Zhuhai Aerospace Microchips Science & Technology Co. (Aero-Chips), formerly known as Zhuhai Orbita Aerospace Science & Technology Co., is deploying its AI chips into space. Founded in 2000, and became listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) ChiNext ten years later, the company launched and operated China's first commercial remote-sensing micro-satellites since 2017.

In the fiercely competitive realm of the global lithography market dominated by ASML, Nikon is making strategic inroads. The renowned Japanese company is now supplying lithography...

Since Western countries imposed sanctions against Russia, Russia-based Baikal Electronics is looking to switch to RISC-V and may turn to a certain China-based pure-play foundry for chip production.

With the advent of the AI era, the design and manufacturing complexity of various SoCs are continually rising.

"An opening bombardment destroys most of Taiwan's navy and air force in the first hours of hostilities. Augmented by a powerful rocket force, the Chinese navy encircles Taiwan and interdicts any attempts to get ships and aircraft to the besieged island. Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers cross the strait in a mix of military amphibious craft and civilian roll-on, roll-off ships, while air assault and airborne troops land behind the beachheads."

Tron Future Tech

Taiwan's recent efforts to build its own "Starlink" have received growing attention as satellite communication has proven itself inalienable to wartime resilience, but to what degree are the ongoing government-backed satellite programs geared for modern warfare?

Tron Future Tech , a Taiwanese startup founded in 2018, has emerged to be a prominent leader in Taiwan's low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) markets.

Zinite is seeking to shake up the semiconductor industry through innovations in transistor architecture to achieve more chip performance density. Founded by Gem Shoute, Douglas Barlage, and Kenneth Cadien, and seeking to meet the demands of HPC, AI, and AGI by accelerating 3D chip adoption, Zinite's core technology is a thin-film transistor (TFT) with CMOS-level drive current and a large temperature process window, including channel material processing stability at 400C.
