KYOCERA AVX has reached a final agreement with ROHM Semiconductor, which will transfer all of its tantalum and polymer capacitor manufacturing lines and relevant intellectual property to KYOCERA AVX effective August 5, 2022. 

IDTechEx identifies and explains the micro-trends for each material specialty that are worth keeping an eye on going into 2022: polymer, ceramic, composite and metal additive.

RJR Polymers, a leading developer of high performance liquid crystal polymer (LCP) Air Cavity semiconductor packaging (ACP), announced that it has changed its name to RJR Technologies Inc. The new name reflects the company’s growing role as a leading developer and high volume manufacturer of high performance LCP Air Cavity plastic packaging for RF and microwave applications. The company will begin operating under its new name and form a new website, www.rjrtechnologies.com, immediately.

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. announced that the company has enhanced its T55 series of vPolyTan™ surface-mount polymer tantalum molded chip capacitors with eight new ratings in the A, B, and T (low-profile B – 1.2 mm max.) case sizes.

Indium Corp.’s Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, Dr. Yan Liu, research chemist, Joanna Keck, research technician and Erin Page, research technician, were awarded Honorable Mention for their paper "Voiding and Drop Test Performance of Lead-Free Low-Melting and Medium-Melting Mixed Alloy BGA Assembly" at the opening ceremony of the IPC APEX Expo on March 25. 

Researchers from A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME) have developed the first compact high performance silicon-based cavity-backed slot (CBS) antenna that operates at 135 GHz. The antenna demonstrated 30 times stronger signal transmission over on-chip antennas at 135 GHz. At just 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm, approximately the size of a sesame seed, it is the smallest silicon-based CBS antenna reported to date for ready integration with active circuits.
