Case study: Master Bond Epoxy bonds a silicon wafer to glass in microelectronics fabrication

Samsung has utilized groundbreaking manufacturing techniques to pack an impressive 280 layers of memory cells into each chip, thanks to its innovative double stack design and Channel...

See how this Italian startup recovers valuable materials without toxic chemicals

This minuscule chip packs 256GB of storage into a single die using WD's cutting-edge 8th-generation BiCS 3D NAND tech developed jointly with partner Kioxia. The manufacturing technology...

Goldene is the latest 2D material to be made since graphene was first created in 2004.

Intel has formally announced Meteor Lake, the 14th-gen mobile Core chip for laptops. Intel's new mobile processor includes integrated AI and low-power optimizations, but not a huge performance leap.

Images of nanoscale structures inside living cells are in increasing demand for the insights into cellular structure and function that they can reveal. So far, the tools for capturing such images have been limited, but researchers led by Takeshi Fukuma and Takehiko Ichikawa at Kanazawa University have now devised and reported a full protocol for using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to image inside living cells. The…

That's one way to fall down the ChatGPT rabbit hole.

Buried features and re-entrant geometries drive application-specific metrology solutions.

After the watershed October 7 export controls hobbled China's advanced semiconductor industry, China is striking back.

Technology and business issues mean it won't replace EUV, but photonics, biotech and other markets provide plenty of room for growth.

Nvidia's cuLitho platform speeds up mask design for lithography by 40x.

In late January 2023, the Biden administration's diplomatic gamble paid off when the United States secured a deal with both the Netherlands and Japan to join in the semiconductor export controls.

Seawater, which comprises more than 95% of the Earth's water, could become a key resource in the sustainable production of clean hydrogen fuel with use of water-splitting catalysts developed by a KAUST-led team.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting presents a promising way to convert solar energy into storable and transportable hydrogen energy. Among investigated semiconducting materials, BiVO4 is considered as an intriguing photoanode candidate, due to its low theoretical onset potential and relatively high photocurrent. Regarding its poor electronic conductivity, Mo doping is demonstrated as an effective strategy…

Russian institute plans to build 7nm-capable scanner that beats ASML's analogue in several years.

Microprocessors are shaping up to be the crude oil of the 21st century..

After nearly six decades of getting smaller, faster, cooler, and cheaper, transistors are getting more and more expensive with each generation, and one

One ubiquitous microprocessor of the late 1970s and 1980s was the MOS Technology MCS 6502. I included a section on the development of the 6502 in Part 2 of Supply Chain Games, and have posted it as an excerpt here, as I believe it is deserving...

But as tools and processes advance, there's still room for breakthrough technologies.
