The Central government will soon launch an information technology server and IT hardware production linked incentive (PLI) scheme, and also offer additional incentives for manufacturers that incorporate Indian-designed intellectual property into their products, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Tuesday.

South Korea plans to introduce bigger tax breaks for chip manufacturers in the country, a month after a law allowing for new incentives was passed. The country has been caught between the US and China in an escalating fight over critical semiconductors, which are used in a wide range of electronic devices from smartphones to missiles.

The pacts were signed at the Vedanta-Avanstrate Business Partners Summit 2022 held last week at Tokyo, Japan.

Apple supplier Foxconn on Tuesday said that it had hired Chiang Shang-yi, who previously worked at Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC and Chinese chipmaker SMIC, as its semiconductor strategy officer. Foxconn has been expanding into semiconductors to diversify its business in recent years.

US Senators are reportedly lobbying to block the US government from making deals with Chinese semiconductor manufacturers, via the inclusion of an amendment which blocks federal access to chips and services from China into the final version of this year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The move comes a month after the US published a swe...

Micron will reduce memory chip supply and make additional cuts to its capex plan, the company said on Wednesday. The semiconductor manufacturer is currently struggling to sell excess inventory. Micron said it is reducing the initial process in semiconductor production for DRAM and NAND by about 20 percent compared with the fourth quarter that ended...

Taiwan's government has proposed larger tax breaks for chipmakers' research and development into semiconductor technology, as the island nation looks to retain its competitive edge. Governments around the world have been touting incentives to bring chip production onshore, in the wake of a global chip shortage.

Micron on Wednesday began mass production of its new high-capacity low-power 1-beta dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips at its new plant in Japan. Located at Hiroshima, the facility will product Micron's latest memory chip that can store a third more data than older chips, as the company tries to revive and modernise its once-mighty chip indu...

Apple is reportedly working to begin sourcing chips for its devices from a US plant, likely referring to an Arizona factory that will be run by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker and a major supplier to the firm. TSMC last year announced plans to begin production of chips at its upcoming US plant in 2...

Berkshire Hathaway, billionaire Warren Buffet's conglomerate, has bought more than $4.1 billion (roughly Rs. 33,212 crore) of stock in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), the firm announced on Tuesday. The conglomerate now owns about 60.1 million American depositary shares of TSMC, but the filing did not specify whether Buffett or his portfo...

Berkshire Hathaway said it bought more than $4.1 billion of stock in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.

Vedanta Resources Chairman Anil Agarwal on Saturday said production at its semiconductor and display manufacturing unit in Gujarat will start within two and a half years of the groundbreaking ceremony.

South Korean computer chipmaker SK Hynix said Wednesday it might be forced to sell its manufacturing operations in China if a US crackdown on exports of semiconductor technology and manufacturing equipment to China intensifies. The concerns were raised during a conference call on Wednesday after the company reported its operating profit dropped 60 ...

The US recently announced that it had expanded controls on the transfer of US semiconductor technology to China, bringing restrictions similar to sanctions on the chip industry. Here's how these restrictions could affect not just China, but American tech firms such as Apple, that will be forced to buy chips at market prices, instead of sourcing the...

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has suspended production of advanced silicon for Chinese startup Biren Technology to ensure compliance with US regulations, according to a person familiar with the matter.
