DIGITIMES employees
US-based II-VI is predicted to produce VCSEL chips, which might be utilized in ToF LiDAR scanners for the next-generation iPhones set to be launched subsequent 12 months, to Apple. Meanwhile, Taiwan server makers’ shipments are anticipated to be brisk in 2021 because of sturdy demand and new CPU platforms from Intel and AMD. Insufficient wafer foundry help has additionally benefited second-tier IC design homes and can increase their profitability within the fourth quarter of 2020.
II-VI to enter provide chain for iPhones with LiDAR sensors, sources say: US-based II-VI is predicted to enter the availability chain for Apple’s next-generation iPhones by fabricating VCSEL chips for time-of-flight (ToF) LiDAR scanners, in line with business sources.
Taiwan server makers upbeat about cargo prospects for 2021: Taiwan’s server makers are usually upbeat about their cargo prospects for 2021 thanks primarily to sturdy demand for datacenter purposes and server alternative increase to be pushed by the launch of latest x86 server processors most likely in first-quarter subsequent 12 months, though the pandemic stays the biggest variable that will have an effect on their regular manufacturing and shipments, in line with business sources.
Second-tier IC design homes to get pleasure from revenue development in 4Q20: Tight foundry capability leading to inadequate chip provides and rising chip ASPs already buoyed Taiwan’s first-tier fabless chipmakers’ income within the third quarter. Such state of affairs has began favoring smaller-scale fabless corporations, notably show driver IC suppliers, in line with business sources.
