Next-gen Semiconductors

A new generation of building blocks for emerging tech

Overview

Companies operating in the next-generation semiconductors industry develop and produce advanced semiconductor materials and technologies that could either replace or improve the current generation of semiconductors, which presents limitations in terms of performance, speed, power efficiency, and functionality. This paves the way for faster and more powerful electronics with lower energy consumption.

These innovative next-gen semiconductors can be used to advance emerging technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), 5G and other wireless communication networks, advanced automotive technologies, quantum computing, and edge computing.

Industry scope 

This industry focuses on companies that develop the following:
  1. Low-power, high-performance semiconductors for sensors, wearables, and other connected devices.
  2. Semiconductors that can support high-bandwidth and low-latency requirements of 5G networks and other wireless communication technologies.
  3. Semiconductors to improve the performance of data center infrastructure.
  4. Semiconductors for advanced automotive applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving as well as in-car entertainment and communication systems.
  5. Semiconductors to improve the performance of other emerging tech applications, including quantum and edge computing.
However, we exclude the following areas when selecting companies for this industry:
  1. Companies that develop semiconductors for traditional applications (computer, mobile, industry automation, etc.), as they largely rely on the current generation of semiconductors.
  2. Companies that develop semiconductors for emerging tech applications, but have not introduced innovations or tech improvements to enhance the performance of the current generation of semiconductors (e.g., companies still using aluminum interconnects and planar transistors). With the adoption of new technologies, this tech is likely to become outdated. 
  3. Pureplay semiconductor companies that develop products only for AI and ML applications. (covered under the Machine Learning Infrastructure hub)
Currently, we do not actively cover this industry, but we have identified it as a potential industry to add to our coverage. For the list of industries in our coverage, please visit https://sp-edge.com/industries
