Sandisk says its NAND-based High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) technology can match HBM bandwidth while providing eight to 16 times the capacity at a similar cost, positioning flash memory closer to processors as inference workloads strain conventional memory systems.

A senior Lam Research executive told an industry audience this week that the next major leap in semiconductor manufacturing will not come from removing humans entirely from fabs, but from pairing collaborative robots with AI-driven predictive maintenance to close a long-standing gap in fab operations.

The European Union is pushing to strengthen domestic second-life battery production and recycling loops, but EV battery recycling still faces a contradiction: the technology is maturing, yet a sustainable business model has not emerged.

Exhibiting in the AI Technology Zone at Semicon Taiwan 2026, Zhen Ding Technology (ZDT) Group highlights two core product lines: 800G, 1.6T, XPO, and NPO high-end optical transceiver modules, and ultra-high-layer AI server boards with up to 34 layers. The showcase underscores the company’s advanced printed circuit board (PCB) engineering capabilities for next-generation AI computing infrastructure, spanning high-speed data transmission to multi-layer board designs.
