Yesterday was Intel research day where Intel showed off a wide range of research projects that aim to keep the company healthy in the near to long term. In the Computational Lithography demo area, ...

Intel has successfully manufactured silicon transistors at a new microscopic level. The transistors measure just 20 nanometres in size and were created using a manufacturing technique called Extreme ...

AMD AND IBM DETAIL EARLY RESULTS USING IMMERSION AND ULTRA LOW-K IN 45NM CHIPS -- Advanced technologies provide improved performance and efficiency while reducing complexity in microprocessor design ...

For designers working on the next generation of microprocessors, Moore's Law is becoming Moore's Curse. Moore's Law--the observation by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that the number of transistors on ...

A novel chip-making strategy forged by IBM researchers could break through previous constraints, allowing semiconductor makers to use their same basic tools to continue shrinking chip features. If the ...

The company is unveiling an entirely new design for the silicon and metal vehicles that connect the microprocessor to the rest of the computer. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, ...

Intel on Monday is unveiling an entirely new design for the silicon and metal vehicles that connect the microprocessor to the rest of the computer. That may sound arcane, but the oft-overlooked art of ...

Cost- and power consumption-sensitive digital signal processing applications tend to leverage fixed point processors, for a common fundamental reason: fixed-point processor cores are substantially ...

How Does EUV Lithography Work? EUV Lithography is a state-of-the-art technology in chip manufacturing that uses highly energetic ultraviolet light to carve detailed patterns onto semiconductor ...

TSMC is planning to adopt double patterning extensively at 20nm, despite the high cost of doing so. Why? Because EUV hasn't come through. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in ...
