endless, indicating that after beyond 10nm process, at least for some time, the device performance may also continue to increase. I sincerely look forward to after the technology beyond 10nm, continue to move toward 7nm node.

Tesla to acquire Solarcity total trade combined $ 2.8 billion

Board US electric car manufacturer Tesla company just to Solarcity co-founder and CEO Leif Lyndon (Lyndon Rive) submitted an offer to acquire the latter. In other words, the elon Musk, CEO of Tesla as the company intends to acquire its own chairman solar company SolarCity. In fact, SolarCity is Musk’s household photovoltaic power generation project company.

In a letter to Leif offer letter, Tesla Board proposed acquisition SolarCity all outstanding common shares as trading returns, SolarCity will receive Tesla’s common stock, that is, the price is equivalent to a share deal US $ 26.5 to 28.5 US dollars.

Tesla shares in accordance with the previously announced proposed transaction, the total stock trading this stock exchange price of approximately $ 2.8 billion.

Tesla acquired SolarCity’s initiative will help Musk early as possible “to use fully sustainable fuel to accelerate the transformation of the world transportation industry” targets.

Musk in a conference call said, “This is our many years of heated debate and has been considering the matter from the perspective of product integration and provide regular users and business users experience the most convincing point of view, we really need to achieve tighter product integration. “he also said,” the timing is very appropriate, because Tesla is best to take measures to solve the problem of storage battery, and will be able to provide some Solarcity just exciting products. ”

If the deal goes well, then all of the Tesla brand products will fall. Musk said the biggest difference is, sales and enforcement costs will decline as Solarcity and Tesla products will be integrated.

Musk said, “decided to merge the two companies into one, is independent of the shareholders other than the result of my vote as long as the majority of shareholders except me favor, then this decision must push ahead. it’s that simple, we may propose the idea, but the final decision should also be decided by the shareholders. I personally think that this is very easy to understand. over time, more and more people will understand the truth. ”

The following is the contents of Tesla’s quotations.

Dear Linton:

You can submit to Tesla and SolarCity Board of Directors to acquire ordinary shares in exchange for all of your company’s outstanding common shares of the proposal, we feel happy. According to the results of due diligence matters, we propose to follow 0.122 times 0.131 times the price of ordinary shares of Tesla common stock in exchange for SolarCity. That is to say, the equivalent price per share of $ 26.5 to 28.5 US dollars acquisition of SolarCity all shares outstanding, the price 21-30% higher than today’s closing price of SolarCity. We believe that our proposals offer fair and reasonable, but also to allow SolarCity and its shareholders to accept the value, but also allow the shareholders the opportunity to participate SolarCity related issues after the integration of the company, as they will hold the transaction by Tesla equity.

Tesla Board potential integration prospects SolarCity and Tesla are very excited. We believe that the possibility of co-products, services and other aspects of the operation will further increase, and this merger will be beneficial to our company to create its own core competitiveness, and be able to walk in the forefront of the market, continue to develop innovative solutions, and launch a sustainable transportation energy.
