As we look ahead to 2025, we’re seeing three major trends: a growing compound semiconductor market, the resurgence of wet bench technology and growing workforce development needs.
Semiconductors
2025: A Paradigm Shift in Wire Interconnection
The drive towards high density (HD), ultra-high density (UHD) and alternative substrates, including glass, will be transformative for North American wire interconnection manufacturing in 2025.
2025: The Future of Flex Is Here
A rapidly accelerating trend is the proliferation of complex assembly directly onto flexible substrates.
2025: Power Efficiency and Computational Flexibility in AI/ML Processors
Compression, especially after quantization, can help reduce the bandwidth and large storage required by model weights, thereby reducing power consumption.
