The semiconductor industry has relied on a simple equation for more than five decades — shrink the transistor, pack more onto every wafer, and watch performance soar as costs plummet. While each new ...

While CMOS may be synonymous with the manufacture of silicon ICs, it’s a versatile process can also be applied to the production of photonic and microwave circuits employing compound semiconductors.

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

The venerable Stephen Woodward recently published the design idea (DI) “Flip ON flop OFF” that converts a momentary push button to a classic push-on, push-off switch. Figure 1 is an attempt to go ...

Finnish quantum startup SemiQon has raised €17.5 million ($18.3m) to support the development of cryogenic CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) technology. Of the funds raised, €15m ($15.7m) ...

From large TSVs for MEMS to nanoTSVs for backside power delivery, cost-effective process flows for these interconnects are essential for making 2.5D and 3D packages more feasible. Through-silicon vias ...

Abstract: One of the most popular circuit topologies in VLSI systems is dynamic CMOS. The performance of such a circuit depends predominantly on its transistor sizes. In this paper, the problem of ...
