‘Tsunami’ On a Silicon Chip: A World First For Light Waves
A tsunami holds its wave shape over very long distances across the ocean, retaining its power and ‘information’ far from its source. In communications science, retaining information in an optic fibre that spans continents is vital. Ideally, this requires the manipulation of light in silicon chips at the source and reception end of the fibre without altering the wave shape of the photonic packet of information. Doing so has eluded…
Global Semiconductor Sales Decrease 14.6 Percent Year-to-Year in May
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced worldwide sales of semiconductors were $33.1 billion in May 2019, a decrease of 14.6 percent from the May 2018 total of $38.7 billion and 1.9 percent more than the April 2019 total of $32.5 billion. Monthly sales are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average. SIA represents U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, design, and research. “Global semiconductor sales fell well short last year’s monthly total in May,…
