A new technical paper titled "Assessment of Wafer-Level Transfer Techniques of Graphene with Respect to Semiconductor Industry Requirements" was published by researchers at Infineon Technologies AG, RWTH Aachen University, Protemics, and Advantest. Abstract "Graphene is a promising candidate for future electronic applications. Manufacturing graphene-based electronic devices typically requ... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Susan Rambo - 27 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Electronic system design (ESD) industry revenue is up 8.9% from $3,458.2 million in Q3 2021 to $3,767.4 million in Q3 2022 according to a report from SEMI’s ESD Alliance. Read our in-depth take on what this means. In an attempt to make a viable reusable DNA biosensor probe, NIST researchers used an extremely low-power FETdeveloped at CEA-LETI to remove noise in their DNA biosensor circuitr... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 13 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

With funding from the Semiconductor Research Corporation, a group of 10 universities is banding together to create the Processing with Intelligent Storage and Memory center, or PRISM, led by University of California San Diego. The $50.5 million PRISM center will focus on four different themes: novel memory and storage devices and circuits; next generation architectures; systems and software; an... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 13 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The head of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Jennifer Homendy, voiced concern about the impact of heavier electric vehicles (EVs) will have in crashes with smaller cars with internal combustion engines (ICEs). Homendy compared the weight of the GMC Hummer and the Ford F-150’s EV to ICE version and found the EVs are 2,000 to 6,000 pounds heavier. The extra weight in EVs is... » read more

The Good And Bad Of Bi-Directional Charging
By Marie C. Baca and Ed Sperling - 11 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 2

Auto OEMs are starting to offer bi-directional charging in EVs, allowing batteries to power homes during outages or wherever else it is needed, and to smooth out any hiccups in the grid. But this technology also can shorten the lifetime of batteries, and it can open the door to more cyberattacks. The idea behind bi-directional charging is simple enough. EVs can store huge amounts of power, a... » read more

Metrology Options Increase As Device Needs Shift
By Laura Peters - 10 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 1

Semiconductor fabs are taking an ‘all hands on deck’ approach to solving tough metrology and yield management challenges, combining tools, processes, and other technologies as the chip industry transitions to nanosheet transistors on the front end and heterogenous integration on the back end. Optical and e-beam tools are being extended, while X-ray inspection is being added on a case-by-... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Susan Rambo - 06 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

This was a tough week for cybersecurity. Chinese researchers claim to have figured out a way to crack some of the most advanced security algorithms with only 372 physical qubits, versus millions of qubits as previously theorized. This can be used to both speed up quantum decryption and to create large integers that can withstand future attacks. If it proves out, that approach would significantl... » read more

Shifting Toward Software-Defined Vehicles
By John Koon - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Apple reportedly is developing a software-defined vehicle. But so are Renault, Hyundai, General Motors, and just about everyone else. Some of the benefits of SDVs include increased comfort, convenience, safety, reliability, and remote software and firmware updates. Preventive and predictive maintenance, and remote diagnostics, can be done more conveniently over the air, while vehicle behavio... » read more

How Secure Are RISC-V Chips?
By Jeff Goldman - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 3

When the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities were first uncovered in 2018, they heralded an industry-wide shift in perspective regarding processor security. As the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index put it the following year, "2018 ushered in a new era of hardware security challenges that forced enterprises and the security community to rethink the way they approach hardware security." R... » read more

Highly Reliable Solutions Unleashing The Benefits Of Predictive Maintenance
By Danie Schneider - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Time and again, malfunctions in devices inside a building like HVAC, elevator, refrigeration, and other building systems can lead to severe operational disruption, resulting in increasing maintenance costs and discomfort for its occupants. Predictive maintenance can be an effective way to avoid unplanned downtime. It monitors the condition of equipment in real time and schedules maintenance bef... » read more
