Nova Ltd. versus KLA versus Camtek: Metrology in the Age of Advanced Packaging
Introduction Nova Ltd. (NASDAQ: NVMI) has long been a precision player in semiconductor metrology, but for much of its history, it has lacked the scale and investor recognition of giants like KLA Corp. (NASDAQ: KLAC) or the inspection-driven momentum of Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT). In 2024, however, Nova crossed a critical threshold. Its advanced packaging […]
Hidden Geography of Chip-Making Revenue, Manufacturing—and Tariffs
The semiconductor industry is more fragmented than one may know. U.S.-based semiconductor companies dominate headlines with a 50.4% global market share, but the factories that make the chips are mostly in Asia. Wall Street rewards Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) for their soaring revenue and […]
Nvidia Is Giving Legitimacy to Quantum Computing
Introduction We have a compelling technology story to share with you. In a March 2025 article published in Gilder’s Guidepost, we wrote: “Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Wants to Buy a Quantum Computing Company — My Thinking Outside the Box: He’s Playing 4D Chess.” I proposed that Huang’s public dismissal of quantum computing in January—saying that useful systems were […]
Broadcom and the Rise of Custom AI Silicon
The artificial intelligence (AI) boom is redrawing the boundaries of the semiconductor industry. While Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) captures headlines for its record-setting graphics processing unit (GPU) revenues, the deeper structural transformation lies in the move toward custom silicon. Particularly important are AI-specific application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Microsoft (NASDAQ: […]
KLA: Guardian of Yield in the Age of Atomic Precision
Introduction: In a World of $30,000 Wafers, Imperfection Is No Longer an Option The future of computing will not be built on brute force—it will be built on atomic precision. In a world where each 2nm wafer can cost nearly $30,000, the smallest defect is not a nuisance—it is a financial catastrophe. As the cost […]
