Once considered merely insulating, a change in the angle between silicon and oxygen atoms opens a pathway for electrical charge to flow. A breakthrough discovery from the University of Michigan has ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to ...

BE Semiconductor Industries is a provider of advanced semiconductor assembly equipment. Click here to find out why I rate ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, ...

Utilizing IR PiFM, researchers can accurately analyze contaminants and defects under 20 nm, enhancing surface ...

From the perspectives of the energy band theory, the bond order-length-strength correlation, the local-bond-averaging approach, and the core–shell configuration for nanostructures, we have reconciled ...

Oxynitride semiconductors are considered to be promising candidates for solar water splitting. In this work, we show that oxygen-rich SrTaO2N has a band gap with direct–indirect character through twin ...

Semiconductor processing is notoriously challenging. It is one of the most intricate feats of modern engineering due to the ...

NXP Semiconductor hasn't enjoyed a great couple of years, witnessing price expansion of just mid-single digits. Click here to ...

Reflections from a recent panel discussion at DAC, The Chips to Systems Conference held at Moscone West on the CHIPS Act's impact on the design ecosystem ...

Defects can show up in the clock trees that drive scan chains, and even inside blocks of scan cells, which may number in the millions. Jayant D’Souza, technical product director for yield learning ...
