The SiC market is expected to treble and GaN is expected to explode - if challenges are overcome
In 2014, the SiC chip business was worth more than $133M. As in previous years, power factor correction (PFC) and photovoltaics (PV) are still the leading applications.
SiC diodes represent more than 80% of the market. In 2020, diodes will remain the main contributor across various applications, including electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV), PV, PFC, wind, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and motor drives.
SiC transistors will grow in parallel with diodes, driven by PV inverters. Challenges must be overcome prior to the adoption of pure SiC solutions for EV power train inverters, which is nevertheless expected by 2020.
Including the growth in both diodes and transistors we expect the total SiC market to more than treble by 2020, reaching $436M...

Advanced Substrates Overview: From IC Package to Board - 2017 Report by Yole ...Yole Developpement
How can advanced substrates and boards bridge the gap created by front-end scaling?
Advanced substrates as a key enabler of future products and markets
In an uncertain, transformative semiconductor market, advanced packaging is one of the key technologies offering stability and a long-term solution. On one hand it can adapt to product diversification, offering more functionality, system integration, and performance, as well as potentially lower manufacturing cost; and on the other hand it can adhere to future scaling requirements. Advanced substrates are the key interconnect component of advanced packaging architectures and are critical in enabling future products and markets. For this reason, Yole has established this stand-alone dedicated advanced substrate activity, focused on exploring the market and technologies of PCBs, package substrates and RDLs. This first report will serve as an overview of advanced substrate technologies, markets, and supply chain, to be supported by subsequent in-depth reports.
Today’s advanced substrates in volume are Flip Chip (FC) substrates, 2.5D/3D TSV assemblies, and thin-film RDLs (Fan-Out WLP, or “FOWLP”) below an L/S resolution of 15/15 um and with transition below L/S < 10/10 um. These advanced substrates are traditionally linked to higher-end logic (CPUs/GPUs, DSPs, etc.) driven by ICs in the latest technology nodes in the computing, networking, mobile, and high-end consumer market segments (gaming, HD/Smart TV). However, due to additional form factor and low power demands, WLP and advanced FC substrates are also widespread in majority of smartphone functions: application processors, baseband, transceivers, filters, amplifiers, WiFi modules, drivers, codecs, power management, etc.

RF Front End modules and components for cellphones 2017 - Report by Yole Deve...Yole Developpement
A dynamic market with high responsivity to technical innovation, the RF front end industry is set to grow at 14% CAGR to reach $22.7B in 2022.
A market that will more than double in six years!
The radio-frequency (RF) front end and components market for cellphones is highly dynamic. From being worth $10.1B last year, it is expected to reach $22.7B in 2022. Such high growth is definitely something that players in other semiconductor markets would envy. However, the growth is not evenly distributed.
Filters represent the biggest business in the RF front end industry, and the value of this business will more than triple from 2016 to 2022. Most of this growth will derive from additional filtering needs from new antennas as well as the need for more filtering functionality due to multiple carrier aggregation (CA).
Power amplifiers (PAs) and low noise amplifiers (LNAs), the second biggest business, will be almost flat over the same period. High-end LTE PA market growth will be balanced by a shrinking 2G/3G market. The LNA market will grow steadily, especially thanks to the addition of new antennas.
Switches, the third biggest business, will double. This market will mainly be driven by antenna switches.
Lastly, antenna tuners, a small business today with an estimated $36M market value, will expand 7.5-fold to reach $272M in 2022. This growth is mainly due to tuning being added to both the main and the diversity antennas.

Power GaN 2016: Epitaxy and Devices, Applications, and Technology Trends - 20...Yole Developpement
GaN power devices: a promising, fast-growing market
A GROWING MARKET WITH LOTS OF EXCITING NEWS IN 2015 - 2016
2015 - 2016 has been an exciting year for the gallium nitride (GaN) power business. Up until late 2014, 600V/650V GaN HEMTs’ commercial availability was still questionable, despite some announcements from different players. Fast-forward to 2016 end users can now buy not only low-voltage GaN (<200V) devices from Efficient Power Conversion (EPC), but also high-voltage (600V/650V) components from several players, including Transphorm, GaN Systems, and Panasonic.
Also, a new start-up, Navitas Semiconductor, announced their GaN power IC in March 2016, followed by Dialog Semiconductors revealing their GaN power IC in August 2016. The idea
of bringing GaN from the power semiconductor market to the much bigger analog IC market is of interest to several other players too. For example, EPC and GaN Systems are both working on a more integrated solution, and Texas Instruments, a well-established analog IC player, has also been engaged in GaN activities, releasing an 80V power stage and 600V power stage in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
Despite these exciting developments, the GaN power market remains small compared to the gigantic $335B silicon semiconductor market. In fact, according to Yole Développement (Yole) investigation the GaN power business was less than $10M in 2015. But before you think twice about GaN, remember that a small market size is not unusual for products just appearing on the market.
The first GaN devices were not commercially available until 2010, so we are talking about an industry that is only six years old. What is most important is the GaN market’s future potential – and Yole expects the GaN power business to grow, reaching a market size of around $300M in 2021 at a 2016 – 2021 CAGR of 86%.
This report provides a structured vision of the GaN power device market in terms of uses, applications, and potential trends.
Gate Driver Market and Technology Trends - 2017 Report by Yole DeveloppementYole Developpement
Gate driver ICs will be challenged by greater integration demands and the arrival of GaN and SiC.
The gate driver IC market will benefit from the steady growth of the power semiconductor industry
In recent years, a much greater percentage of home appliances, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, including mild hybrids, and renewable energy products have implemented dedicated power semiconductors devices on-board. The majority of these applications utilize power MOSFETs and IGBTs as power switches, but the adoption rate of gate drivers and applications of IGBTs and MOSFETs are different. In 2016, more than 60% of the gate drivers used in power applications were attached to MOSFETs. Nevertheless, the revenue gap between MOSFET and IGBT gate drivers is quickly narrowing.
Yole Développement (Yole) forecasts gate driver ICs will benefit from power semiconductors delivering a 6.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2017-2022. The gate driver IC market revenue, which was estimated to have been $1.2B in 2016, is forecast to have a 5.1% CAGR for 2017-2022.

Silicon Photonics for Data Centers and Other Applications 2016 - Report by Yo...Yole Developpement
Exponential data growth in data centers will propel silicon photonics to take off into other applications, like lidar.
Big data is getting bigger by the second. Transporting this level of data around with existing technologies will soon reach power consumption, density and weight limits. Photons will continue to replace electrons throughout networks, including in the data center, in the rack and very soon on the board.
Silicon photonics is an exciting technology mixing optics, CMOS technology and advanced packaging. It combines silicon technology’s low cost, higher integration and interconnect density and higher number of embedded functionalities with lower power consumption and better reliability compared to legacy optics.
Massive R&D investments have been made in silicon photonics, but today there are still few products on the market. However, this technology has been strongly pushed by large Webcom companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook, with investments that will overtake the traditional service providers’ investments in a few years. These Webcom players are targeting $1/Gb prices and are principals for the development of cost-effective photonics technology for future generations of data centers.
Gas Sensor Technology and Market - 2016 Report by Yole DeveloppementYole Developpement
Gas sensors on the verge of massive market adoption
Air quality is becoming a major concern, and therefore gas sensors are increasingly attracting interest. Gas sensing technologies are not new. Gas sensors embedded in gas detectors for defense and industrial safety applications form a highly regulated and mature market. But the growing awareness of the air quality challenge humankind faces is creating new applications and opportunities. These include gas sensors in consumer products like home devices, wearables and smartphones, or for buildings and cars, including indoor/in-cabin air quality monitoring.
Yole Développement’s Gas Sensor report estimates that the gas sensor market is currently growing, driven by Heating, Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) and future consumer applications. It was worth $560M in 2014 and will reach almost $920M in 2021, at 7.3% CAGR. An upside market of almost $65M in 2021 is possible if gas sensors are widely adopted in consumers products.
There are numerous market drivers that will contribute to the growth:
• Driven by better energy management, the building market will experience 13.6% CAGR for a total market estimated at $237M in 2021.
• The medical industry is looking for very high sensitivity for asthma attack sensors or oxygen sensors for breath control.
• Consumer applications such as wearables and smartphones are driving the development of new gas sensors to reduce cost, power consumption and size with MEMS technologies.
• Driven by the desire for better outdoor air quality control, the environmental market will grow at almost 19% CAGR.
• The transport market is driven by oxygen sensors and future depollution applications.
The consumer market is very attractive as it can drive very large volumes depending on user case adoption, cost and technical maturity. The smartphone industry has revolutionized the sensor industry as mobile applications today aggregate ever more sensors. Gas sensors could be the next to be integrated in smart phones and/or wearables. As we believe that user cases are crucial for wide adoption of gas sensors in consumer products, we have built a list of potential applications and benchmarked them.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
