Advanced Micro Devices has brewed two new advanced transistor designs that it says will lead to higher chip performance. The chipmaker's researchers have created and demonstrated a new Fully Depleted ...

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...

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 ...

If you have designed blocks in submicron technologies you realize that supply voltages make circuit designs difficult. In the newer technologies, the supply voltage continues to shrink. So how does an ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The seamless integration of electronic devices with living tissue remains one of the most significant challenges in bioelectronics. Traditional electronic components are rigid and ...

Amorphous oxide semiconductors like IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) offer acceptable carrier mobility with very low leakage.

IBM and Samsung have announced their latest advance in semiconductor design: a new way to stack transistors vertically on a chip (instead of lying flat on the surface of the semiconductor). The new ...

Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s largest industrial laboratories and now part of Lucent Technologies, was originally the research and development arm of the giant telephone company American ...

More and more transistors per chip. There's simply no way around it as long as there's a need to create faster and smaller systems that consume less power. This will provide more gates for ASICs and ...
