China is expanding its IC capabilities at all costs, and the “game” is playing out internationally. The stakes are high for all involved, especially China and the U.S. Addressing what it views as a significant threat, the U.S. government…

It's no wonder, with all of the sanctions on technology export to a handful of countries, that there will be several examples of criminal activities. Here's one of them. A couple from Montreal and a man from Brooklyn, New York, were…

Canon recently announced an innovative approach to the production of cutting-edge semiconductor components. Its new “nanoimprint lithography” system is a response to ASML in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine sector. ASML’s…

Graphene has remarkable properties, especially when you stack up multiple sheets. Should those sheets be twisted at specific angles relative to each other, they exhibit a plethora of exotic identities. These materials, known as moiré…

Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits (IC) for energy-efficient power conversion, and SnapMagic, a company that's redefining how electronics are designed by streamlining the design flow, today…

Intel 4 technology is here. Intel's Fab 34 in Leixlip, Ireland, is the first location to use extreme ultraviolet (EUV) in high-volume manufacturing (HVM) in Europe. The technology enables such future products as Intel® Core Ultra processors…

Researchers at Duke University and Purdue University managed the arrangement of multiple inorganic and organic layers in crystals with a novel technique, controlling energy levels of electrons and holes within perovskites. The tuning…

The automotive industry has faced significant challenges due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on semiconductor chip availability, causing widespread disruptions across the sector and the global economy. However, as we approach…

There's a barrier preventing truly elastic electronic systems needed for advanced human-machine interfaces, artificial skin, smart health care, and more. A Penn State-led research team found a way to stretch around it. Fully elastic…

Microchips must become smaller, faster, and energy efficient to keep pace with the ever-larger and more complex data sets to store, search, and analyze. Ferroelectric field effect transistors (FE-FETs) are a potential solution. FE-FETs…
