As downward scaling of transistors continues, optimizing power consumption for mobile devices is a major concern. Power consumption consists of two components: dynamic and static. Dynamic (active) ...
Rapid development of portable systems like laptops, PDAs, digital wrist watches, implantable pacemakers and cell phones require low power consumption and high density ICs, and that leads to a surge of ...
Understanding the power consumption of a chip design prior to its fabrication is no longer an option; it is a requirement. For engineering teams designing chips for the mobile market, the modeling and ...
As the industry advances into the angstrom era, gate-all-around architectures combined with atomic-scale materials engineering provide a sustainable path forward. The demands of AI and edge computing ...
The invention of the transistor was a significant breakthrough that altered the course of history for the electronics and computer industries. They are an inseparable part of any electronic device ...
(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF have succeeded in developing a novel type of transistor with extremely high cut-off frequencies: metal oxide ...
DRAM makes up the bulk of non-volatile memory in computer systems. Much has been done lately to mix non-volatile storage with DRAM. However, DRAM’s performance and capacity still win out when it comes ...
The new transistors (above) have vertical current-carrying channels. In older designs (inset), the channels lie flat under the gates. In an effort to keep squeezing more components onto silicon chips, ...
In one of the biggest advancements in fundamental transistor design, Intel Corporation revealed that it is using two dramatically new materials to build the insulating walls and switching gates of its ...
