The shift from planar SoCs to 3D-ICs and advanced packages requires much thinner wafers in order to improve performance and reduce power, reducing the distance that signals need to travel and the ...

TechPowerUp, citing Intel’s engineering manager Pankaj Marria, reports that initial 18A wafers are already rolling out from the Arizona plant. The progress, according to ijiwei and Commercial Times, ...

Another interesting trend according to Fischer is the increased market share of rectangular wafers both in the 182mm size (M10R) and 210 mm size (G12R). “This is interesting to see, especially ...

But the test wafers suggest that Intel is on pace, or maybe even a bit ahead of schedule, for producing 1.8nm-class chips in the middle of this year. If Intel can prove wrong the rumors about it ...

The former Newport Wafer Fab (NWF) facility in South Wales is getting £250 million ($323 million) to start making silicon carbide semiconductors, a year after the sale of the site was approved by UK ...

Semiconductor manufacturing is a highly complex and precise process with numerous steps involved in creating integrated circuits on silicon wafers. Defects can occur at any stage of this process, from ...

I write about house tours (but I love a good kitchen and kids' room article). My work can be found across AT Media, including The Kitchn and Cubby. I’ve been writing about home-related topics for ...
