Quality Semiconductors Quartz & Optic Quartz factory

1. AI will Predominantly Remain in the Cloud The growth in datacenter investments to support LLMs will continue strongly next year, as LLMs continue to grow in parameters. 2. New Transistor Architecture Shakes Up Foundry Market The move to next-generation 2nm processes will improve both power consumption and performance. 3. HBM4 Leads Memory Market Recovery Amid the leading HBM manufacturers’ aggressive scaling of HBM3E production, the next wave of AI chips with the new 16Hi HBM4 is expected to achieve volume production in 1H 2026. 4. Advanced Packaging and Photonics Turn the Heat Down Silicon photonics, in the form of co-packaged optics (CPO), promises to reduce networking power consumption by up to 70% while also potentially increasing data transfer speeds. 5. US/China Geopolitics have Deep Repercussions The rapidly shifting technology landscape seems almost slow compared to the pace of change happening at a global political level, with tariffs and trade restrictions creating a fluctuating business environment.

These machines are responsible for the world’s computer chips. ASML, a Dutch technology company, manufactures the world's most advanced and expensive chipmaking machines, costing up to US$400 million each. These High NA lithography systems are essential for TSMC to produce advanced semiconductors used by NVIDIA and Apple. The machines create extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) by shooting molten tin at 50,000 droplets per second and vaporizing them with lasers. This process etches microscopic patterns onto silicon wafers with unprecedented precision. Each machine takes 18 months to build, weighs more than a double-decker bus, and requires seven Boeing 747 aircraft for delivery. ASML's monopoly on this technology has made it a geopolitical flashpoint in global trade disputes.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and xAI, has announced the Terafab project, a joint venture between the 3 companies will be the "largest chip manufacturing facility ever." In his usual grandiose fashion, Musk claims Terafab is the next step towards harnessing the power of the sun and creating a "galactic civilization." Musk told the plans for the Terafab in a livestream on X. He stated that the facility exists because the global chip industry cannot expand quickly enough to meet his projected demand across AI, robotics, and space computing. "That rate is much less than we'd like," Musk said from the defunct Seaholm Power Plant in downtown Austin. "We either build the TeraFab, or we don't have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the TeraFab." The Terafab project, estimated to cost at least $20 billion, will start with the Advanced Technology Fab in Austin, Texas, where Tesla is already headquartered. The Austin fab will house equipment for logic, memory, packaging, testing, and lithography mask production in a single building. Musk claimed that capability does not exist at any other facility in the world, and that having everything under one roof enables a rapid iteration loop: make a chip, test it, revise the mask, and repeat without shipping wafers between sites.

From March 2 to 5, Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC 2026) is being held in Barcelona. Under the theme “Smart Connections, Green Future,” ZTT is showcasing a series of forward-looking solutions in green communications, intelligent computing infrastructure, and innovative connectivity, presenting to global customers and partners its mission of “Connecting wonderful lives with optic-electric networks” along with its technological strengths. Driving Connectivity: Advancing Core Materials for Next-Generation Optical InterconnectsIn response to the surging demand from AI and data centers for ultra-high-speed and ultra-low-latency transmission, ZTT has achieved significant breakthroughs in specialty optical fibers—one of the key highlights at this year’s exhibition. The company’s self-developed bend-insensitive four-core optical fiber supports 400G, 800G, and even terabit-level transmission, delivering higher integration density and improved space utilization for high-density cabling systems. For high-speed data center applications, ZTT provides comprehensive solutions including multi-core fibers, multi-core cables, and splicing accessories, with support for strong/weak coupling as well as single-mode and few-mode customized structural designs. At the same time, ZTT continues to advance next-generation specialty fiber technologies such as hollow-core optical fiber. With lower latency and reduced nonlinear effects compared to conventional solid-core fibers, hollow-core fiber demonstrates strong potential for future ultra-high-speed interconnects and advanced computing networks. Empowering Intelligent Computing: Building Efficient Computing PlatformsTo address the challenges of high-density and high-energy AI computing, ZTT presented a full-stack data center solution—from power supply to cooling—through an integrated demonstration model. By leveraging highly integrated intelligent power modules and liquid cooling technologies, the company significantly enhances energy efficiency and helps data centers achieve lower PUE levels, meeting the thermal management and reliability requirements of high-density computing environments. Backed by strong in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities, ZTT is building an integrated digital infrastructure ecosystem spanning power, communications, and new energy, delivering safer, more efficient, and more sustainable solutions to customers worldwide. Advancing Green Development: Building Intelligent Network SystemsSustainability is embedded throughout ZTT’s network coverage portfolio. Its green base station antennas feature structural innovation and optimized feeder network design, increasing radiation efficiency to over 80% and improving gain by 1–1.5 dBi—achieving breakthroughs in both performance and energy efficiency. For deep coverage scenarios, ZTT provides end-to-end green indoor coverage solutions. These include environmentally friendly, high flame-retardant leaky cable solutions suitable for subsea tunnels, as well as integrated active DAS and passive Roomtop leaky cable systems designed for high-density environments such as transportation hubs.
