CSIS issued a new report that says Intel is "not too big to fail, but too good to lose." The report noted that Intel is needed for national security, and that it must be viewed in a geopolitical context rather than from a purely business standpoint when it comes to funding the company. Japan's government is creating a 10 trillion yen (~$65 billion) fund for next-gen technologies, including A... » read more

Analysis And Design Of Dual-Layer TFTs (Oregon State Univ., Applied Materials)
By Technical Paper Link - 13 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Dual-Layer Thin-Film Transistor Analysis and Design" was published by researchers at Oregon State University and Applied Materials. Abstract "A set of analytical equations is formulated for the analysis and design of a dual-layer thin-film transistor (TFT). For a given TFT structure, in which each channel layer thickness is specified, drain current is calculate... » read more

Quantum on silicon Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) developed a platform to probe and control qubits in silicon for quantum networks, after an earlier discovery that defects in silicon could be used to send and store quantum information over widely used telecommunications wavelengths. The device uses an electric diode to manipulate... » read more

Converting heat to electricity Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado Boulder fabricated a device to boost the conversion of heat into electricity. The technique involves depositing hundreds of thousands of microscopic columns of gallium nitride atop a silicon wafer. Layers of silicon are then removed from the underside of the waf... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Gregory Haley - 09 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The European Union’s Chips Act Commission has approved €8.1 billion ($8.73 billion) in funding for an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI). As part of this IPCEI, 56 companies, including small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs') and start-ups, will undertake 68 projects in research, innovation, and deployment of microelectronics and communication technologies across th... » read more

Where All The Semiconductor Investments Are Going
By Ed Sperling - 17 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 2

Companies and countries are funneling huge sums of money into semiconductor manufacturing, materials, and research — at least a half-trillion dollars over the next decade, and maybe much more — to guarantee a steady supply of chips and know-how to support growth across a wide swath of increasingly data-centric industries. The build-out of a duplicate supply chain that can guarantee capac... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Karen Heyman - 21 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

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: Design, Low Power
By Marie C. Baca - 21 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Tools and IP Electronic system design revenue hit a record $3.75 billion in the second quarter, according to a report from ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community. That number represents a 17.5% year-over-year increase. Walden C. Rhines, the report’s executive sponsor, said it was the largest such jump in over a decade and that all product categories and geographic regions recorded second ... » read more
