I was browsing through the advance program for the upcoming IEDM conference when, almost at the end, I came across paper number 34.4, "Modeling of NMOS Performance Gains from Edge Dislocation Stress," by Weber et al. of Intel. According to…
Intel clarifies 32nm NMOS stress mechanism at IEDM 2011
I was browsing through the advance program for the upcoming IEDM conference when, almost at the end, I came across paper number 34.4, "Modeling of NMOS Performance Gains from Edge Dislocation Stress," by Weber et al. of Intel. According to…
Organic Processors Offer Microwatt Applications
Printing low power-low performance microprocessors onto organic materials will open a wide range of cost effective alternatives to silicon-based embedded devices, but resolution remains a problem.
GLOBALFOUNDRIES Takes a Different Approach to HKMG in AMD’s Llano CPU/GPU
After much anticipation, and with quite a few design wins, AMD’s Llano CPU/GPU chip arrived on the scene a couple of months ago. Fabricated by GlobalFoundries (more easily known as GloFo) in their 32nm SHP process, it was the first…

A SEMICON West snippet: AMAT launches new products, prepares for 450mm
SEMICON West is usually taken as a barometer for the industry, and my subjective impression is steaming along nicely, but no record breaking years coming up! According to Tom Morrow of SEMI, this year’s preregistrations were flat, but there about…
