Research Bits: March 14
By Jesse Allen - 14 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Shift register-in-memory architecture Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design propose a new reconfigurable shift register-in-memory architecture for devices that can work both as a reconfigurable memory component and as a programmable shift register. The device is based on phase-change alloys, which can switch reversibly between the glassy amorphous state and the or... » read more

Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Mar. 14
By Linda Christensen - 14 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

New technical papers recently added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library: [table id=86 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us ... » read more

Integrating Siloed Data In Semiconductor Manufacturing
By Antonija Zagar - 13 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

In semiconductor manufacturing, huge amounts of data are generated and collected at every step in multiple production areas, with data coming from wafer fab, probe/testing, assembly, and final test. That data is usually stored separately in its respective manufacturing department, isolated from other departments. In order to analyze the production data and make better decisions, yield an... » read more

The Power Of Sensors In Transmission Systems
By Ladurner Sebastian - 13 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

I have always had a passion for cars. As a child, I used to spend hours playing with toy cars and imagining all sorts of incredible adventures. But as I got older, my love affair with cars only grew stronger. I became fascinated by the mechanics of these amazing machines and all the different parts that come together to make them run. And one of the parts that always intrigued me the most were ... » read more

Self-Heating Issues Spread
By Brian Bailey - 13 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 1

With every new node there are additional physical effects that must be considered, but not all of them are of the same level of criticality. One that is being mentioned more frequently is self-heating. All devices consume power and when they do that, it becomes heat. "In essence, all active devices generate heat as carriers move, creating channels for current to pass through the gates," says... » read more

Ferroelectric HEMT Reconfigurable Transistor (U. of Michigan)
By Technical Paper Link - 10 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Fully epitaxial, monolithic ScAlN/AlGaN/GaN ferroelectric HEMT" was published by researchers at University of Michigan. “We can make our ferroelectric HEMT reconfigurable,” That means it can function as several devices, such as one amplifier working as several amplifiers that we can dynamically control. This allows us to reduce the circuit area and lower the... » read more
