07/29/2016 Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign have developed a new method for making brighter and more efficient green light-emitting diodes.
07/28/2016 A new study published in the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology aims to take advantage of sweat's trove of medical information through the development of a sustainable, wearable sensor to detect lactate levels in your perspiration.
07/28/2016 SJ Semiconductor Corp. and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. jointly announced that SJSemi has begun mass production of 14nm wafer bumping for Qualcomm Technologies.
07/27/2016 A team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a novel way to produce two-dimensional nanosheets by separating bulk materials with nontoxic liquid nitrogen.
07/27/2016 Engineers from the University of Utah and the University of Minnesota have discovered that interfacing two particular oxide-based materials makes them highly conductive, a boon for future electronics that could result in much more power-efficient laptops, electric cars and home appliances that also don't need cumbersome power supplies.
07/27/2016 Worldwide silicon wafer area shipments increased during the second quarter 2016 when compared to first quarter 2016 area shipments according to the SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) in its quarterly analysis of the silicon wafer industry.
07/26/2016 University of Illinois researchers have developed a way to etch very tall, narrow finFETs, a type of transistor that forms a tall semiconductor "fin" for the current to travel over. The etching technique addresses many problems in trying to create 3-D devices, typically done now by stacking layers or carving out structures from a thicker semiconductor wafer.
07/26/2016 Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. today announced the promotion of Takaki Murata to vice president and general manager of the high performance analog (HPA) business unit.
07/25/2016 New levels of performance of electronics technology have been enabled by flip-chip technology, fueling the growth of global markets for semiconductors, electronic devices, and a host of industrial and consumer products.
07/25/2016 Applied Materials, Inc. today announced the appointment of Judy Bruner to serve on its Board of Directors. Ms. Bruner has also been appointed to serve as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.
07/22/2016 Worldwide semiconductor capital spending is projected to decline 0.7 percent in 2016, to $64.3 billion, according to Gartner, Inc. This is up from the estimated 2 percent decline in Gartner's previous quarterly forecast.
07/22/2016 Today SEMI announced registration opened for Europe's largest electronics manufacturing exhibition, SEMICON Europa (25-26 October) in Grenoble.
07/10/2014 Technology innovation isnÂ’t slowing down. But its steady acceleration isnÂ’t happening spontaneously, and TuesdayÂ’s Silicon Innovation Forum keynote from Professor of Innovation Dr. Bob Metcalfe outline how he believes to effectively drive the complex cycle that is modern-day innovation.
07/09/2014 Six speakers discussed developments in designing and manufacturing silicon photonics devices in a TechXPOT North session on Wednesday morning.
