This diagram shows the standard layout of transistors in cell phone power amplifiers, at left, and a new highly efficient amplifier design, at right. The new design could help make possible ...

A GDSII layout viewer from Micro Magic Inc. claims to provide instantaneous viewing at any zoom level of chips with up to 1 trillion transistors. And the price is right — through June 2008, it's free ...

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation announces the publication of a textbook designed to provide power system design engineers basic technical and application-focused information on how to design ...

IBM and Samsung have announced their latest advance in semiconductor design: a new way to stack transistors vertically on a chip (instead of lying flat on the surface of the semiconductor). The new ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The seamless integration of electronic devices with living tissue remains one of the most significant challenges in bioelectronics. Traditional electronic components are rigid and ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs exhibit higher blocking voltage, lower on state resistance and higher thermal conductivity than their silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs are designed and essentially ...

Complicated and expensive technologies are being planned all the way to 2030, but it’s not clear how far the scaling roadmap will really go. Despite a slowdown in chip scaling amid soaring costs, the ...
