Industry confronts porous dielectrics...again
Dec 01 -- The semiconductor industry’s last attempt to integrate porous dielectrics ended in a retreat to simpler solutions....
 
Interconnect: Future nodes look beyond copper
Oct 01 -- Although copper interconnects have become essential to the continuation of Moore’s Law, they too have limits....
 
Silicon remains a contender in flexible electronics
Sep 01 -- As discussed in “High interest in low-end printable electronics” (SST, July 07, p. 34), a number of flexible electronics researchers are focusing on organic semiconductors, and in particular on ink-jet and other printing technologies....
 
High interest in low-end printable electronics
Jul 01 -- Discussions of Moore’s Law usually focus on the fastest microprocessors and the highest memory densities....
 
New technologies promise lower costs, new markets for thin film photovoltaics
May 01 -- As the semiconductor industry enters its fifth decade, one of its greatest advantages over other technology-driven fields is infrastructure....
 
Re-enabling Moore’s Law with re-engineered gate stacks
Apr 01 -- Advanced transistors: Last of three partsAfter years of struggling to delay the inevitable, it is clear that a replacement for the traditional oxide/polysilicon gate stack is needed, and sooner rather than later....
 
Stretching silicon mobility with strain engineering
Mar 01 -- For years, semiconductor manufacturers depended on a happy coincidence: smaller transistors are less expensive to manufacture and also deliver better performance....
 
Turning to an old friend, device engineers are reconsidering germanium
Feb 01 -- Yhe limitations of silicon are becoming more evident. Since the 90nm technology node, manufacturers have used silicon germanium (SiGe) source and drain regions, silicon carbide (SiC) liners, and other methods to strain the silicon channel....
 
Patterning neurons-on-chip devices using microcontact printing
Dec 01 -- Growing neurons on a chip surface holds great promise for brain research. Recently, a printing technique was developed that allows alignment and combination of different chemical patterns on a chip surface, which can be used to control the position of the neuron on top of the transducers....
