Lattice Materials, a Montana-based manufacturer specializing in custom-grown silicon and germanium crystals and part of The Partner Companies (TPC), has received an $18.5 million award from the U.S.

Bozeman, Montana-based Lattice Materials said that it will use an $18.5 million Pentagon award last month under the Defense Production Act to produce ...

Researchers show that nanometre-thin germanium on silicon enables high charge mobility, supporting energy-efficient operation ...

(Nanowerk News) Over the past 70 years, the number of transistors on a chip has doubled approximately every two years – according to Moore’s Law, which is still valid today. The circuits have become ...

In a recent study published in the journal Small, an international team of researchers led by the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) examined both the advantages and production methods of ...

A five-year project led by the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a novel approach to space electronics that could change how space vehicles and instruments are designed. The new ...

Our current chip technology is largely based on silicon -- even though different materials such as silicon-germanium would have decisive advantages. The problem is that it is very hard to create clean ...

The integration of silicon‐germanium technology in photonic devices has transformed optoelectronics, enabling the realisation of high‐speed, high‐sensitivity detectors that are central to modern ...

FRANKFURT. The latest generations of computer chips are only a few nanometres in size and are becoming ever more energy-saving and powerful as a result of progressive miniaturisation. Since the ...

We’ve covered the Tiny Tapeout project a few times on these pages, and while getting your digital IC design out there onto actual silicon for a low cost is super cool, it is still somewhat limited.
