For more than a decade, engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer ...

A team of scientists from the Institute for Basic Science has developed a revolutionary technique for producing 1D metallic materials with a width of less than 1 nm by epitaxial growth. Using this ...

This figure depicts the synthesis of metallic 1D mirror twin boundaries through Van der Waals epitaxial growth (top) and the large-area 2D semiconductor integrated circuit constructed based on these ...

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 ...

Gate insulators remain a cornerstone in the evolution of semiconductor devices, playing a critical role in regulating the flow of current while minimising leakage and improving the performance and ...

There's been no greater act of magic in technology than the sleight of hand performed by Moore's Law. Electronic components that once fit in your palm have long gone atomic, vanishing from our world ...

Intel has announced its 22nm 3D Tri-Gate transistors, the world's first on a production technology, and with the potential to create not only smaller chips for smartphones, tablets and other ...

For more than a decade, engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer ...

A recent initial determination at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that claims directed to semiconductor chips with no lower bounds for recited gate pitch and width ranges (e.g ...

Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) serves as the backbone of modern computing, enabling devices ranging from smartphones to high-performance servers. As the demand accelerates for higher density and ...
