Intel's next-gen desktop CPU Nova Lake won't be pure 18A, it seems... but at least it'll have some 18A compute.

With standard silicon, Intel’s transistor disclosures ... sizes and higher aspect ratios versus traditional chip-to-wafer bonding." Intel's descriptions of this new tech aren't entirely clear ...

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 ...

Among the threats Intel faces today, none is bigger than the possible end to Moore's Law. Moore's Law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, predicts that the number of transistors that can ...

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 ...

The move, part of a long-term plan to focus on core chip-making technology that has seen at least 10 divestitures in the last 2.5 years, will send Intel’s current silicon photonics module ...

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 ...

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 ...
