Spectrometer Aims to Further Refine Lithography
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands, Sept. 19, 2023 — To improve the quality of microchips and make the chipmaking process more efficient, researchers at the University of Twente’s MESA+ Institute of Nanotechnology developed an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) broadband imaging spectrometer. The new...
On-Chip Laser Light Generates Spectrum of Colors
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 16, 2020 — National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Maryland researchers demonstrated the ability to convert invisible near-infrared laser light into multiple visible colors, using newly introduced microchip technology. The...
ASML GainsMinority Stake in Zeiss for EUV Development
VELDHOVEN, Netherlands, Nov. 10, 2016 — Semiconductor supplier ASML Holding NV has announced an acquisition agreement to acquire a 24.9 percent minority stake in optics developer Carl Zeiss AG’s subsidiary Carl Zeiss SMT, for which ASML will pay Zeiss €1 billion ($1.09 billion)...
Plasma’s potential for photolithography pursued
SEATTLE – Work over the past decade to harness the energy-generating mechanism of the sun has yielded bright high-energy light needed to etch smaller microchips. The microchip industry now uses 193-nm UV light, which cannot etch circuits any smaller than...
Plasma’s Potential for Photolithography Pursued
SEATTLE, July 3, 2012 — Fusion energy work over the past decade to harness the energy-generating mechanism of the sun has now yielded bright high-energy light needed to etch smaller microchips.
HB-LED driver integrated circuits: High rise
UPPER LAKE, Calif. – The global consumption value of high-brightness (HB) LED driver integrated circuits in selected lighting applications is expected to rise to $3.88 billion in 2016, up from $891.62 million in 2009, with an average annual growth rate of 23.4 percent,...
Cluster to boost silicon photonics transfer
Oct 1, 2010 — A number of European research and development project consortia have clustered to facilitate the transfer of silicon photonics technology from the research stage to industrial development. The 10 projects – called Boom, Historic, Helios,...
‘Spintronics’ Breakthrough Promising for Computers
LAWRENCE, Kan. Aug, 27, 2010 — Using powerful lasers, researchers have now discovered a way to recognize currents of spinning electrons within a semiconductor. The discovery, dubbed “spintronics,” could lead the way to development of superior computers and...
INRS Develops Microring Resonator
QUEBEC CITY, Feb. 11, 2010 – A new, more efficient low-cost microring resonator for high-speed telecommunications systems has been developed and tested by Professor Roberto Morandotti’s INRS team in collaboration with Canadian, American and Australian researchers. This...
How green is your widget?
Jun 1, 2009 — It takes far more energy to make microchips than to make manhole covers per kilogram of product, according to a recent study by a group from MIT in Cambridge. It seems that, the smaller the widget, the more energy it takes throughout the...
Light Colors Shrink Chips
BOULDER, Colo., April 20, 2009 – A University of Colorado at Boulder team used both blue and UV light to reduce the size of devices such as computer chips and solar cells. The blue light inscribed the circuitry pattern on a substrate, while the UV light "erased" the pattern edges,...
Light Bent the 'Wrong' Way
PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 15, 2007 -- A new, easy-to-produce material created from semiconductors refracts light negatively, bending the waves in the opposite direction from that taken by all materials found in nature. This unique ability may contribute to significant advances in areas...
100K Dpi Printing Unveiled
ZURICH, Switzerland, Sept. 11, 2007 -- A new technique allows the printing of particles as small as 60 nanometers -- roughly 100 times smaller than a human red blood cell -- in complex patterns at a resolution of 100,000 dots per inch. The level of control offered by the nanoprinting...
Obstacle to Mass-Producing Microchips Removed
PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 18, 2007 -- By eliminating tiny air bubbles that form when liquid droplets are molded into intricate circuits, researchers said they are dissolving a sizable obstacle to mass-producing smaller, cheaper microchips. A team at Princeton University led by...
$100M Raised to Manufacture Plastic Semiconductors
CAMBRIDGE, England, Jan. 11, 2006 -- Plastic Logic announced last week that it has raised $100 million to fund construction of the first factory to manufacture semiconductors out of plastic instead of silicon. The facility will produce flexible active-matrix display modules for use in...
Brain on a Chip May be Closer to Reality
Mar 29, 2006 — STANFORD, Calif., March 29, 2006 -- Microchips that function like the brain or that "see" like eyes were once thought to be in the same futuristic category as flying cars and robot housekeepers. But at least one researcher thinks such "neuromorphic"...
Daily News Briefs
Nov 10, 2003 — Harvard University Professor George McClelland Whitesides is a recipient of the 19th annual Kyoto Prize in advanced technology, for pioneering a technique of organic molecular self-assembly and its applications in the field of nanomaterials science....
Daily News Briefs
Oct 17, 2003 — Micralyne Inc., an Edmonton, Alberta-based developer and OEM manufacturer of BioMEMS and other MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) components, said it will increase its work with MicroCHIPS Inc., of Bedford, Mass., on developing MicroCHIPS' drug...
