Top stories IBM to pay GlobalFoundries $1.5B to take over chip fabsIBM and GLOBALFOUNDRIES today announced that GLOBALFOUNDRIES will acquire IBM's global commercial semiconductor technology business.Share:    Growing momentum in semiconductor manufacturing in VietnamThe 2nd annual SEMI Vietnam Semiconductor Strategy Summit, co-organized with the Saigon Hi-Tech Park and with FabMax as the premier sponsor, was held September 16-17, 2014 in Ho Chi Minh City. Share:    The mystery of reed relays: Understanding specificationsSpecifications of reed relays, which are used for current switching in ATE and other applications are explained, including carry current, lifetime, minimum switch capacity, hot switching, operating speed and thermoelectric switching.Share:    Semiconductor market in India is expected to reach US$ 52.58B by 2020India has a very large industry base of electronics items, but there is little manufacturing base for semiconductors. Share:
Tech News Intel and IBM to lay out 14nm FinFET strategies on competing substrates at IEDM 2014The development of increasingly sophisticated and energy-efficient CMOS technology for mobile, client and cloud computing depends on a continuing stream of advances in the process technologies with which the complex integrated circuits are built.Share:    Insights from the Leading Edge: What's new in permanent polymer dielectricsIt's been awhile since we looked at what is new on the dielectric market so we checked with a number of dielectric suppliers and asked what was new in their product lines.Share:    Don't hack my lightbulb, broThe age of the Internet of Things is upon us. It's about all anyone talked about over the last few weeks, as I visited the TSMC Open Innovation Platform (Sept 29th), ARM TechCon (October 1-2) and Semicon Europa (Oct 7-9).Share:    Albert Theuwissen of Harvest Imaging honored with European SEMI Award 2014Albert Theuwissen, CEO of Harvest Imaging and professor at Delft University of Technology, is the recipient of the European SEMI Award 2014.Share:
Business News Canadian semiconductor manufacturing industry revenue expected to decline 8% in 2014Industry manufacturers, which are typically small- to mid-sized enterprises, will find it difficult to match the research and development (R&D) spending of multinational competitors.Share:    IRLYNX and CEA-Leti to streamline new CMOS-based infrared sensing modulesIRLYNX and CEA-Leti announced they have launched a technology-development partnership for a new CMOS-based infrared technology that will allow a new type of smart and connected detectors in buildings and cities.Share:    Mentor Graphics wins $36M in patent infringement suitA Portland, Oregon jury delivered a verdict in favor of Mentor Graphics in a patent infringement trial against Synopsys, Inc., awarding Mentor Graphics $35 million in damages and royalties.Share:    China's wafer foundry market: 15% growth in 2014The wafer foundry market experienced a wavy development, jumping by 39.4 percent in 2010 following a 7.9 percent decline in 2009. Share:
