EU Pledges €500M to Attract Researchers

1 week ago | eetimes.eu | Anne-Francoise Pele |Anne-Françoise Pelé

In the first hundred days of his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump has undermined decades of federal support for scientific research, leaving many researchers in limbo. French President Emmanuel Macron and EC President Ursula von der Leyen held a conference today (May 5) to reaffirm their fight for academic freedom and, more pragmatically, to attract researchers to the European continent.
Up to 1,000 Voluntary Departures in France

Concerns have been growing ever since STMicroelectronics announced its restructuring plan on April 10. The final blow has now fallen, and STMicroelectronics France could account for more than a third of the 2,800 jobs to be cut globally through voluntary departures. “The entire project will be implemented voluntarily, with options for internal and external mobility between now and the end of 2027,” said STMicroelectronics’ management team in a statement issued today (April 30).
NXP Updates on Aviva Links, Kinara, TTTech Auto Acquisitions

2 weeks ago | eetimes.eu | Anne-Francoise Pele |Anne-Françoise Pelé

On announcing its lackluster results for the first quarter of 2025, NXP Semiconductors provided a quick update on the progress of its recent acquisitions: Aviva Links, Kinara, and TTTech Auto. On Feb. 10, NXP announced its intention to acquire Santa Clara, California–based edge AI chip startup Kinara for $307 million in cash.
FuYi PowerTech’s SiC MOSFET Innovation Journey

2 weeks ago | eetimes.eu | Barbara Della Porta

As global industries pivot toward cleaner, smarter, and more efficient energy systems, power semiconductors are increasingly recognized as a critical enabler of this transformation. Right among them, silicon carbide (SiC) has emerged as a game-changing material, outperforming traditional silicon in high-voltage, high-temperature, and high-efficiency applications. FuYi PowerTech, a rising force in power electronics innovation, has rapidly positioned itself as a key player in the SiC MOSFET space.
Strengthening Europe's Semiconductor Strategy

2 weeks ago | eetimes.eu | Anne-Francoise Pele |Anne-Françoise Pelé

The first three months of President Donald Trump’s second term have had major repercussions on Europe’s technological sector. In his keynote at the recent SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium Europe (ISS Europe) in Sopot, Poland, Hendrik Bourgeois, vice president of European Government Affairs at Intel, called on Europe to face the new geopolitical reality with strategic clarity and industrial focus.
Rust: The Pace Quickens

3 weeks ago | eetimes.eu | Robert Huntley

I’ve covered Rust several times on EE Times Europe and am an avid supporter of this emerging programming language. However, I’m well aware that for Rust to gain critical mass as a viable alternative to C/C++ for embedded systems, it has a huge mountain to climb. The entrenched C/C++ ecosystem dominates the embedded systems market, encompassing toolchains, board support packages, libraries, and drivers, not to mention the four decades of applications in the installed base.
Debugging Complex Multicore Microcontroller Applications

3 weeks ago | eetimes.eu | Robert Huntley

Debugging an application is an intrinsic part of any embedded system. For most straightforward developments, an integrated development environment (IDE) provides the prerequisite workflow functions of code editor, compiler, debugger, and profiler. However, as embedded systems become more complex, often involving multicore SoCs, real-time operating systems, and a mix of heterogeneous and homogeneous architectures, the need for platform-wide, time-synchronized debugging becomes crucial.
How to Integrate Machine Vision Sensors for Reliable Defect Detection

3 weeks ago | eetimes.eu | Emily Newton

Quality control is a crucial but often inefficient part of the manufacturing workflow. Machine vision can help by automating some or all of these defect inspections, but it can’t deliver its most significant improvements alone. You must understand and refine the machine vision inspection process for this technology to produce meaningful results. Like AI technologies, machine vision is impressive, but it is just a tool. How well it works depends on how well its end users can apply it.
TTTech Auto’s CEO Explains Rationale for NXP’s Acquisition

4 weeks ago | eetimes.eu | Anne-Francoise Pele |Anne-Françoise Pelé

Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are transforming the automotive industry, creating opportunities for OEMs, Tier 1s, and other suppliers, and influencing how vehicles are produced and how value is delivered to the customer. To better manage the growing complexity of SDVs and keep vehicle systems safe, secure, and compliant, NXP Semiconductors and TTTech Auto will merge their respective hardware and software capabilities.
The Recovery Base Is Fragile, Future Horizons’ Penn Says

1 month ago | eetimes.eu | Anne-Francoise Pele |Anne-Françoise Pelé

The global chip market will grow by 12%, plus or minus 10%, in 2015, Malcolm Penn, founder and CEO of Future Horizons, forecasted in his keynote speech at the recent ISS Europe conference in Sopot, Poland. However, he warned us not to be blinded by this double-digit percentage and to read between the lines, as “the recovery base is fragile”. Despite posting nearly 20% growth in 2024, the semiconductor industry saw little cause for celebration.
