Researchers have developed advanced terahertz photodetectors containing 'living' microelectrodes. A vanadium dioxide (VO2) layer was precisely deposited on a silicon substrate. Temperature regulation ...

As great as silicon is for semiconductor applications, it has one weakness in that using it for lasers isn’t very practical. Never say never though, as it turns out that you can now grow ...

Soitec's photonics wafers are used for data center optical interconnections as higher communication speeds are needed. Soitec's manufacturing technology seems to be the only efficient and reliable way ...

Researchers at Osaka University in Suita, Japan, have devised a novel way to improve the performance of electronic devices. The study, published in ACS Applied Electronic ...

Sumco Corporation faces financial struggles with falling revenue, rising debt levels, and geopolitical risks, making it a ...

Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium ... crop up along a diagonal line between conductors and insulators. Noble gases such as helium and neon are poor ...

Global Wafers is constructing the first U.S. 300mm silicon wafer plant in Texas and a Silicon-on-Insulator wafer plant in Missouri. A bigger concern is whether Taiwanese firms can compete with U.S ...

"By fine tuning the first step of the silicon wafer passivation, we could induce the nucleation of these nanoislands," says Dong-Jik Kim, a scientist in Dubourdieu's team. These domains can be ...

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) and US-based artificial intelligence (AI) chip designer Nvidia Corp have partnered with each other on silicon photonics development, Nvidia founder ...
