A recent initial determination at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that claims directed to semiconductor chips with no lower bounds for recited gate pitch and width ranges (e.g ...

There are a range of integrated circuits that most of us would regard as definitive examples of their type, devices which became the go-to for a particular function and which have entered our ...

A chip is also referred to as a microcircuit, microchip, and integrated circuit (integrated circuit, IC). refers to tiny silicon chips called integrated circuits, which are frequently found in ...

The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips – circuits that carry out a range of calculations using photons, ...

Forming circuits involves the use of cylindrical pieces of semiconductor material. These cylinders are sliced into thin, circular pieces known as bare wafers. The bare wafers are then oxidized before ...

The Computer History Museum is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the integrated circuit, pictured above, with a multimedia exhibit called “The Silicon Engine” to explain why many claim the IC as one ...

A group of South Korean researchers has successfully developed an integrated quantum circuit chip using photons (light particles). This achievement is expected to enhance the global competitiveness of ...
