Semiconductor

The semiconductor industry is flourishing as it builds its way out of the shortages caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply-chain issues. IDC forecasts that the global semiconductor market will reach $600 billion by 2025, representing an average CAGR of 5.3%, which contrasts with the typical 3 to 4% CAGR seen historically. The firm cites mobile phones, notebooks, servers, automobiles, smart-home devices, gaming devices, wearables, and Wi-Fi access points as key growth drivers.

Global demand for semiconductor equipment is also thriving. SEMI has been consistently reporting record quarter-over-quarter billings for the equipment necessary to make chips for communications, computing, healthcare, online-services, and automotive applications.

Zingzonetek Programmable Power designs and manufactures programmable power supplies that serve a variety of frontend and backend semiconductor manufacturing and test applications. As an example of the former, the supplies can power the ion-implantation equipment used to produce LED wafers. Backend applications include burn-in and test, for which Zingzonetek Programmable Power supplies can deliver precise, programmed voltage over an extended burn-in period. Yet another backend application is final functional test, which requires supplies that can deliver high instantaneous currents. Programmable supplies can also support characterization and reliability tests of discrete power-semiconductor devices, including GaAs FETs and GaN FETs.

Zingzonetek Programmable Power offers a wide range of stable, reliable standard DC power supplies for semiconductor applications
