The often-quoted Moore 's Law says that we can expect processors to double in capacity every 18 months. And that has held true. Now computer scientists warn that - without some significant ...
Advanced Micro Devices has created new high-performance transistors in its labs based on the simple concept that sometimes two are better than one. The chipmaker said Tuesday it has manufactured in ...
New technical paper titled “Improving stability in two-dimensional transistors with amorphous gate oxides by Fermi-level tuning” from researchers at Institute for Microelectronics, TU Wien, AMO GmbH, ...
At an event today in San Francisco, Intel announced one of the most important pieces of semiconductor news in many years: the company’s upcoming 22nm processors will feature a fundamental change to ...
Three years ago, I wrote a blog entitled “Linking Virtual Wafer Fabrication Modeling with Device-level TCAD Simulation,” in which I described the seamless connection between the SEMulator3D virtual ...
Looks like 3D isn't just a fad, folks, so long as we're talking about silicon -- Intel just announced that it has invented a 3D "Tri-Gate" transistor that will allow the company to keep shrinking ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the workload that defines today’s semiconductor scaling. Whether in hyperscale data centers training foundation models or at the network edge executing ...
Almost every chip being taped out today is mixed-signal in nature. In addition to increased integration of analog and RF blocks, designers are using complex power-management techniques to minimize ...
