Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

Electronic engineers at Japan's GNC and AIST research centers have successfully created graphene transistors that are constructed and operated in a way that redefines 50 years of transistor ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss chip scaling, transistors, new architectures, and packaging with Jerry Chen, head of global business development for manufacturing & industrials at Nvidia ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers at Purdue University have created a "unified model" for predicting the reliability of new designs for silicon transistors - a potential tool that industry could use ...

The next big miniaturization step in microelectronics could soon become possible -- with so-called two-dimensional materials. With the help of a novel insulator made of calcium fluoride, scientists ...

We had the opportunity to interview TSMC's Kevin Zhang, the deputy co-COO and SVP at TSMC, to discuss the latest trends in the semiconductor industry and how they impact TSMC's strategy moving forward ...

Researchers at many companies have proposed a host of different transistor structures that can deliver high performance as dimensions shrink to 60 nm and below. At June's Symposium on VLSI Technology ...

Research is underway to develop a new type of logic device, called non-volatile logic (NVL), based on ferroelectric FETs. FeFETs have been a topic of high interest at recent industry conferences, but ...

Looking at today's digital ASIC and system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs, one could be forgiven for thinking that front-end design engineers and back-end layout designers would make great examples in the ...
