Could Samsung be the first big defection from ARM since the SoftBank takeover? It was always thought that, when ARM relinquished its independence, its customers would look around for other alternatives. The nice thing about RISC-V is that it’s independent, open source and royalty-free. And RISC-V is what Samsung is reported to be using for …

French research labs Leti and Inac have demonstrated a quantum-dot-based spin qubit using a CMOS process on a 300mm FDSoI wafer. The device, developed with the University of Grenoble Alpes, consists of a two-gate, p-type transistor with an un-doped channel. See University of Sussex quantum gate “Our one-qubit demonstrator brings CMOS technology closer to the emerging …

TSMC is going to introduce a half-node process at 12nm, reports Digitimes. The 12nm process will have better leakage and be lower cost than 16nm. It is being reported that the half-node process is a competitive response to the 14nm processes of Samsung and GloFo. However GloFo announced. 12nm FD-SOI last month. “In a world …
