Vertical Nanowire Gate-All-Around FETs based on the GeSn-Material System Grown on Si


A new technical paper titled "Vertical GeSn nanowire MOSFETs for CMOS beyond silicon" was published by researchers at Peter Grünberg Institute 9, JARA, RWTH Aachen University, CEA, LETI, University of Grenoble Alpes, University of Leeds, and IHP. "Here, we present high performance, vertical nanowire gate-all-around FETs based on the GeSn-material system grown on Si. While the p-FET transcon... » read more

Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Feb. 28


New technical papers recently added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library: [table id=83 /] 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

In-Memory Computing: Assessing Multilevel RRAM-Based VMM Operations


A new technical paper titled "Experimental Assessment of Multilevel RRAM-Based Vector-Matrix Multiplication Operations for In-Memory Computing" was published by researchers at IHP (the Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics). Abstract: "Resistive random access memory (RRAM)-based hardware accelerators are playing an important role in the implementation of in-memory computin... » read more

GaN-on-GaN power semis Power semiconductors based on gallium nitride (GaN) are heating up in the market. Typically, suppliers are shipping devices using a GaN-on-silicon process. These devices are available with blocking voltages of up to 650 volts. Going beyond 650 volts is problematic, however. GaN-on-silicon processes suffer from lattice mismatches, cost and other issues. At the ... » read more

Silicon photonics prototyping A group of European and other research organizations have put the finishing touches on a project to help propel the development of silicon photonics into the commercial market. The project, dubbed ESSenTIAL, enables small- to mid-sized enterprises to develop prototypes and products based on silicon photonics. Funded by the European Commission, the project inclu... » read more
