Research Bits: April 4
By Jesse Allen - 04 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Wet-like plasma etching Researchers from Nagoya University and Hitachi developed a new etch method called wet-like plasma etching that combines the selectivity of wet etching with the controllability of dry etching. The researchers say the technique will make it possible to etch complex structures such as metal carbides consisting of titanium (Ti) and aluminum (Al), such as TiC or TiAlC, wh... » read more

Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Mar. 28
By Linda Christensen - 28 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

New technical papers recently added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library: [table id=89 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us p... » read more

Tools & IP Synopsys is joining Microsoft in the U.S. Department of Defense's Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes (RAMP) program to support the development of IC hardware and workflow prototypes that incorporate Synopsys' assured design and manufacturing flows into Microsoft Azure. The RAMP program aims to bring commercial capabilities and speed to the development of semiconductors fo... » read more

The Next Leap
By Ed Sperling - 14 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Some interesting new technologies are about to go on display. Chipmakers and systems companies have been working on quantum computing, photonics, and specialized AI processors, for the past several years, and those efforts are beginning to gain momentum. The goal is no longer a doubling of performance and power. It's now orders of magnitude improvement, and next week's Hot Chips conference i... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: July 14

Durian supercapacitors Researchers from the University of Sydney developed a method that uses durian and jackfruit waste to create supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are capable of quickly storing and discharging energy. The team says their fruit-based material is more efficient than ones typically made from activated carbon. "Using durian and jackfruit purchased from a market, we conver... » read more

System Bits: July 10

Light waves run on silicon-based chips Researchers at the University of Sydney’s Nano Institute and Singapore University of Technology and Design collaborated on manipulating light waves on silicon-based microchips to keep coherent data as it travels thousands of miles on fiber-optic cables. Such waves—whether a tsunami or a photonic packet of information—are known as solitons. The... » read more
