Hazel Kaya writes TECHi's long-form pillar coverage of the semiconductor industry — foundries, equipment makers, design houses, and the end-market demand reshaping them. Her pieces draw on SIA shipment data, export-control filings, and capex guidance from TSMC, Samsung, and Intel. Readers come to her work for the multi-year structural view: which categories are consolidating, which are commoditizing, and how AI compute demand is rewriting the old cyclical rules.
