Scientists have coaxed life to do something it has never done before: bond silicon to carbon. You're probably already familiar with a few products products that use carbon-silicon, or ...

A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses ...

“The introduction of through-silicon vias in many current applications requires a very controlled thinning process, and because you almost always have to do backside processing, the process ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

The transmitter chip consists of four hybrid silicon lasers operating at wavelengths of 1351, 1331, 1311 and 1291 nm. These four lasers are fabricated by bonding a layer of indium phosphide to the ...

Aluminum nitride (AlN) and silicon carbide (SiC) are both high-performance engineering ceramic materials, but there is a ...
