Dec 25, 2024 · The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced a Section 301 investigation on Christmas Eve to examine China’s targeting of foundational semiconductors (also known as legacy or mature node chips) for dominance and the impact on the US economy.

Nov 5, 2024 · The consortium is in the final phase of the procurement process leading to contract signature expected by the end of the year. The contract is estimated to be between €6 and €12 billion over 12 years, with €2.4bn from the EU from 2022 to 2027.

Nov 20, 2024 · The Open Innovation Platform (OIP) meeting in the Netherlands this week showed that the 2nm process will be in production in 2025 following early tapeouts this year, with a variant called N2P nanoFlex with the option for short standard cells for smaller area and greater power efficiency or tall cells for more performance.. This will give a 12% boost in energy efficiency over the base 2nm ...

Nov 12, 2024 · The SPINUS project is developing quantum simulators with more than 50 qubits and quantum computers with over ten qubits, the team expects that their research will provide a strategy to scale up to over 1000 and 100 qubits, respectively, within five years post-project.

Oct 12, 2024 · SOM builds on cross-point memory architectures, where memory are made from arrays of stacked electrodes crossing over one another. Phase-change memory and RRAM arrays both use this approach, which conventionally requires a selector transistor or diode such as a germanium-selenide ovonic threshold switch (OTS).

Nov 28, 2024 · Molex is predicting an uptick in reliable, durable, high-speed interconnects over the next 12-to-18 months as the impact of generative artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud developments and implementation intensifies across every sector, including data centers, automotive, consumer electronics and medical technology.
