Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of material that’s been receiving significant attention as a possible successor of silicon. Recently, a team of researchers has demonstrated the use ...
Washington, D.C. &#151 Intel Corp. faced off against the alliance of Advanced Micro Devices and IBM on the stage of the International Electron Devices Meeting here Tuesday (Dec. 6th), presenting 65-nm ...
Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses charge localization and works at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) The ability ...
Moore’s Law has been the guiding principle for the semiconductor industry for more than fifty years. For thirty of those years, I have had the privilege of working in Intel’s technology development ...
When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...
The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...
Tokyo, December 14, 2006 -- Toshiba Corporation, Sony Corporation and NEC Electronics Corporation today announced the successful co-development of an LSI mass production platform for next-generation ...
Since CMOS has been around for about 50 years, a comprehensive history would be a book. This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have ...
Advanced Micro Devices is combing through the scientific cookbook in its quest to boost the performance of chips that will hit the market in the second half of the decade. Michael Kanellos is editor ...
