I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

September 18, 2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007

The middle months of 2026 have been defined by, shall we say, “projects” throughout the industry, and as we approach the end of the third quarter, many of those projects are coming to light. That’s the theme I’m getting from this week’s news, and I tried to capture it with my selections. My must-reads include a market update on the leading fabless semiconductor houses, a call to action from SEMI directed at the policymakers in the European Union, a rollup of workforce and educational programs announced just this week, a role change at Indium, and the relaunch of the Global Electronics Association Sustainability teams’ DMA Toolkit.  

How do materials affect RF signal performance? It’s a fair question, and most will assume they already understand the answer. But this misunderstanding is exactly why so many high frequency designs underperform, require rework, or worse, fail in the field. Below the surface, where signal integrity is either preserved or destroyed, the truth is that at high frequencies, material selection matters, and that’s where most engineers get it wrong.
