Platform for LN-Based Wavelength-Scale Integrated Phononic Waveguides On Diamond (Stanford, UCSB)


A new technical paper titled "Integrated phononic waveguide on thin-film lithium niobate on diamond" was published by researchers at Stanford University and UC Santa Barbara. Abstract "We demonstrate wavelength-scale phononic waveguides formed by transfer-printed thin-film lithium niobate (LN) on bulk diamond (LNOD), a material stack that combines the strong piezoelectricity of LN with the ... » read more

Digital Twins For Design And Verification Workflows


Experts At The Table: AI is starting to impact several parts of the EDA design and verification flows, but so far these improvements are isolated to a single tool or small flows provided by a single company. What is required is a digital twin of the development process itself, on which AI can operate. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, including Johannes Stahl, senior d... » read more
