When will the winter of semiconductor industry end?

Order-cutting, unpaid vacations, layoffs… The semiconductor entered the downside cycle.

The inventories of semiconductor companies just eased a little, the wave of layoffs is swept over the industry. In this year, the market is just like bungee jumping.

Some worry about the inventories in hand, some have trouble changing jobs, and some are about to lose their jobs. As Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei, said, "to survive".

2D materials for future heterogeneous electronics

Graphene and two-dimensional materials (2DM) remain an active field of research in science and engineering over 15 years after the first reports of 2DM. The vast amount of available data and the high performance of device demonstrators leave little doubt about the potential of 2DM for applications in electronics, photonics and sensing. So where are the integrated chips and enabled products? We try to answer this by summarizing the main challenges and opportunities that have thus far prevented 2DM applications.
