Power/Performance Bits: Aug. 9


Capacitors in interposers Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology developed a 3D functional interposer containing an embedded capacitor. They tout the design as saving package area and reducing wiring length, resulting in less noise and power consumption. The capacitive elements are embedded inside a 300mm silicon piece using permanent adhesive and mold resin. The interconnects between ... » read more

Thinner, flexible touchscreens Researchers from RMIT University, University of New South Wales, and Monash University developed a thin, flexible electronic material for touchscreens. The material is 100 times thinner than current touchscreen materials. The new screens are still based on indium-tin oxide (ITO), a common touchscreen material. However, a liquid metal printing approach was used... » read more
