Research Bits: May 16


Germanium-tin transistor Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich, CEA-Leti, University of Leeds, Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics, and RWTH Aachen University fabricated a new type of transistor from a germanium-tin alloy. Charge carriers can move faster in the material than in silicon or germanium, which enables lower voltages in operation. “The germanium–tin syst... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power


Arm advanced its progress toward an initial public offering, confidentially submitting a draft registration statement on Form F-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The size and price range for the proposed offering have yet to be determined. Graphene IDM Paragraf acquired Cardea Bio, a maker of graphene-based biocompatible chips. Cardea has developed a biosignal processing unit... » read more
