Looking Beyond 10 nm FinFETs
 
Looking at the next node beyond 10 nm FinFETs, IBM researchers based in Zurich, Switzerland and Yorktown Heights, New York have jointly developed a method called template-assisted selective epitaxy (TASE) to build nanowires and multi-gate transistors from III-V compound semiconductors on top of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. The results of this integration were presented in a paper published in the Journal Applied Physics Letters.

Locating Discontinued ICs for Older Designs
 
Just because an IC or a semiconductor device is discontinued by its original source does not mean that it is lost forever. There are a few semiconductor manufacturers specialized in making discontinued parts. One of them is Lansdale Semiconductor based in Phoenix, Arizona. The other is Rochester Electronics.

Smartphones are Going Modular
 
Like Google's project Ara, Kickstarter-funded startup Nexpaq is also turning a smartphone into a modular product. For that, Nexpaq has developed a modular smartphone case with a built-in MIPI interface to interconnect the add-on modules like an extra battery, amplified speaker, flash drive, laser pointer, and more. The company has raised $279,758 to go into production.

Graphene Enables World's Thinnest Light Bulb
 
Scientists from Columbia Engineering, Seoul National University (SNU), and Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) have jointly created the world's thinnest light bulb. For the first time, the scientists have demonstrated an on-chip visible light source using graphene as a filament. This study was led by Young Duck Kim, a postdoctoral research scientist in James Hone's group at Columbia Engineering.

Battery Charger IC Significantly Cuts Charge Time
 
Texas Instruments has released a new integrated single-cell Li-ion battery-charger IC, that utilizes the company's MaxCharge technology to reduce charge time. According to TI, charger designs based on this chip can reduce charge time by up to 60 percent compared to existing battery chargers. Besides maximizing the benefits of a faster charge time, the device also gives users a safer charging experience.

Flexible, Low-jitter Universal Output Buffers
Integrated Device Technology
 
The 5P1103 and 5P1105 are programmable fanout buffers with universal out­puts and very low additive phase jitter. Configurations can be stored in OTP memory or changed using an I2C interface. The small package and flexible output configuration saves board space, reduces component count, and lowers system cost.

Fairchild Makes Dumb MEMS Smarter
 
After about a decade of technological development, Fairchild Semiconductor is now ready to announce its first smart MEMS product based on technology licensed from Sandia National Laboratories called SUMMiT, which stands for Sandia Ultra Planar Multilevel MEMS Technology. The result is a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) with nine-axis sensor fusion algorithms.

Nano-accordion Structure Creates Stretchable Conductors
 
Researchers from North Carolina State University have created stretchable, transparent conductors using nano-accordion structures. The researchers created a 3D polymer template on a silicon substrate, which was then coated with a layer of aluminum-doped zinc oxide, and an elastic polymer is applied to the zinc oxide. Next, silicon and the template are removed to realize symmetrical zinc oxide ridges on an elastic substrate.

Standard Covers Flexible PCBs
 
This specification, available now from IHS, covers qualification and performance requirements of flexible printed circuit boards. The flexible printed board may be single-sided, double-sided, multilayer, or rigid-flex multilayer. All of these constructions may or may not include stiffeners, plated-through holes, and blind/buried svias. The flexible or rigid-flex printed board may contain build up High Density Interconnect (HDI) layers.
