Imec solution for EUV patterning

By

Imec has a patterning  solution for a 42nm-pitch M1 layer and a 32nm-pitch M2 layer in logic design compatible with the foundry N5 requirements. The approach includes two scenarios for EUVL insertion that, when combined with an array of scaling boosters, serve as a basis of the industry requirements for power, performance, area and cost. …

Gou serious about Tosh

By

Foxconn is, apparently, quite serious about buying Toshiba Semiconductor. Having taken over Sharp, and currently in the process of building display factories in China, Foxconn boss Terry Gou sees the chance of doing the same thing with memory. In fact Foxconn sees Toshiba’s memory business as an opportunity to bring together display and memory fabrication …

Operators may say No to 5G

By

  Mobile network operators may not be investing in 5G anytime soon, it was revealed in Barcelona yesterday. “I don’t see 5G becoming reality very soon because 4G hasn’t yet to be penetrated at a meaningful level, it hasn’t been scaled,” said Mike Fries CEO of Liberty Global owner of Virgin Media speaking at MWC, …

Improved electrolyte blocks lithium-metal cell dendrites

By

Adding a small amount of lithium hexafluorophosphate to a iTFSI–LiBOB dual-salt carbonate solvent-based electrolyte can make rechargeable lithium-metal batteries more stable, charge quickly and have a high voltage, cliams the US government’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). “A good lithium-metal battery will have the same lifespan as the lithium-ion batteries that power today’s electric cars …

EUV may not be ready for 7nm

By

Intel’s EUV manager told this week’s SPIE Advanced Lithography Conference that EUV may not be ready for 7nm. Dr. Britt Turkoff pointed to a number of potential show-stoppers. The old bug-bear of light-source power is still with us with 250W needed and not much more than 150W attainable. Photoresist and pellicles are also in need …

Micro-fluidics could open the door to graphene opto-electronics

By

Microfluidics is a viable route to making graphene-based opto-electronics, claims the University of Exeter. The aim is to exploit flakes of graphene and other 2D materials suspended in microfluidic structures which can be coupled to CMOS photonic circuits. The fluids in the micro-channels are liquid crystals, which can be controlled to physically hold optically-active graphene …
