With the invention of the first LED featuring a red color, it seemed only a matter of time before LEDs would appear with other colors. Indeed, soon green and other …read more Continue reading Shuji Nakamura: The Man Who Gave Us the Blue LED Despite All Odds
Building things in a lab is easy, at least when compared to scaling up for mass production. That’s why there are so many articles about fusion being right around the …read more Continue reading The Geometry of Transistors
How many terminals does a MOSFET have? Trick question since most have three leads, even though there are really four connections to the underlying device. It isn’t a conspiracy, though …read more Continue reading MOSFETs — the Big Lie
Scientists have found what they think may be the fastest known semiconductor. Sounds great, right? But it happens to made from one of the rarest elements: rhenium. That rare element …read more Continue reading Fastest Semiconductor May Also be Most Expensive
NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are in the spotlight in the proposed deal. The global competition for semiconductor chips makes investment in innovation a priority for the UK. Continue reading UK Putting £100m Toward AI Chips
Most of us are content to get our semiconductors from the usual sources, happily abstracting away the complexity locked within those little epoxy blobs. But eventually, you might get the …read more Continue reading Start Your Semiconductor Fab with This DIY Tube Furnace
Remember that time when the entire physics community dropped what it was doing to replicate the extraordinary claim that a room-temperature semiconductor had been discovered? We sure do, and if …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: August 13, 2023
The vast majority of semiconductors products we use every day are primarily constructed on a silicon process, using wafers of pure silicon. But whilst the economics are known, and processes …read more Continue reading Watch Out SiC, Diamond Power Semiconductors Are Coming For You!
Despite the increasing popularity of various electric vehicles, the limits of battery technology continue to be a bottleneck in their day-to-day use. They don’t behave well in extreme temperatures, they …read more Continue reading Wireless Charging on a Massive Scale
Chip makers should apply a mix of onshoring, nearshoring and friendshoring as they look to diversify and move manufacturing out of the Asia/Pacific region, according to Deloitte.
