Leading semiconductor manufacturer
Skyworks Solutions Inc. (SWKS) recently introduced
a series of wireless networking products that incorporate flip-chip
packaging to augment its existing mobile connectivity portfolio.
With these revolutionary products, the company expects to increase
functionality and ubiquitous connectivity as well as reduce the
front-end circuit board footprint of smartphones and tablets.
Flip-chip technology incorporates the strengths of various
packaging technologies to reduce production costs and improve
electrical and thermal performance. This easy-to-assemble lighter
packaging technology occupies lesser front-end circuit board space
and thickness as compared to other conventional packaging
materials. Consequently, this enables smartphone and tablet OEMs
(original equipment manufacturers) to fit in smaller, thinner
solutions for 802.11ac system-in-package (SiP) modules.
Skyworks continues to capitalize on increasing global mobile
connectivity and demand for high-performance solutions across a
diverse set of vertical markets. The company supports connectivity
across a number of strategic applications including medical
devices, wearable technologies, home automation and hybrid vehicles
as well as smartphones and tablets.
Skyworks aims to fuel its growth engine on the back of three
thriving business segments − mobile Internet, vertical markets and
analog components. Demand for mobile Internet applications is
exploding with the broad proliferation of smartphones, net books,
note books, caplets and other forms of embedded wireless devices.
Skyworks also continues to consolidate its share across the mobile
Internet spectrum. This covers everything from net books and data
cards to smartphones, and even entry-level handsets.
The market is estimated to have 50 billion connections by 2020.
Some of the fastest-growing segments include medical, industrial,
automotive and smart energy where connectivity is being adopted for
the very first time. Perfect quality, environmentally friendly
products and sustainable business practices are key differentiators
for this company in a very competitive environment. Consequently,
we expect Skyworks to post solid operating results in the near
future.
