Updated State-of-the-art Lab: Microelectronics Reverse Engineering and Market Analysis

Gain access to the leaders in microelectronics reverse engineering and market analysis. From chip identification down to structural analysis at the atomic level, TechInsights uses proprietary sampling and imaging tools in our state-of-the-art lab. This allows our expert team of engineers, scientists and technologists to uncover the insights our customers demand, to help them make informed decisions about their products, design roadmaps, and longer-term technology investment decisions.

Market Analysis

We have expanded our market analysis coverage through acquisition of best-in-class firms such as VLSI, Strategy Analytics, Linley Group, McClean Report, and IC Knowledge. Individually, these companies provided unique and valuable data and insights. Building upon these great businesses we are now launching the most robust end-to-end coverage of the full Semiconductor Value Chain connecting technical verticals such as logic, memory, image sensors, power, and RF with industry verticals such as Datacenter, Mobile, Compute, AI, and Consumer Electronics.

Teardown Analysis Speed and Transparency

We have increased the speed by which our Teardown analysis is delivered up to 4 weeks faster than before and increased visibility to customers by expanding our checkpoints from 2 to 6.

Expanding our team of experts

In addition to our Senior Fellows including Dr. Jeongdong Choe, Dan Hutcheson, Scotten Jones, and Linley Gwennap, we have recruited experts such as Dr. Dan McGrath, Dr. Owen Rogers, Mike Howard, Walt Coon, Carrie MacGillivray, and Brett Azuma. This is in addition to the more than 1000 years of combined experience in our engineering team and hundreds of years in combined analyst experience.
