Ferroelectric Devices Forge Ahead

At IEDM 2021 the new star of the emerging memory firmament was ferroelectric memories, either in 1T/1C (FeRAM) or 1T (FeFET) structures.

Advancing the Future of Semiconductor Manufacturing

Manufacturing innovation can be achieved through greater capacity utilization, component reliability, and process control.

AI, Cameras and Your Smartphone: Computing at the Edge and On the Go

An AI-powered camera using a dedicated co-processor chip with innovative deep learning algorithms can deliver a vision-based solution with unmatched performance, power efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and scalability.

Survey: Understanding the Data-Centric Era

The Data-Centric Era is here. It demands highly flexible, high bandwidth and secure infrastructure to meet the demands of highly variable, large and diverse data. Composable infrastructure provides the flexibility, bandwidth and efficiency to meet that demand.

Enabling Glass in a 300mm Si Line for Layer Transfer

Challenges and associated solutions in using glass in a standard 300mm Si fab are discussed. We demonstrate that functionalized glass wafers can pass all the requirements to enter a Si fab to enable layer transfer of RF components.

Materials to Systems in Semiconductor Manufacturing and Beyond

Materials engineering — the ability to manipulate materials at an atomic level and on an industrial scale — continues to be the primary driver of innovation in the semiconductor and electronics industries. The same fundamental capability is of critical importance to multiple other industries ranging from life sciences, pharma, sustainable energy, engineered optics and displays.

How Integrated Materials Solutions Speed Innovation

New solutions that rely on a unified database, machine learning and simulations are able to test, validate and provide customer insights into how materials work for new devices process flows, thereby speeding innovation.

Outlook for 2022: Executive Viewpoints

Each year, Semiconductor Digest turns to industry leaders and analysts to get their viewpoints on what they expect to see in the coming year in terms of critical tech and business trends. For 2022, in addition to ongoing technical advances, expect to see a focus on supply chain challenges, sustainability, the workforce shortage and reshoring.

SEMI Market Forecast: “Remarkable” Growth

At a press conference on Tuesday during SEMICON, Ajit Manocha, SEMI’s President and CEO, provided a preview of the 2022 SEMI market forecast due to be released next week.

How to Increase Fab Efficiency: Look into the Future

What if you could see 60 days into the future? Alex Smith, a VP at Edwards Vacuum, sees a day when that’s possible – at least when it comes to certain areas of fab operations.
