Japan's Resonac develops wafers that quadruple chip yield
Original: Japan's Resonac develops large wafers that can yield 4 times as many chips
Japanese materials maker Resonac has developed larger semiconductor wafers that can produce four times as many chips as conventional ones. Announced via Nikkei Asia, the advance could cut manufacturing costs and ease supply constraints if it moves into mass production. The company is a major supplier of chip-making materials, and the development is being watched as a potential boost to Japan's role in the global semiconductor supply chain.
Why now: Chip yields and capacity are a pressing industry concern amid global semiconductor demand and supply-chain competition.
