EV Group Establishes Heterogenous Integration Competence Center
EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that it has established the Heterogeneous Integration Competence Center™, which is designed to assist customers in leveraging EVG’s process solutions and expertise to enable new and enhanced products and applications driven by advances in system integration and packaging.
Scientists Succeed in Measuring Electron Spin Qubit Without Demolishing It
A group of scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have succeeded in taking repeated measurements of the spin of an electron in a silicon quantum dot (QD), without changing the spin in the process. This type of “non-demolition” measurement is important for creating quantum computers that are fault tolerant.
Unique Material Could Unlock New Functionality in Semiconductors
If new and promising semiconductor materials are to make it into our phones, computers, and other increasingly capable electronics, researchers must obtain greater control over how those materials function. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers detailed how they designed and synthesized a unique material with controllable capabilities that make it very promising for future electronics.
Picosun Delivers Multiple Production ALD Systems to Asia for Solid State Lighting Device Manufacturing
Picosun Group, Finland-based, global provider of advanced Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) thin film coating solutions, has been chosen by a major Asian customer to deliver significant ALD production capacity for manufacturing of solid state lighting devices.
Stress-Relief Substrate Helps OLED Stretch Two-Dimensionally?
Highly functional and free-form displays are critical components to complete the technological prowess of wearable electronics, robotics, and human-machine interfaces. A KAIST team created stretchable OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) that are compliant and maintain their performance under high-strain deformation. Their stress-relief substrates have a unique structure and utilize pillar arrays to reduce the stress on the active areas of devices when strain is applied.
