The semiconductor industry faces mounting challenges as the development of next-generation chips pushes against fundamental physical limits. In response, Cadenc ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s largest industrial laboratories and now part of Lucent Technologies, was originally the research and development arm of the giant telephone company American ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

Are your environmental test results exposing true device weaknesses, or just reflecting extreme stress conditions?

For almost two decades, scientists have been trying to move beyond silicon, the material ...

In the vast reaches of the semiconductor cosmos, a silent menace lurks—one that can obliterate years of design work in a fraction of a nanosecond. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) verification stands as ...
