In a paper published in the journal Nature Electronics, researchers from EPFL’s School of Engineering in the Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) present a new processor that ...

This figure depicts the synthesis of metallic 1D mirror twin boundaries through Van der Waals epitaxial growth (top) and the large-area 2D semiconductor integrated circuit constructed based on these ...

Texas Instruments' stock is trading down more than 8% so far this month, driving its dividend yield to nearly 3%.

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

The production of semiconductors, also known as chips, has become a strategic priority in Europe as well as the United States, after the shock of the pandemic choked ...

After memory products like NAND Flash and DRAM, it's reported that Samsung Electronics will conduct R&D for a "3D stacking" technology that can vertically stack system semiconductor transistors.

A team of scientists from the Institute for Basic Science has developed a revolutionary technique for producing 1D metallic materials with a width of less than 1 nm by epitaxial growth. Using this ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...

In 1782, Alessandro Volta was the first to use the term "semiconducting" to describe the electrical properties of certain materials. In 1833, Michael Faraday observed that the resistance of silver ...
