The word "chip" can have at least two different meanings in the electronics industry. Some refer to integrated circuit packages as chips. Others use chips in reference to two-leaded component packages, mostly for resistors and capacitors.
In this animated presentation, chip refers to packages for resistors and capacitors.

From Carter to Trump Take Two
Micron continues to help its customers prosper from the strength of local North American markets. Never complacent, Micron still has eyes and ears on signals coming from global indicators such as worldwide revenue momentum and cross continental sentiment.
It has been a tale of two markets in electronics. One of them includes North America in general, and some of the larger global players in particular. The other seems more driven by Europe and Asia.
Sturdy growth is still evident in our industry here. IPC reported North American EMS and PCB shipments were up roughly ten and five percent, respectively, in the latest month with data available (Nov. 2024). And book-to-bill ratios also show that demand remains strong for both, as well. Globally, Taiwan’s Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, reported record revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024.
And yet Europe remains weak, and global sentiment is subdued. IPC’s December 2024 Global Sentiment Report indicated continued contraction in the electronics manufacturing industry. And there are persistent cost pressures, mostly from rising labor and material costs.
Geopolitical unrest, government intervention, and bond market muscle flexing are all contributing to a wave of changes ranging from public discourse to capital expenditures. Times are changing, that much is sure. William Priest contributed the following sentiment to a recent Barron’s Roundtable discussion “… we are living in an era of deglobalization where the security of supply chains is deemed more important than the efficiency of supply chains.”
Micron Corporation has been helping customers navigate changes since the end of the Carter presidency when America and the world seemed mired in turmoil leading to a general malaise. Americans have since prospered in seemingly good times and seemingly bad ones. Now we are entering a second Trump presidency, and the world is again faced with great international disturbances stirring confusion and uncertainty within nations and amongst persons. And still, gas prices keep changing and Micron keeps serving its customers.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the @Design2Part show at the Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough, MA on October 16 -17, 2024.
Looking forward to another great show in Uncasville, CT in April 2025.
Micron Corporation has been dealing with the particulars of PCB assemblies since 1982, a long time ago for sure.
We understand Layer Counts of PCBs.
Always find the best Base Laminate as appropriate for customers.
Maintain an understanding of Copper Weight.
Choose the best Buried and Blind Vias.
And never ever let Voids and Cracks destroy the assemblies we build.
This is what forty-two plus years of PCB assembly experience can do for a company.
Micron Corp., we built it better.
Visit us at the Norwood Airport Business Park, our doors are always open.
A big thank you to all those who visited our booth at the @Design2Part Show in Marlborough last week. It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet many more new ones.
