3D TSV Technology
• Samsung Electronics, Ltd. announced
that it has started mass producing the
industry’s first 64 gigabyte (GB), double
data rate-4 (DDR4), registered dual
Inline memory modules (RDIMMs) that
use three dimensional (3D) “through
silicon via” (TSV) package technology.
The new high-density, high-performance
module will play a key role
in supporting the continued
proliferation of enterprise servers and
cloud-based applications, as well as
further diversification of data center
solutions.
• The new RDIMMs include 36 DDR4
DRAM chips, each of which consists of
four 4-gigabit (Gb) DDR4 DRAM dies.
The low-power chips are manufactured
using Samsung’s most advanced 20-
nanometer (nm) class* process
technology and 3D TSV package
technology.
• “Samsung is reinforcing its competitive
edge in the DRAM market with its new
state-of-the-art solution using its 3D
TSV technology, while driving growth in
the global DRAM market,” said Jeeho
Baek, vice president, memory
marketing, Samsung Electronics. “By
introducing highly energy-efficient
DDR4 modules assembled with 3D TSV,
we’re taking a big step ahead of the
mainstream DDR4 market, which
should dramatically expand with the
expected introduction of next-

5. } BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION REPORT
} 5
generation CPUs in the second half of
this year.”
• Samsung’s volume production of 3D
TSV modules marks a new milestone in
the history of memory technology,
following the company’s initial
production of 3D Vertical NAND (V-NAND)
flash memory last year. While
3D V-NAND technology embraces high-rise
vertical structures of cell arrays
inside a monolithic die, 3D TSV is an
innovative packaging technology that
vertically interconnects stacked dies.
With its introduction of the new TSV
modules, Samsung has further
strengthened its technological
leadership in the “3D memory” era.
Foxconn
Cloud Computing Based Security Monitor
• Foxconn Electronics has adopted a
cloud computing-based security
monitoring system equipped with in-house-
developed hardware and
software at its headquarters in
northern Taiwan to monitor labor
safety and environmental conditions at
its main factories in Taiwan and China,
according to industry sources.
• The system is designed and developed
by Foxconn's cloud computing product
business unit with help from other
business units.
• Surveillance cameras are supplied by
Foxconn's subsidiary Ingrasys, which
has recently started turning its business
focus to providing complete solutions to
clients.

ICT Market
Wireless Connected Devices and IoT
• The number of active wireless
connected devices will exceed 40.9
billion by 2020 – more than double the
current total, according to ABI
Research. The explosion in connected
devices will be driven by the internet of
things (IoT).
• ABI’s estimate of 40 billion devices is
significantly more than the figure
suggested byGartner in 2013, when it
forecast that the IoT will see 26 billion
units installed by 2020.
• ABI also predicted that the installed
base of active wireless connected
devices will exceed 16 billion this year –
20% more than in 2013.
US Smart Home Market
• The growth of the Americas smart
homes market in the coming years is
expected to be remarkable, with the
revenue growth estimated to reach
$22.4 billion by 2020, at an estimated
CAGR of 17.62% from 2013 to 2020.
Smart Cities Market
• The global market for smart cities was
valued at USD 506.78 billion in 2012
and is projected to grow at a CAGR of
14.0% during the forecast period from
2013 to 2019.

On Cel Touch Panel Shipments
• On-cell touch panel shipments from
} 6
makers in Greater China are expected
to grow 91.4% in the second half of
2014 compared to the first half of the
year as makers greatly improve
production yields, leading to pricing
and technological advancements. Of
the percentage, about 80% will be
from Taiwan makers, according to
Digitimes Research.
Large Size panel shipments
• TrendForce has reported that global
shipments of large-size panels dropped
five per cent on month to 68.21 million
in July. LCD TVpanel shipments
reached 20.86 million, down 0.4 per
cent on month, while monitor panel
shipments reached 12.72 million, a 5.6
per cent decrease, as LCD TV panel
applications strained production
capacity.
• Notebook panel shipments, fell 5.8 per
cent to 15.32 million due to increased
demand for smartphones,
while tabletpanel shipments dropped
8.4 per cent to 19.27 million as Apple
adjusted reserves in anticipation of the
release of a new iPad in 2H14,
according to WitsView, a subsidiary of
market intelligence firm TrendForce.
AMOLED Market
• OLED displays are already mass
produced for mobile phones and OLED
will continue gaining market share
against LCD technology. The next
evolution is plastic displays and flexible
displays. IDTechEx expects the first
flagship phone with a flexible display to
ship in 2017. Based on this scenario,
the market for plastic and flexible
AMOLED displays will rise to $16bn by
2020.
Semiconductor Industry
Intel
Posibility of acquisition of Mediatek
• Chipmaker Intel Corporation (INTC)
should consider acquiring Taiwanese
wireless chipmaker MediaTek within the
next three years for $27 billion, insists
RBC Capital Markets analyst Doug
Freedman. Per Freedman, ARM (ARMH)
chipmaker MediaTek could enable Intel
to ramp up its mobile chip business.
• Freedman reckons that the deal would
create more shareholder value for Intel
by increasing its share of the mobile
system-on-a-chip (SoC) market by up
to 16%. Intel currently holds a 4%
market share in the mobile chips
market. It will also be immediately
accretive to Intel’s earnings per share
and would help curtail the investment
losses that the chipmaker has been
incurring to grow its mobile and
wireless business.
• Intel is investing more than $1 billion
per quarter to grow its ambitious
mobile and communications business.
But it has been suffering heavy losses
in the process. That’s because its chips
are based on x86 architecture that is
less energy efficient than ARM designs.

CSR
Takeover bid from Microchip
• CSR, the British chip design firm
previously known as Cambridge Silicon
Radio, has turned down a takeover bid
from U.S. semiconductor outfit
Microchip Technology.
• CSR was a pioneer in the Bluetooth
space and a notable player in mobile
connectivity, but the downward
trajectories of big customers like Nokia
and RIM forced it to sell off its mobile
business to Samsung a couple years
ago. These days it’s concentrating on
Bluetooth Smart, the low-energy
standard for connecting wearables, cars
and other internet-of-things devices, as
well as modules for location tracking,
audio and image processing, and Wi-Fi.

• Worldwide, the shipment for NFC-enabled
cellular handsets stood at
264.5 million units in 2013. The mobile
phone and tablet manufacturers are
increasingly including NFC features in
their phones and this is expected to
