13 April, 2016Participants in the electronics supply chain will convene at SEMICON Southeast Asia from 26–28 April to explore new opportunities and technology.
Building smaller computer chips with DNA 'origami'
23 March, 2016The key to faster, cheaper computer chips could be inside your brain — literally. Researchers are harnessing DNA and using techniques similar to origami to make nanoscale structures that could shrink component sizes.
Semiconductors remain export powerhouse for US
26 February, 2016 by Falan Yinug, Director, Industry Statistics and Economic PolicySemiconductors continue to be a massive export product for the United States, according to recently released government export statistics for 2015, fuelling US jobs, economic growth and innovation.
Smart living
08 January, 2016 by Xavier Baraton*The smart city is built on awareness and (some elements of) real-time control of all of the critical functions and infrastructure of the city. With smart systems in smart cities, we can do more with less.
Organic semiconductors get weird at the edges
07 October, 2015A new finding could lead to the next generation of cheaper, more efficient electronic devices.
BluGlass receives foundry order
23 September, 2015BluGlass, an Australian clean tech company in the semiconductor industry, has received an order for $300,000 of foundry development from one of its key specialised epitaxy (foundry) customers.
Boron-doping of graphene nanoribbons
31 August, 2015Researchers have succeeded in synthesising boron-doped graphene nanoribbons and characterising their structural, electronic and chemical properties.
Breakthrough in thin-film magnetism
17 August, 2015Researchers have discovered an unusual magnetic effect in nanolayers of an oxide of lanthanum and manganese (LaMnO3). They have revealed an abrupt magnetic transition brought about by the slightest change in thickness of the layer.
Making a better semiconductor
03 July, 2015Scientists have developed a method to change the electronic properties of materials in a way that will more easily allow an electrical current to pass through.
Wafer-scale quantum devices closer to reality
29 June, 2015Researchers have made a crucial step towards nuclear spintronic technologies. They have gotten nuclear spins to line themselves up in a consistent, controllable way, and they have done it using a high-performance material that is convenient and inexpensive.
Black phosphorus reveals its secrets
04 June, 2015Researchers from Université de Montréal, Polytechnique Montréal and the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France have succeeded in preventing two-dimensional layers of black phosphorus from oxidising.
Researchers create optically active quantum dots in 2D semiconductors
07 May, 2015Researchers at the University of Rochester have shown that defects on an atomically thin semiconductor can produce light-emitting quantum dots.
Veeco to evaluate BluGlass's RPCVD p-GaN
22 April, 2015Veeco Instruments has proposed to evaluate BluGlass's RPCVD p-GaN for LED and power electronic applications, following BluGlass's recent announcement of its improved performance data.
Antennas on a chip
10 April, 2015 by Gehan AmaratungaUniversity of Cambridge researchers have unravelled one of the mysteries of electromagnetism, which could enable the design of antennas small enough to be integrated into an electronic chip.
