For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

Semiconductor equipment corporations Applied Materials announced two new manufacturing systems on the 14th to form the minute ...

While transistors see continuous improvement, wires keep getting worse because of the smaller geometries and larger chip ...

Device scaling in advanced CMOS nodes is becoming more difficult due to patterning limitations and complex 3-D transistor integration schemes. This also makes the devices more sensitive to patterning ...
