Glossary
- Power Semiconductor
- Power semiconductors are semiconductor devices used to control high voltage and large current, widely employed in power conversion and power control, essential for applications such as electric vehicles and renewable energy.
- Legacy Node
- Legacy nodes refer to older-generation technologies in semiconductor manufacturing with wider manufacturing process ranges (e.g., 90nm and above) than the latest technologies. They offer better cost efficiency compared to cutting-edge applications and are widely used in many existing products.
- Analog Semiconductor
- Analog semiconductors are a collective term for semiconductor devices that electronically measure analog signals (such as audio signals, temperature, and light intensity) and convert them into digital signals.
- MEMS
- MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) refer to miniature mechanical components and electronic circuits manufactured using semiconductor manufacturing microfabrication techniques. They are applied in electronic devices such as sensors and actuators.
- IoT
- IoT (Internet of Things) refers to miniature mechanical components and electronic circuits manufactured using semiconductor manufacturing microfabrication techniques. They are applied in electronic devices such as sensors and actuators.
- XR
- XR (Extended Reality) is a collective term for technologies that provide experiences by merging real and virtual environments, including AR, VR, and MR.
