South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co, Swiss industrial robot maker ABB and Swedish refrigerator maker Electrolux see easing in semiconductor chip shortages

According to Korean media reports, Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to start mass production of FC-BGAs for servers in South Korea in the third quarter.

Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML released its earnings report on Wednesday (20th), with a sharp increase in second-quarter net profit due to record new orders, but ASML adjusted its annual revenue growth forecast from 20% to 10%.

SK Hynix, the world's second largest memory chip manufacturer, is also worried about the uncertainty of the global economic outlook. They have decided to postpone the expansion plan of the Cheongju factory.

According to semiconductor industry sources, the industry market is weak, and Intel, Marvell and Qualcomm are preparing to raise prices to respond to market conditions.

IQE has filed a lawsuit in federal court in California against Tower Semiconductor over trade secrets related to its porous silicon technology.

In recent months, after the consumer side "cut orders", more and more companies have chosen to cut prices to clear their inventory to correct the previous practice of overstocking. However, when everyone thought that demand was weak and chip prices were about to return to normal, it was reported in the industry that the US chip giant Intel has notified customers that it will increase the price of semiconductor products in the second half of the year...

On Saturday, July 17th, local time in the United States, chip giant Intel sent a signal that it hoped that people would not have high expectations for its Arc GPU.

As the global chip shortage enters the second stage: demand declines, inventory rises, and production capacity declines, the market trend of panel chips also shows a trend of plummeting prices. Upstream manufacturers are generally under pressure to destock, which further exacerbates this trend.

With the rapid development of new energy electric companies, major car companies and semiconductor manufacturers around the world have set their sights on the third-generation semiconductor field represented by silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN).
