Based on Application Type – The market is segmented into semiconductor, HDD, LED, display, and solar. Semiconductor is the most dominant application type and is expected to maintain its lead during the forecast period. Amongst semiconductors, it stands out as semiconductor manufacturing needs a large number of vacuum valves to offer ultra-clean environments to protect production from any size of contamination that could prove fatal. The industry requires valves that satisfy strict purity requirements so they can prevent any leaks and generate minimal particles. Semiconductor valves surpass regular industrial valves because their design priority focuses on vacuum and cleanroom operations. Based on the Material Type – The market is segmented into stainless steel, aluminum, and other materials. Stainless steel is currently the most dominant material type and is likely to maintain its lead during the forecast period. Stainless steel valves stand out because they provide excellent compatibility for high-pressure and vacuum conditions, thus essential for operations involving substrate transfer, deposition, and cleaning processes. The valves experience lower maintenance frequency because they do not rust, which results in reduced costs and equipment downtime for fabs. Stainless steel maintains its position as the main material in microelectronics valve production through its ability to survive long operational lifespans and strong mechanical performance. To know the most attractive segments, click here for a free sample of the report: Which Region Shows the Most Promising Growth Forecast and Opportunity? The analysis suggests that the Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market. This growth outlook is mainly attributed to the following: Asia-Pacific will lead the microelectronics valve market due to its position as the largest producer of semiconductors in the global market.

Fort Worth City Council Eyes $15M Tech Deal, Budget, And Zoning Decisions
The Fort Worth City Council will tackle budget planning, zoning cases, and a major economic development deal during two meetings on Tuesday, August 12. The meetings come as the city prepares its fiscal year 2026 budget and considers a potential $15 million agreement with a microelectronics manufacturer, according to meeting agendas. Council members will convene at noon on August 12 for a work session in City Hall's lower level. The session will focus on the recommended operating and capital budgets for fiscal year 2026. Budget discussions will include a wrap-up session and the adoption schedule. The regular council meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Council Chamber. Members will vote on adopting the Eastside Transportation Plan and approving the city's annual action plan for $13.2 million in federal housing grants. The grants come from four federal programs: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership Program, Emergency Solutions Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program. Council will consider 19 zoning cases during the evening session. Members will also vote on the city's annual funding request to the Crime Control & Prevention District for $138.6 million. A five-year lease agreement with Cook Children's Health Care System is on the agenda. The agreement would provide office space for the Fort Worth Police at the Las Vegas Trail Neighborhood Health Center. The potential economic development agreement with Adom Industries Inc. would establish a prototyping and advanced microelectronics manufacturing facility in Fort Worth. The deal would not exceed $15 million. Residents can watch both meetings live on Fort Worth TV, either online or on TV, or through the city's YouTube channel. Those wishing to speak before the council can find instructions on the city's website. Solve the daily Crossword

Exclusive-US lawmaker questions Intel CEO's ties to China in letter to company board chair
By Max A. Cherney SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -U.S. Republican Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel's board chair on Wednesday with questions about the chipmaker's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan's ties to Chinese firms and a recent criminal case involving his former company Cadence Design. Writing to "express concern about the security and integrity of Intel's operations and its potential impact on U.S. national security", Cotton asked in the letter to Intel chairperson Frank Yeary whether the company's board was aware of the subpoenas sent to Cadence during Tan's time there as CEO before Intel hired him. Cotton asked what measures were taken to address those concerns. He also asked whether Intel's board required Tan to divest from chip firms in China linked to the Chinese military or Communist Party, and if Tan adequately disclosed other ties to Chinese companies due to Intel's involvement in the Secure Enclave program, an initiative designed under the Biden administration to ensure a secure supply of microelectronics for defense. Because of Intel getting federal funding under the initiative, Cotton questioned Yeary in the letter about Tan's disclosures related to investment, professional roles or other ties to Chinese companies. "Intel is required to be a responsible steward of American taxpayer dollars and to comply with applicable security regulations," Cotton wrote. "Mr. Tan's associations raise questions about Intel's ability to fulfill these obligations." In a statement, an Intel spokesperson said, "Intel and Mr. Tan are deeply committed to the national security of the United States and the integrity of our role in the U.S. defense ecosystem." The company said it would address the matters in the letter with the Senator. In April, Reuters reported Tan - himself or through venture funds he has founded or operates - has invested in hundreds of Chinese companies, some of which are linked to the Chinese military. The Intel CEO invested at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms between March 2012 and December 2024, Reuters found. A source familiar with the matter had at the time told Reuters that Tan had divested from his positions in entities in China, without providing further details. Chinese databases reviewed by Reuters at the time had listed many of his investments as current, and Reuters was at the time unable to establish the extent of his divestitures. Cotton's letter mentioned the Reuters story as a source. CADENCE REACHES SETTLEMENTS It is not illegal for U.S. citizens to hold stakes in Chinese companies, even those with ties to the Chinese military, unless those companies have been added to the U.S. Treasury's Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List, which explicitly bans such investments. Reuters in April had found no evidence that Tan at the time was invested directly in any company on the U.S. Treasury's list. Separately, last week Cadence Design agreed to plead guilty and pay more than $140 million to resolve charges for selling its chip design products to a Chinese military university, Reuters reported. The institution was believed to be involved in simulating nuclear blasts. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Cadence said it was "pleased" to reach settlements with the Justice and Commerce departments. Tan ran Cadence as CEO from 2008 through 2021 and was executive chairman until May 2023. The sales to Chinese entities occurred under his leadership at Cadence, which makes design software and other tools used to create chips. Sign in to access your portfolio

Chicago's $1 Billion Quantum Computer to Start Operating in 2028
The startup behind Chicago's more than $1 billion quantum computing deal said operations are expected to start in three years, a win for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who backed the investment and is widely seen as a potential presidential candidate. PsiQuantum Corp. will start construction at the state's new quantum and microelectronics park in the South Side of Chicago later this year, Chief Executive Officer Jeremy O'Brien said in an interview at Bloomberg's Chicago office. The supercomputer — one of two utility-scale, fault-tolerant machines the company is building globally — is expected to be online in 2028, he said.
