Rice University scientists have taken an important step toward the creation of two-dimensional electronics with a process to make patterns in atom-thick layers that combine a conductor and an insulator.
The sun's energy is virtually limitless, but harnessing its electricity with today's single-crystal silicon solar cells is extremely expensive — 10 times pricier than coal, according to some estimates. Organic solar cells — polymer solar cells that use organic materials to absorb light and convert it into electricity — could be a solution, but current designs suffer because polymers have less-than-optimal electrical properties.
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. ("STATS ChipPAC") (SGX: S24) today announced implementation of breakthrough performance and packaging innovation in multiple advanced chipsets for the rapidly developing smartphone market in China. Spreadtrum Communications, a leading fabless semiconductor provider in China, has adopted STATS ChipPAC's packaging innovations for a number of its mobile chipsets.
Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Wafer Packaging Fabs Database
The Nanotechnology Platform Project is a project which was commissioned by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) with the aim of producing research results that will lead to innovations, in which 25 research institutions with leading-edge nanotechnology facilities and equipment in the three fields of Microstructural Characterization, Nanofabrication, and Molecule & Material Synthesis will provide opportunities for researchers in industry, academia, and government agencies throughout Japan to use those facilities.
The Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), headquartered in Shanghai, China, have purchased multiple systems for photomask verification, repair and metrology from Carl Zeiss Semiconductor Metrology Systems (SMS) Division (www.zeiss.com/sms), a leading supplier of both photomask metrology and manufacturing equipment. SMIC will apply the tools as economic solutions for their mask services.
Faraday Technology Corporation, a leading ASIC and silicon IP provider, and United Microelectronics Corporation, a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced that they have produced customer system-on-chip (SoC) ICs with a density of over 300 million gates.
Veeco Instruments Inc. announced today that the University of Waterloo, located at the heart of Canada’s technology hub, has purchased a GEN10® Molecular Beam Epitaxy system for its recently opened Quantum-Nano Centre (QNC) hosting the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC). The system will be installed in the new MBE laboratory being established by Professor Zbig Wasilewski, Endowed Nanotechnology Chair at WIN.
Three University of California, Riverside scientists and engineers are members of a new national research center — the Center for Spintronic Materials, Interfaces, and Novel Architectures (C-SPIN) — focused on developing the next generation of microelectronics. Led by the University of Minnesota, C-SPIN is being supported by a five-year $28 million grant, about $3 million of which is allocated to UC Riverside.
In developing these novel self-assembling materials, postdoc Barbara Capone has focused on the design of organic and inorganic building blocks, which are robust and can be produced at large scale. Capone has put forward, together with her colleagues at the Universities of Vienna and Mainz, a completely new pathway for the construction of building blocks at the nanoscale.
