As AI continues to accelerate demand for high-speed optical connectivity, technologies such as silicon photonics, CPO, LPO, NPO and OCS are moving rapidly toward commercial deployment. The next challenge is turning these technologies into scalable, high-yield production.
Toward Technologies, Inc. concluded its participation in SEMICON Taiwan 2026, held from September 2 to 4 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1. Under the theme "RELAY, REDEFINED.," the company showcased a broader switching technology portfolio at booth K3168 and demonstrated its transition from a traditional relay supplier to an advanced switching solution partner.
According to survey data from the Taiwan Society of Sleep Medicine, approximately one in every five people in Taiwan experiences insomnia. Many individuals live under prolonged psychological stress, resulting in an imbalance among stress, sleep, and lifestyle...
As graduation season arrives, Taiwan's semiconductor industry once again enters its annual competition for talent. Driven by declining birth rates and surging demand for computing power fueled by the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, semiconductor companies have continued to expand their hiring efforts year after year...
Discussion around advances in AI will often focus on model performance, chip launches, and compute scale. In practice, however, progress increasingly depends on something more fundamental: the ability to build faster, more reliable infrastructure for moving, processing, and managing data.
As AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and advanced packaging continue to move toward higher levels of power integration, chip power consumption is rising rapidly. Thermal management has therefore become a critical factor affecting performance, reliability, and system design...
Taiwan is home to the world's most advanced semiconductor ecosystem. The island produces over 60% of global contract chip manufacturing and dominates key segments from IC design to advanced packaging. For international engineers, joining this ecosystem represents an opportunity to work at the frontier of chip technology - but succeeding here requires more than technical brilliance...
This year's SEMICON Taiwan will be packed with discussions about artificial intelligence and the on-wafer challenges it's creating, where the advanced node and emerging technology worlds collide. And at the center of it all is the need for better process control at a reduced cost-of-ownership (CoO).
As AI infrastructure drives demand for higher bandwidth, lower power consumption and faster connectivity, silicon photonics is becoming increasingly important to the future of computing. However, moving technologies such as silicon photonics and co-packaged optics (CPO) from development to commercial deployment presents a critical challenge: how to achieve reliable, high-volume production.
