Disruptive.Asia comments that a global shortage of semiconductors is expected to last until at least next year, which – along with geopolitical tensions, COVID-19 and other factors – has shone a spotlight on the vulnerability of the world’s semiconductor supply chain.
Making the Shift from Blue to Red for Better LEDs
A new micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED) developed at KAUST can efficiently emit pure red light and may help in the quest to develop full-color displays based on just a single semiconductor.
THz Emission Spectroscopy Reveals Optical Response of GaInN/GaN Multiple Quantum Wells
A team of researchers at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, in collaboration with Bielefeld University and Technical University Braunschweig in Germany, came closer to unraveling the complicated optical response of wide-bandgap semiconductor multiple quantum wells and how atomic-scale lattice vibration can generate free space terahertz emission.
ACM Research Appoints Elad Nadler as Senior Director of Service for North America and Europe
ACM Research, Inc., a supplier of wafer cleaning technologies for advanced semiconductor devices, today announced the appointment of Elad Nadler as Senior Director of Service for North America and Europe.
Worldwide Semiconductor Revenue Grew 10.8% in 2020 to $464 Billion, Growth Will Accelerate This Year Despite Market Shortages, According to IDC
Despite the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, the semiconductor market performed strongly in 2020. Demand by industry was uneven throughout the year due to global lockdowns, remote work and education, and shifts in consumer buying behavior.
In Graphene Process, Resistance Is Useful
A Rice University laboratory has adapted its laser-induced graphene technique to make high-resolution, micron-scale patterns of the conductive material for consumer electronics and other applications.
Physicists Unveil the Condensation of Liquid Light in a Semiconductor One-Atom-Thick
This discovery will help create new types of lasers capable of producing qubits – the main integral parts of quantum computers of the future.
JCET Completes RMB 5 Billion Private Placement with Diversified Investment Structure
JCET Group, a global provider of integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing and technology services, recently announced that the company successfully completed a capital raising of approximately RMB 5 billion.
Towards 2D Memory Technology by Magnetic Graphene
In spintronics, the magnetic moment of electrons (spin) is used to transfer and manipulate information. An ultra-compact 2D spin-logic circuitry could be built from 2D materials that can transport the spin information over long distances and also provide strong spin-polarization of charge current. Experiments by physicists at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) and Colombia University (USA) suggest that magnetic graphene can be the ultimate choice for these 2D spin-logic devices as it efficiently converts charge to spin current and can transfer this strong spin-polarization over long distances.
Quantum-Si Strengthens Board of Directors With Two Key Appointments
Quantum-Si Incorporated, a company pioneering next-generation semiconductor chip-based proteomics, announced today the appointment of Marijn Dekkers, Ph.D. and Ruth Fattori to its Board of Directors.
