“Obsolescence has always existed. However, it usually only becomes really critical for companies when the exception mutates into the norm. And in recent years we have unfortunately experienced this unwanted development not only with semiconductor chips, but increasingly with many other components, materials and raw materials,” says IIOM President and COGD Chairman Dr Wolfgang Heinbach.

<p>A client who was somewhat given to wishful thinking wanted to use power MOSFETs that were not characterized for radiation environment service in a radiation exposed power supply application. It was like asking if Play-Doh could be useful for making automobile tires.</p>
<p>In short, to harden or not to harden should never be a question regarding using semiconductors in a radiation environment.</p>

<p>There are many cases of ideas which were first dismissed and ridiculed, then eventually accepted. For example, when respected mathematician Christian Doppler first presented his analysis of frequency shift due to source/receiver relative motion in the early 1800s, he was more than just ridiculed—he was dismissed from his academic teaching position and was almost expelled from the prestigious Austrian Academy of Sciences (<strong>Reference 1</strong>).</p>

<p>Here comes a new ripple in the process node wars among the mega-fab rivals TSMC and Samsung Foundry. The industry reports about TSMC converting its 3-nm process R&D into a 1.4-nm process in June is likely to spark another round of process node duel between Taiwan’s leading pure-play fab and Samsung. However, it’s still not clear how this ambitious conversion to 1.4-nm process geometry will actually work.</p>
