06/08/2017  Imec is wrapping up at the Symposia on VLSI Technology this week with two announcements: the reporting of record breaking values below 10^-9 Ohm.cm² for PMOS source/drain contact resistivity and new process improvements for next generation devices.

06/08/2017  Total IoT forecast scaled back mostly because of lower revenue projections for connected cities.

06/07/2017  Double-digit annual growth projected for 2017.

06/07/2017  Imec has proved the validity of ferroelectric memory as a promising technology at various points in the memory hierarchy, and as a new technology for storage class memory -- today, it demonstrated the world's first a vertically stacked ferroelectric Al doped HfO2 device for NAND applications.

06/07/2017  The future of contamination control in the next-generation supply chain for beyond 14nm-node semiconductor processes faces stringent challenges.
