Elpida Memory, Inc., announced that is has developed its new 90 nm production process for high-performance DRAM products. 90 nm (or 0.09 micron) is the next-generation measurement for silicon wafer ...

A silicon wafer is a thin slice of crystalline silicon typically grown using the Czochralski process, which involves pulling a crystal seed from a molten silicon bath. A silicon wafer is a thin slice ...

Silicon wafers are a fundamental part of the semiconductor business. Every chipmaker needs to buy them in one size or another, such as 200mm, 300mm and others. Silicon wafer vendors produce and sell ...

Imec, perhaps the world's top semiconductor research center, has created the first monolithic III-V CMOS transistors on 300mm silicon wafers. With current silicon-based transistors hitting a wall at ...

For the first time, scientists have created a fully functional memory chip only a few atoms thick and integrated it into ...

Erase those old circuits and you've got some silicon for solar panels. Big Blue hopes the technique will take off with chipmakers. Photos: Reclaiming silicon with water Michael Kanellos is editor at ...

Flexible, modular platform combines advanced plating, photoresist strip, and wet etch to improve fab efficiency and cost of ...

Motorola Labs has developed a way of putting compound semiconductors onto silicon wafers that could slash the cost of RF and optoelectronic devices tenfold Using 6 and 8in wafers made by UK-based IQE, ...

wafer.space has launched its first pooled silicon fabrication run on Crowd Supply, called the GF180MCU Run 1, which enables ...

Leap Photovoltaic is working on a way to build solar panels without the use of silicon wafers, a hard-to-manufacture component that bottlenecks the solar production process. If it works, it could mean ...

Researchers in Saudi Arabia have built a perovskite-silicon tandem cell with textured silicon wafers to offer superior light trapping. The device has an open-circuit voltage of 1,851 mV, a ...
