For nearly two decades, two‑dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy‑efficient ...

CDimension’s technology, which enables semiconductor makers to manufacture arrays of extremely small, fast, and efficient “2D” transistors, has the potential to change what’s possible for both digital ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside ...

Major processes in semiconductor wafer fabrication: 1) wafer preparation, 2) pattern transfer, 3) doping, 4) deposition, 5) etching, and 6) packaging. The process of creating semiconductors can be ...

Transistor announcements aren't the sexiest occasions on the block, but Intel's 22nm SoC unveil is important for a host of reasons. As process nodes shrink and more components move on-die, the ...

For decades, chipmakers kept Moore’s Law alive by shrinking transistors sideways, etching ever-finer features into flat slabs ...

When an unexpected drop in yield happens, for instance, the cause must be traced to either the source of trace metals, ...
