Innovative approach reveals surprising semiconductor properties Innovative approach reveals surprising semiconductor properties - Cheersonic In combination with a new type of thin oxide film, a research team studying the properties of semiconductors has observed a surprising new source of electrical conductivity from oxygen atoms trapped inside. Scott Chambers, a materials scientist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, reported the team's findings at the 2022 Spring [...]

Outlook For Silicon Photonics Outlook for Silicon Photonics – Ultrasonic Sprayer – Cheersonic With the emergence of new data center applications such as artificial intelligence, the data interconnection market based on silicon photonics technology for data centers is also gradually heating up. March is a very lively month for silicon photonics technology. AMD/Xilinx just announced that it has cooperated with Ranovus to release a system that integrates Versal [...]

2D Semiconductor Prospects Are Mixed Researchers are working on a variety of new materials for future process nodes, but progress remains slow. In recent years, two-dimensional semiconductors have emerged as a major potential solution to the problem of channel control in high-dimensional transistors. As the device shrinks, the channel thickness should scale down. Otherwise, the gate capacitance will not be sufficient to control the flow of current. Unfortunately, [...]

Transistors Need A Change Transistors Need A Change – Membrane Coating Machine - Cheersonic The semiconductor industry is making its first major change to a new transistor type in more than a decade, moving toward a next-generation structure called gate-all-around (GAA) FETs. Although GAA transistors have yet to ship, many industry experts wonder how long the technology will be delivered -- and the new architecture that will take [...]
