It sat inside of a big box whose job was to take silicon wafers in on one side and spit out integrated circuits on the other. [BrendaEM] never really divulges how she got her hands on something so ...

Silicon wafers are a fundamental part of the semiconductor business. Every chipmaker needs to buy them in one size or another, such as 200mm, 300mm and others. Silicon wafer vendors produce and sell ...

For that reason, the direct epitaxial growth of high-quality III-V optical gain materials selectively on large-size silicon photonics wafers remains a highly sought-after objective. The large ...

MILPITAS, Calif. — May 2, 2023 — Worldwide silicon wafer shipments slipped 9.0% quarter-over-quarter to 3,265 million square inches in the first quarter of 2023 and 11.3% from the 3,679 million square ...

MILPITAS, Calif. — February 7, 2024 — Worldwide silicon wafer shipments in 2023 decreased 14.3% to 12,602 million square inches while wafer revenue contracted 10.9% to $12.3 billion over the same ...

Imec has demonstrated electrically-driven GaAs-based multi-quantum-well nano-ridge laser diodes fully, monolithically fabricated on 300 mm silicon wafers in its CMOS pilot prototyping line. Achieving ...
