Lithography has limitations, particularly given its surface processing nature. The researchers from LP3 Laboratory, France, developed a light-based technique for local material processing anywhere in the 3-D space of semiconductor chips.…

Land Rover and Wolfspeed announced a strategic partnership to supply Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors for next generation EVs, specifically for powertrain efficiency and extended driving range. Jaguar Land Rover intends to become carbon…

GaN is hot. There’s a dramatic interest in and collaboration on Galium Nitride (GaN) use in automotive apps. KYOCERA AVX and VisIC announced the expansion of their partnership to provide high-current components for such high-voltage apps as…

There is a desperate shortage of engineers. Purdue’s Engineering Professor Zhihong Chen is proactively attempting to solve the dilemma. The semiconductor industry is at a crossroads. On the one hand, the Chips and Science Act provides…

Okay, so it's still early in the discussion phase. Still, it looks like the US is trying to expand the restrictions on semiconductors to include other emerging technologies, such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The goal is…

The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a team at the University of Arkansas a $10.3 million grant to build the first Energy Frontier Researcher Center in Arkansas, U.S.A. The research facility, to be named the Center for Manipulation of…

President Biden was clear—U.S. companies accepting funding under the CHIPS Act will be barred from building leading-edge advanced fabrication facilities in China for 10 years. The government is providing $50 billion under the act.…

For the first time, researchers showed that a cubic boron arsenide crystal offers high carrier mobility for both electrons and holes – the two ways a charge is carried in a semiconducting material. This is a significant advance for…

AP Memory Technology announced a successful demonstration of Very High-bandwidth Memory (VHM), a 3D integration of DRAM and logic chips. The combined chip features effective memory bandwidth of more than 10x that of HBM, and a memory…

Whether it’s helping with infection containment, reducing emergency response times or delivering health care to rural areas, telehealth has become invaluable during these challenging times. This white paper explores the evolving…
