SEMI-MEMS & Sensors Industry Group (MSIG) welcomed a global group of industry executives to its 14th annual MEMS & Sensors Executive Congress (MSEC), October 29-30, 2018 in Napa, Calif. MEMS and sensors represent a robust sector of the electronic industry.
Autonomous Mobility and the New Age of Sensor Fusion
Marcellino Gemelli, director of global business development at Bosch Sensortec, will present at the upcoming MEMS & Sensors Executive Congress on October 29-30, 2018 in Napa, Calif. SEMI’s Maria Vetrano caught up with Gemelli to give MSEC attendees a preview of Gemelli’s feature presentation.
IBM’s Jeff Welser to Keynote The ConFab 2019
AI was a big focus on The ConFab and 2018 and we will continue that theme in 2019 with a keynote talk by IBM’s Jeff Welser.
Sensors in the New Age of the Car
Sensors are inextricably linked to the future requirements of partially and fully autonomous vehicles.
Process Watch: Automotive Defect Sensitivity Requirements
By David W. Price, Douglas G. Sutherland, Jay Rathert, John McCormack and Barry Saville Author’s Note: The Process Watch series explores key concepts about process control—defect inspection, metrology and data analytics—for the semiconductor industry. This article is the third in…
Ruthenium Nanolayers are Ferromagnetic at RT
Researchers from Intel Corporation and the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin have shown that strained atom-scale films of pure ruthenium (Ru) metal exhibit ferromagnetism at room temperature, openning up the possibility of using the material to build…
When Will Self-Driving Cars Become a Reality?
Self-driving cars have been all the rage in both the trade and popular press in recent years. I prefer the term “autonomous vehicles,” which more broadly captures the possibilities, encompassing not only small passenger vehicles but mass transit and industrial vehicles as well.
MEMS Fabrication: Growth-Enabler or Industry Roadblock?
The MEMS industry has huge growth potential. Will MEMS fabrication act as a bottleneck to continued expansion or a critical conduit to achieving that potential?
AI and MEMS Sensors: A Critical Pairing
How can consumer-product manufacturers tap the built-in capabilities of MEMS inertial sensors — which are already ubiquitous in end-user devices — to make the most of AI?
What’s Next for Smart Speakers? Smarter Microphones
Smart speakers and voice assistants are already a big part of everyday life for many of us. Improvement in speech recognition accuracy obtained from advancements in natural language processing, machine learning and cloud computing technologies is driving the success of voice assistants.
