1 天前 · University of California San Diego and French lab CEA-Leti have got together to create a novel high-voltage drive for electrostatic and piezoelectric actuators in mini-drones, describing the technique at ISSCC in San Francisco this week. The aim …

2 天之前 · Fabricated in a 0.18μm BCD process, the active circuity covers 1.08mm 2 and extracted up to 2.72mW from the hybrid generator. End-to-end efficiency peaked at 90%. In another paper, Korean research organisation KAIST describes a piezoelectric energy harvester that uses techniques to optimise the amount of extracted power as mechanical input excitation and output load vary.

2 天之前 · In Q4 2024, installed wafer fab capacity was a record 42 million wafers per quarter (in 300mm wafer equivalent), and capacity is projected to reach nearly 42.7 million wpq in Q1 2025, according to a joint report from SEMI and TechInsights. After declining in …

17 小时之前 · The award still needs sign-off from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The fab is already receiving support under the EC’s IPCEI ME/CT (“Important Project of Common European Interest on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies”) innovation program.

13 小时之前 · For those written in the last week, our most read stories on the site cover the building of Taiwan’s chip industry, the Honda Nissan merger, Intel selling Altera to Silverlake, an ISSCC overview of next-gen high-performance CPUs, and a …

Hamamatsu has launched a family of InGaAs photodiodes with sensitivity across 0.9 to 2.6μm and with a choice of sensitive areas. “The G1719x series are near-infrared sensors offering high sensitivity and low dark current, comparable to conventional metal packages, while featuring a surface-mounted ceramic design compatible with lead-free re …

5 天之前 · The remark followed President Trump’s remark that Taiwan “stole our chip industry.” Wu said: “Taiwan has invested half a century of hard work to achieve today’s success, and it certainly wasn’t something taken easily from other countries.”. The historical record is that, in 1976, RCA sold a licence to Taiwan’s ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute) for a 7-micron CMOS ...

2024年3月4日 · “I’m confident the United States can become the home to the entire silicon supply chain for the production of these leading-edge chips — from polysilicon production to wafer manufacturing to fabrication to advanced packaging,” says Raimondo, “this is not ‘build a few new fabs and call it a day.’
