- Hertz-linewidth and frequency-agile photonic integrated extended-DBR lasers. (ar... Recent advances in the development of ultra-low loss silicon nitride (Si3N4)-based photonic integrated circuits have allowed integrated lasers to achieve a coherence exceeding those of fiber lasers and enabled unprecedentedly fast (Megahertz bandwidth) tuning using monolithically integrated piezoelectrical actuators. While this marks the first time that fiber laser coherence is...
- April chip sales down 21.6% y-o-y April IC sales were $40 billion, says the SIA, up 0.3% m-o-m and down 21.6% y-o-y. The WSTS industry forecast projects annual global sales will decrease 10.3% in 2023 and then rebound with growth of 11.9% in 2023. “The global semiconductor market remains in a cyclical downturn, exacerbated by sluggish...

- Japan IC strategy looking to triple sales to $108bn by 2030 Today Japan has come out with its semiconductor strategy which sees the country tripling its chip sales to $108 billion by 2030. “Various investments are being made by Japanese chip-related companies including smaller ones, and we’d like to back up these investments,” said economy minister Yasutoshi Nishimura this morning, “we...
- Design Considerations for Embedded NVM in High-Radiation Applications Radiation can impact the operation of non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies, with the potential to cause permanent damage to semiconductor devices used in high-radiation environments. Selecting the right embedded NVM is critical for devices in these environments, including aerospace and medical devices. ...
- Ten questions early-stage founders should be asking investors While it might seem daunting to question potential investors, remember that you need to build a mutual zone of trust for the long journey. Ten questions early-stage founders should be asking investors by Walter Thompson originally published on TechCrunch...
- GloFo and ST finalise fab agreement GlobalFoundries and ST have completed the agreement to create a new, jointly-operated, high-volume semiconductor manufacturing facility in Crolles (France), which was announced on 11 July 2022. “I would like to thank Minister Le Maire, the French Minister of the Economy and Finance, and his team for their support and the...
- Producing 2D materials with a KISS The set-up for kinetic in situ single-layer synthesis (KISS). The bulk material is placed on a sample holder with a spring to regulate the impact (yellow arrow). It is then pressed against the gold crystal (the slightly brighter ring below the blue arrow). After release, a 2D layer will be...
