Just as circuit metallization must evolve to manage resistance as features shrink, so must the dielectric half of the interconnect stack. For quite some time, manufacturers have needed a dielectric ...

In the field of semiconductor fabrication, high-k dielectrics represent a class of materials with a dielectric constant significantly higher than traditional silicon dioxide. These materials are ...

The invention of the transistor was a significant breakthrough that altered the course of history for the electronics and computer industries. They are an inseparable part of any electronic device ...

A new technical paper titled “Gate dielectrics for transistors based on two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors” was published by researchers at University of Cambridge. “This ...

While one group of companies is hard at work developing new high-k dielectrics, another group is working to come up with semiconductor etching and cleaning chemistries that complement these exotic new ...

One evening quite a few years ago, as I was driving through my hometown I saw the telltale flashing lights of the local volunteer fire department ahead. I passed by a side road where all the activity ...
