If you have designed blocks in submicron technologies you realize that supply voltages make circuit designs difficult. In the newer technologies, the supply voltage continues to shrink. So how does an ...

A research group at Vienna University of Technology has invented a new form of transistor that has the potential to change the manufacturing of fabbing chips. The group developed a new adaptive ...

'Radical' computing chip bounces electrons around. Computer designers at the US University of Rochester are going ballistic over a "radical" transistor design which they claim will revolutionise ...

The CPUs of the future could use far fewer transistors as a team of researchers have developed a new, adaptive transistor design capable of changing its configuration on the fly. With these new ...

Intel announces a major technical breakthrough and historic innovation in microprocessors: the world's first 3-D transistors, called Tri-Gate, in a production technology. The transition to 3-D ...

At Hot Chips, CEO Pat Gelsinger said Intel has everything it needs to put a trillion transistors in a package by 2030. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said that it will take more than smaller, cheaper ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The seamless integration of electronic devices with living tissue remains one of the most significant challenges in bioelectronics. Traditional electronic components are rigid and ...

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...

IBM and Samsung have announced their latest advance in semiconductor design: a new way to stack transistors vertically on a chip (instead of lying flat on the surface of the semiconductor). The new ...
