We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Semiconductor market",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Clock generator IP offers more than PLLs from
IPextreme, which we summarised at the time by saying "Patented digital clock synthesis technology developed by Motorola is now offered to the global semiconductor market through IPextreme".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Companies announce design partnership from
Oki Electric: "Wipro has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Oki Techno Centre Singapore (OTCS), including its intellectual property rights, in an all cash deal over a period of one year".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Kilopass Technology
- take a look at Partnership to cut the cost of SoC programming
which says: "Kilopass and Data I/O Corporation are working to provide standardised programming solutions that meet the requirements of cost-sensitive SoC applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Cascade Microtech, Power ICs now tested on the wafer,
as well as Structured ASICs supported in North America from eASIC Corp,
and Multilayer organic technology in showcase from Jacket Micro Devices.
