Crystalline quartz films grown on four-inch silicon wafers detect Chikungunya virus at sensitivities surpassing standard ...

Every wafer test touch-down requires a balance between a good electrical contact and preventing damage to the wafer and probe card. Done wrong, it can ruin a wafer and the customized probe card and ...

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 ...

Unable to scale horizontally, due to a combination of lithography delays and power constraints, manufacturers are stacking devices vertically. This has become essential as the proliferation of mobile ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a new method for making 5-cm (2-in) wafers of diamond that could be used for quantum memory. The ultra-high purity of the diamond allows it to store a staggering ...

The AI startup Cerebras has shown that a single wafer-scale Cerebras CS-1 can outperform one of the fastest supercomputers in the US by more than 200 times for physics simulations and many AI ...

We initiate coverage on Soitec SOI with a EUR 190 fair value estimate and narrow moat rating supported by intangible assets. Shares currently trade at EUR 140, offering a 35% upside. Chips are ...

The long-held skepticism around wafer-scale architectures is deep and goes back decades. Few have tried and all have failed, either for business or technology reasons, including the venerable Gene ...

TSMC introduced "Wafer Manufacturing 2.0" in July 2024, integrating packaging, testing, and photomask production into its portfolio. This move underscores a seismic shift in the advanced packaging ...

Cerebras Systems and the federal Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory today announced that the company’s CS-1 system is more than 10,000 times faster than a graphics processing ...
