It used to be rare that the semiconductor industry made the news, as Thomas Caulfield, CEO of GlobalFoundries, said on Monday. Caulfield was addressing an assembly of industry partners and political dignitaries including Senator Charles Schumer of New York and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. “Every day now we’re in the news, not about what we did but what we […]
inspectAR uses a smartphone or a webcam. No AR glasses required. inspectAR is an electronics productivity tool uniquely adapted to lab bench work. By separating a circuit board layout into an AR object consisting of nets and components, anyone who works on a circuit board physically can instantly connect to the expertise of the PCB […]
Historians will probably spend decades picking apart the consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic. But the shortage of chips that it’s caused will be long over by then. A variety of analysts agree that the most problematic shortages will begin to ease in the third or fourth quarter of 2021, though it could take much of […]
This white paper explores the essential principles of crosstalk and what you can do to reduce it in your PCB designs.
They say data is the new oil. If so, maybe advanced chip foundries are the new nukes. Ten years from now, “superpower status is going to be defined by the ability to make semiconductors,” says Bharat Kapoor, lead partner, Americas, in the high-tech practice of global strategy and management consulting firm, Kearney. South Korea’s announcement earlier […]
According to old-school physics, plasma shouldn’t form in an electrified air gap smaller than about 5 micrometers. But it does. Nanoscale science still has some surprises in store, including a plasma-based device that engineers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have now confirmed switches faster than anything we know of. In fact, they still don’t really […]
With a cocktail of carbon-based inks, engineers have made the first fully printable and recyclable electronic circuits on paper. The sturdy, high-performance devices last for months, and can be decomposed at the end to recover the carbon materials so they can be reused for printing. The recyclable carbon electronics are not meant to supplant silicon, […]
Intel and IBM—two of the titans of the U.S. semiconductor industry over the last 40 years—have joined forces to advance next-generation logic and packaging technologies. This new partnership comes as a bit of a surprise to anyone who has observed the U.S. semiconductor industry over the last four decades and witnessed the rivalry between the […]
