It sat inside of a big box whose job was to take silicon wafers in on one side and spit out integrated circuits on the other. [BrendaEM] never really divulges how she got her hands on something so ...

Bernardette Kunert, scientific director at imec, commented, “Over the past years, imec has pioneered nano-ridge engineering, a technique that builds on SAG and ART to grow low-defectivity III-V ...

The chip starts out as a thin wafer of P-type silicon. This is then coated with a layer of silicon dioxide -- kind of a silicon rust, which doesn't conduct electricity. On top of this is placed a ...

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 ...

All of the constituent components of a photonic data transmission system built on electronics-compatible silicon wafers — including laser sources, modulators, detectors, waveguides and filters ...

Micromachining silicon with lasers (but no sharks)! Today we're exploring different properties and parameters involved with cutting silicon with a pulsed nanosecond laser World's oldest woman who ...

Although die thickness is currently the primary challenge, semiconductor companies are exploring silicon wafer thicknesses below 50 µm, potentially reaching the capability of blade dicing. Issues such ...

A new way to make ultra-thin diamond wafers using sticky tape could help produce diamond-based electronics, which might one day be a useful alternative to silicon-based designs. Diamond has ...

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have built a perovskite-silicon tandem cell with textured silicon wafers to offer superior light trapping. The device has an open-circuit voltage of 1,851 mV ...

Longi, meanwhile, has raised its wafer prices by more than 15%. CNMIA‘s silicon branch has reported that polysilicon prices rose after the Chinese lunar year and will likely remain at current ...
