Phononic and Magnonic Properties of 1D MoI3 Nanowires
By Technical Paper Link - 28 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Elemental excitations in MoI3 one-dimensional van der Waals nanowires" was published by researchers at NIST, UC Riverside, University of Georgia, Theiss Research Inc, and Stanford University. "We described here the elemental excitations in crystals of MoI3 a vdW [van der Waals] material with a true-1D crystal structure. Our measurements reveal anomalous temperat... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Karen Heyman - 18 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

Chinese memory chip maker YMTC and dozens of other Chinese entities are "at risk" of being added to a trade blacklist as soon as Dec. 6, a U.S. Commerce Department official said in prepared remarks seen by Reuters. SMIC co-CEO Zhao Haijun said on an earnings call that recent export controls from the United States will have an "adverse impact" on the company's production. The U.K. has rule... » read more

Post-Quantum And Pre-Quantum Security Issues Grow
By Marie C. Baca - 03 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 2

General-purpose quantum computers will be able to crack the codes that protect much of the world’s information, and while these machines don’t exist yet, security experts say governments and businesses are starting to prepare for encryption in a post-quantum world. The task is made all the more challenging because no one knows exactly how future quantum machines will work, or even which mat... » read more

Atomic-level rare earth manipulation Scientists from Ohio University, Argonne National Laboratory, and the University of Illinois at Chicago have rotated a single, charged rare earth molecule on a metal surface without changing the charge. The team used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) system to rotate a positively charged Europium base molecule with negatively charged counterions as a p... » read more

Fallout from the new U.S. export controls continues. Under new regulations, companies looking to supply Chinese chipmakers with advanced manufacturing equipment (<14nm) must first obtain a license from the U.S. Department of Commerce. In addition, U.S. persons (citizens and permanent residents) are barred from supporting China’s advanced chip development or production without a license. ... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing

Automotive, mobility Infineon opened a new factory in Cegléd, Hungary, for assembly and test of high-power semiconductor modules for EVs. “The new manufacturing capacities will help Infineon accommodate the growing demand for electromobility applications,” said Infineon’s COO Rutger Wijburg in a press release. Production ramp-up started in February 2022. Infineon also announced it will ... » read more

Testing Chips For Security
By Jeff Goldman - 06 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Supply chains and manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly diverse, making it much harder to validate the security in complex chips. To make matters worse, it can be challenging to justify the time and expense to do so, and there’s little agreement on the ideal metrics and processes involved. Still, this is particularly important as chip architectures evolve from a single chip dev... » read more

Week In Review: Manufacturing, Test

President Biden signed an executive order on Sept. 15, limiting foreign investments in U.S. technology by "competitor or adversarial nations" that are deemed a threat to national security. In the past, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) largely limited its actions to the sale of U.S. companies. The new directive expands that to include investments involving "U.S. s... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
