The two most popular articles in November covered a wide range of topics, from a record efficiency for a silicon solar cell panel to Kontron’s Raspberry Pi4 programmable logic controller.

With the IEDM conference coming up next week, leading edge CMOS technology is also a key topic. TSMC has been showing its routes to 2nm nanosheet transistors and beyond to under 1nm which has been regarded as one of those ‘fundamental limits’ that the industry delights in surpassing..

The chip shortage continues in certain areas, particularly in automotive, as Marc Biron of Melexis discussed in his electronica interview with eeNews Europe. The return of the show to Munich saw visitors and companies coming together for the first time in four years.

However, several forecasters are in denial about the direction of the semiconductor market, says Malcolm Penn at market analyst Future Horizons in the UK.

While forecasters have been cutting their predictions for 2022 and 2023, he has accurately predicted the ups and downs of the semiconductor market by looking at the macroeconomic factors and the cycles of fab investment such as the plans for a new Infineon fab in Dresden, tapping decades of experience. EeNews also identified the seven leading chip companies working with Intel on its new foundry model.

The UK market was also reeling from the government’s decision to force Nexperia to sell a majority stake in the Newport Wafer Fab. The company said it plans to appeal, so the coming weeks will see more moves in the story as two consortia line up for the potential purchase.
