Researchers began working on 3D integrated circuits almost two decades ago. In the first efforts, each stack, which contained a device layer and multiple interconnect layers, was fabricated separately ...

As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. It may surprise you that the microchip that we all know and love today was far from an obvious idea. Some of the paths that were being explored back then to ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising material platform for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) an miniaturized solid -state quantum systems. In the ALP -4 -SiC project—Atomic Layer Processing for SiC ...

Developing economies do not have to invest billions of dollars in state-of-the-art fabs to get into the semiconductor industry, according to Sadeg Faris, chairman and chief executive officer of Reveo ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

Since 1972, scientists have known there are four basic circuit components, but if you’ve spent any time in an electrical engineering classroom, you probably only have experience with three: capacitor, ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute and the Fraunhofer Institute demonstrate how atomic layer processing can enhance the optical performance of photonic devices made of SiC. The teams from both ...
