Entegris Recognizes Two Industry Milestones Vital to the Technology Advancements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Industry events mark an unprecedented opportunity to enable next-gen chips with advanced materials science
“We are in the midst of a digital transformation fueled by the demand
for modern technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics,
autonomous vehicles, and IoT,” said Jim O’Neill, chief technology
officer,
IoT Day
First initiated by the
As devices proliferate, so does the demand for the high-performance and reliable semiconductor chips that power them. Additionally, according to a study by IDC, the volume of global data will increase 10x to 163 zettabytes (or one trillion gigabytes) by 2025. This data explosion will lead to more demand of integrated chips (ICs) as data storage, analysis, and process will play a central role in IoT infrastructure.
The Anniversary of Moore’s Law
In 1965,
As seen in recent months, 5G networks are beginning to ramp up and roll out, promising to transfer large amounts of data 100-200X faster than 4G LTE. For the true value of 5G to be realized, however, various components of the IoT infrastructure (processors, modems, and logic chips at leading edge nodes and devices) will need increased memory output and higher performance to sustain the next-gen applications of the future.
It is clear that advanced materials science is a foundational piece of innovation and a requirement to enabling high performing, reliable electronics that society is increasingly demanding. Without the ability to create, purify and safely transport specialty materials, innovation cycles will fall behind demand and priorities like reliability and speed will be compromised.
