Analysis And Design Of Dual-Layer TFTs (Oregon State Univ., Applied Materials)


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

What Causes Semiconductor Aging?


Semiconductor technology has evolved to the point where no one can assume chips will last forever. If not carefully considered, aging can shorten the life of an IC below the needs for an intended application. Aging is well studied in technology circles, but while others less directly involved may understand at a general level this is a problem, it's not always obvious why. So what exactly ar... » read more
