Infineon technologies: An insight view of current semiconductor developments!

During the past few decades the semiconductor industry has been marked by two words: change and speed! Up's and down's of plus 50 percent or minus 35 percent demonstrate the very challenging market conditions. One key factor in order to meet the requirements of the market is the permanent focus upon a wide range of products on a very innovative level. Consequently Infineon Technologies focuses its strategy and its exceptionally system expertise in the fields of Communications, Automotive and Industrial, Memory Products and Secure Mobile Solutions - the 4 Business units of IFX.
Actual trends in the market assure the upcoming importance of Ambient Intelligence, the disappearance of electronics into the environment of human beings. Wearable electronics and smart textiles are only some examples of existing possibilities.
Additionally, RFID - Radio Frequency Identification - is a comprehensive approach to the RFID-based logistics segment, incorporating smart label technology, which consists of the RFID chip. Infineon RFID system solutions can be adapted to applications in the automotive and textile industry, meeting sector-specific requirements for logistics processes in production and supply chain management.
The challenging semiconductor market requires the strong focus on innovative new products, Infineon Technologies with its wide range in the portfolio contribute considerably to the current development.
