The majority of computer chips are made of transistors, which unlike capacitors can't store energy; they merely act like "on/off" switches, either letting an electric current through or stopping it.

In a major step forward for future electronics, scientists in China have created a new type of high-performance semiconductor ...

The global semiconductor industry has always been cyclical in nature, but the COVID-19 pandemic turned an expected down-cycle into a drawn-out shortage that has impacted industries ranging from ...

University of Missouri researchers have devised a more efficient and precise method for manufacturing computer chips.

Researchers at the Jülich Research Center and the Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics (IHP) have developed a material that has never existed before: a stable alloy of carbon, silicon, ...

The new, more stable transistor could be the answer to a looming problem that faces computer chip makers: how to continue to improve technology at a rate that matches Moore's Law.

Computer chips, containing hundreds and often thousands of individual electrical circuits, are manufactured on thin wafers of silicon. Silicon is the world's best-known semiconductor.

Chou calls the mechanical technique laser-assisted direct imprint or LADI. He says it could allow electronics manufacturers to increase the density of transistors on computer chips by 100-fold.
