A new white paper from Aalbun, the World’s first Intellectual Property Platform as a Service (PaaS), highlights the big themes and issues dominating the semiconductor industry and how they and the events of the pandemic will impact on innovation and intellectual property rights in the sector going forward.
Graphene Solid State Devices: What Does the Future Hold?
The integration of graphene into the semiconductor industry requires a deep understanding of how this material behaves, how to manipulate it in a fabrication environment and how to employ existing processes to maximise the unique properties of graphene.
Be Smart About Smart Manufacturing
Smart Manufacturing concepts and solutions can be both an exciting opportunity and a daunting challenge.
How Chip Technology Will Decipher Brain Diseases
As part of Mission Lucidity, the brain-on-chip project tackles Parkinson’s disease. Central in this endeavor is imec’s high-density multi-electrode array (MEA) that can interface at a single-cell level. With stem cell technology that can reprogram cells, the MEA can create and tweak any relevant brain circuit to study disease mechanisms and the effects of drugs on the circuits.
5 Key Vulnerabilities in the Semiconductor Supply Chain
There’s an ongoing push to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain, but making gains in that area is not as straightforward as some people initially believed. Here are five of the top vulnerabilities for the semiconductor sector to solve.
Automating Mask SEM Analysis Using Digital Twins
Deep Learning can learn features from the SEM images generated using digital twins, then use that learning to find defects on real SEM images.
A Collaborative Approach for Automotive Electronics
Collaboration along the supply chain, focused on common issues that emerge out of the dynamic electronics market and changing automotive ecosystem, will identify and drive improvements in the interest of the whole supply chain.
Mitigation of Pattern Collapse in EUVL
Rinse materials offer benefits of pattern collapse mitigation and defect improvement and, therefore, superior process margins for yield improvement. Defectivity is also significantly improved with an EUV rinse.
Intel 144-Tier Three-deck FG NAND with 161 Total Gates
A new 3D QLC NAND product has just arrived. TechInsights has quickly reviewed the Intel 1Tb QLC die removed from SSD 670p series which use 144L 3D NAND devices.
2021 Electronic Gas Market to Reach $6.25B up 7%+
The total electronic gas market will reach $6.25B for 2021, more than 7% above 2020 revenues. Over the next several years, steady growth is expected thanks to growing demand for chips and fab expansions worldwide.
