Key Terms

ion implantation, advanced packaging

2 terms

ion implantation technical

"a leading supplier of enabling ion implantation solutions for the semiconductor industry"

A manufacturing process that shoots tiny charged atoms into a solid material to change its electrical properties, most commonly used when making computer chips. Think of it like spraying microscopic seeds into a surface so parts of a circuit will conduct electricity differently; it directly affects product performance, production yield and cost. Investors watch it because advances or bottlenecks in this step can influence a maker’s competitiveness, output and profit margins.

advanced packaging technical

"including AI driven process control, advanced packaging methodologies, and sustainable"

Advanced packaging describes modern methods for arranging, connecting and enclosing semiconductor chips so they work together more efficiently in a smaller space—think of stacking and wiring tiny electronic building blocks instead of leaving them as separate items on a circuit board. It matters to investors because these techniques can boost product speed, reduce power use, shrink device size and lower manufacturing costs, all of which influence a maker’s competitiveness, profit margins and market share.
