    [SINGAPORE] As he takes the helm of the company his father led for four decades, Micro-Mechanics chief executive officer Kyle Borch knows that the semiconductor industry has never faced a time like the present.

    Shifting supply chains, shrinking chip sizes and surging artificial intelligence (AI) spending have created challenges and opportunities for the company, as it seeks to build the foundation of a “next-generation” chip industry.
