Samsung’s revelations at Hot Chips include the first successful integration of its PIM-enabled High Bandwidth Memory (HBM-PIM) into a commercialized accelerator system, and broadened PIM applications to embrace DRAM modules and mobile memory.
Researchers Just Developed New High-Performance Flexible Electronics
The manufacturing technique invented by the Stanford team makes it possible to create flexible and atomically thin transistors that are several times smaller than previous efforts.
Wooptix Introduces Wafer Geometry System for 300mm Blank Silicon Wafers
Wooptix SL, a Spanish company dedicated to developing new imaging solutions, has introduced Phemet® lab system, a 300mm blank silicon wafer geometry system collecting millions of topography data points on a full wafer in a few seconds.
While Industry Booms, China Worries Mount
While China’s share of all semiconductor production has shot up, the Americas region has declined, raising alarm bells in Washington. “We see a continuation of this trend, with the Americas dropping by one more percent point next year and China building out its lead.” – SEMI senior principal analyst Christian Dieseldorff.

White Paper: Semiconductor Innovation & Intellectual Property Rights
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.
