Those actions include shutting down the company’s silicon wafer fabrication facility in Tempe, affecting some 500 workers. The closure is expected to occur between July and September 2025, which ...

Transforming a silicon wafer into a functional microchip is a complex process known as wafer fabrication. It involves a series of precise steps, often performed in highly controlled cleanroom ...

Microchip is to invest $880m in silicon carbide and silicon device manufacture at its Colorado Springs fab. “One significant phase of the expansion is for increased SiC manufacturing for use in ...

Amorphous silicon carbide, on the other hand, can be produced at wafer scales, offering large sheets of this incredibly robust material. “With amorphous silicon carbide’s emergence, we’re poised at ...

Created by students from BYU's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, all 291,652 words were etched onto a 4-inch diameter wafer. A layer of gold was then evaporated onto the wafer.

Wafer production in Arizona would shift to factories in two other states, CEO says expand Microchip says it intends to close down it Arizona silicon wafter production facility in 2025.

Microchip Technology, which has faced headwinds in the market for its computer chips this year, plans to close down its Valley factory in 2025 to reduce costs, affecting hundreds of workers.
