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…

Resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs) are used in high-frequency oscillators, wave emitters and detectors, logic gates, photodetectors, and optoelectronic circuits. Marcio Daldin Teodoro, a professor in the Physics Department of the Federal…

Electronic components in many devices are based on micro-structured silicon carriers, which have almost reached their physical limits and smallest possible structure sizes. Two-dimensional materials such as graphene, an atomically thin…

Nexperia has announced new leadless ESD protection devices for CAN-FD applications. Devices are available in leadless packages with side-wettable flanks that enable AOI tools to be used. Fully AEC-Q101-qualified, the PESD2CANFDx series…
