Chip Industry Week in Review


[Editor's Note: Early edition due to the U.S. July 4th holiday.] The U.S. government lifted export restrictions that barred Synopsys, Siemens EDA, and Cadence from selling EDA tools to China. In a statement, Synopsys said it received a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department immediately rescinding those restrictions. Siemens issued a similar statement. Which tools or hardware accelerated t... » read more

High-Performance p-type 2D FETs By Nitric Oxide Doping (Penn State)


A new technical paper titled "High-performance p-type bilayer WSe2 field effect transistors by nitric oxide doping" was published by researchers at Penn State University and Florida International University. Abstract "Two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for next-generation electronics, but the realization of high-performance p-type 2D field-effect transistors (FETs) has... » read more

Security Risks Mount For Aerospace, Defense Applications


Supply chain and hardware security vulnerabilities affect all industries, but they pose additional risks for the defense sector. Over-manufacturing and re-manufacturing allow chips from friendly nations to end up in the weapons of adversaries. And side-channel attacks such as power analysis or fault injection, as well as internet-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, provide a mea... » read more

Research Bits: Mar. 10


Incipient ferroelectricity Researchers from Penn State University and the University of Minnesota propose harnessing incipient ferroelectricity in multifunctional two-dimensional FETs to create neuromorphic computer memory. Materials with incipient ferroelectricity have no stable ferroelectric order at room temperature and need certain conditions to achieve an electrical charge. The FETs were ... » read more

2D Ferroelectric Field-Effect Transistors (Penn State, U. of Minnesota)


A new technical paper titled "Multifunctional 2D FETs exploiting incipient ferroelectricity in freestanding SrTiO3 nanomembranes at sub-ambient temperatures" was published by researchers at Penn State University and University of Minnesota. Abstract "Incipient ferroelectricity bridges traditional dielectrics and true ferroelectrics, enabling advanced electronic and memory devices. Firstly... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review


Concerns mount on the use of American-manufactured semiconductors in Russian weapons, with Analog Devices, AMD, Intel and TI set to testify next week before the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Also, U.S. and other government agencies issued a joint advisory and more details about ongoing Russian military cyberattacks, espionage, and sabotage. The U.S. Commerce Departmen... » read more
