When merging optical functions, one may need to provide for the continuous propagation of light across a portion of the chip from one structure to another. To minimize or eliminate any trade-offs in ...

A new microscale gas chromatography system integrates all fluidic components into a single chip for the first time. The design leverages three Knudsen pumps that move gas molecules using heat ...

Optoelectronic devices, such as infrared sensors and LED displays, are the backbone of modern technologies, from medical imaging to smartphone screens. Traditionally, integrating these devices with ...

Monolithic 3D integrated circuits represent a transformative approach to semiconductor design, where successive layers of devices are fabricated directly on top of one another using low-temperature ...

A new technical paper titled “Monolithically Integrated Optical Through-Silicon Waveguides for 3D Chip-to-Chip Photonic Interconnects” was published by researchers at the Technical University of ...

The monolithic integration of GaN power transistors has the potential to improve electrical performance in many applications by allowing for improved die size optimization and providing lower ...

—The development of a process flow capable of demonstrating functionality of a monolithic complementary FET (CFET) transistor architecture is complex due to the need to vertically separate nMOS and ...

Last month, in response to my post The Other Side of the Integration Coin, reader TheMeasurementBlues asked if we could consider discrete op-amp or data converter devices as opposed to ICs. My first ...

A pressure-mechanical integrated synaptic device inspired by human skin mechanoreceptors and synapses that recognizes different touch patterns for discrete affective state classification. Human ...
