Welcome to Global Technology Research !

Brief

Global Technology Research is a Substack newsletter by AYZ (published 2026-03-05; created 2026-03-11; last updated 2026-04-04) that provides deep-dive analysis across the semiconductor and technology-hardware supply chain. AYZ—self-described as a “tech geek” with 10–20 years of semiconductor investing experience—focuses on technical topics from upstream equipment and materials to downstream AI server clusters, covering EUV, hybrid bonding, co‑packaged optics, TPU racks, NVL288/CPO designs and ASIC/server architectures. The newsletter maintains a stocks list (updated 2025-12-31) and separates free/basic content (>70% accessible) from VIP exclusives (5–6 extra deep dives/year for a $50 top-up). It disclaims MNPI and does not give buy/sell recommendations or forecasts; AYZ reports a historical hit rate of about 60%, acknowledging roughly 40% of views may be wrong.

What do I do?Basically a tech geek, I have 10~20 years of semiconductor investing experience.I am passionate about digging deep into the latest technology trends, and finding out how the technology changes impact individual companies along the supply chain.My research interest ranges from the most upstream (eg. semiconductor equipment and materials), to the most downstream (eg. AI server clusters) of the entire semiconductor and technology hardware supply chain.Below is a list of popular articles of my newsletter:ASML (ASML US) -- The Return of the EUV King?The Ironwood – An Introduction to Google TPU Rack & Optical Circuit Switch SystemMarvell (MRVL US) vs. Broadcom (AVGO US) vs. Alchip (3661 TT) vs. GUC (3443 TT) – A Brief Update on ASIC PlaysIs This Time Different? – How Will AI Large Language Model Bring the Memory Supercycle?NVIDIA (NVDA US) VR200 NVL144 CPX – An Introduction to PCB Design Change and BeneficiariesKLAC vs. Lasertec vs. ONTO vs. CAMT – The Process Control War, Plus Discussing the Moats of Semiconductor Equipment CompaniesNVLink vs. UALink vs. NeuronLink vs. SUE vs. PCIe – How Large is Astera Labs (ALAB US) Switch Opportunity?2025 Computex Review – An Introduction to 800V HVDC Power RackNVIDIA (NVDA US) 2025 GTC Review – Is Amphenol (APH US) Dead Beyond NVL72?What’s Going on with Marvell (MRVL US)?What to Buy in Semi Downcycle (2)? – NVIDIA vs. ASIC Plays?The Minerva – An Introduction of Meta ASIC Server Design, and its JDM Celestica (CLS US)NVIDIA (NVDA US) 2025 GTC Preview -- An Update on its Latest CPO Switch and NVL288 DesignNVIDIA (NVDA US) GB300, Vera Rubin & Beyond – An Update on Future PCB/CCL and Power Design ChangeCo-Packaged Optics (CPO) – The Next Big Thing for Nvidia (NVDA US)?The Bonder War – An update on ASMPT (522 HK),BESI (BESI NA), Shibaura (6590 JP), Tazmo (6266 JP) and other advanced packaging equipment playersTo get every post and other paid subscriber benefits, upgrade to a paid subscription: SubscribedWhat I don’t do?This newsletter aims to provide readers with information about the latest technology trends and changes in the industry, but NOT to provide material non-public information (MNPI) of any listed companies, and the content should NOT be construed as business or financial advice.I do NOT provide stock recommendations NOR stock ratings (eg. buy/ sell/ hold).I do NOT provide earnings forecast NOR valuation/ target price for any stocks. Please reach out to professional equity research houses for stock-investment advice.Readers should always do their own research before making any investment decisions. In fact, my long-term track record of investment hit-rate is only ~60%, so you can reasonably assume ~40% of my view is wrong.Refer a friend to earn rewardsIf you enjoy Global Technology Research, it would mean the world to me if you could invite friends to subscribe and read with us.
