A new forecast published today predicts dramatic growth in the semiconductor market supporting small cells, from $90M in 2012 to more than $650M in 2017. In particular, semiconductors supporting carrier-grade small cells (excluding consumer and enterprise femtocells) will ramp from practically zero revenue in 2012 to a staggering $500M in 2017.
On the heels of winning a purchase order for multiple SlurryScope™ systems from a major Asian IC production fab, Vantage Technology today confirmed another multiple-system order from a world class semiconductor manufacturer with wafer fab operations spanning three continents.
Denton Vacuum LLC, a leading global supplier of production scale thin film technology systems, today announced it has shipped and qualified two Integrity® e-beam evaporation systems for a major power semiconductor manufacturer based in North America.
Hematite, the mineral form of iron oxide (or trivially, rust), is a promising anode material for photoelectro-chemical cells (PEC) because of its affordability, availability, high stability and good spectral match to the solar spectrum. Although it has the potential of a 15% solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion efficiency, its actual efficiency is lower than that of other metal oxides. This is due to hematite's electronic structure, which only allows for ultrashort electron-hole excited-state lifetimes.
SiTime Corporation, an analog semiconductor company that is revolutionizing the timing market, today introduced the SiT3907 MEMS-based Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCXO). The SiT3907 DCXO is radically different than analog, quartz-based VCXOs as it offers an in-system digital control interface that is used for tuning the output frequency.
iWatt Inc., a leading provider of digital-centric power management integrated circuits (ICs), has raised the bar for no-load standby power consumption and efficiency in 12W to 24W power adapter and charger applications with the iW1761 and iW1762 digital pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers.
Fujitsu Semiconductor Asia Pte Ltd (FSAL) has demonstrated the transmission of >100Gbps over a single CEI-28G-VSR channel, effectively quadrupling the data rate throughput defined by the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) for this chip-to-chip electrical interface. This serves as a benchmark for what can be achieved over short-reach electrical channels using the same field-proven CMOS converter technology deployed in long-haul optical transport systems today.
United Microelectronics Corporation ("UMC"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced that it has qualified the foundry industry's first high voltage (HV) embedded flash (eFlash) process that incorporates a true 12-volt solution.
Newport Corporation, a worldwide leader in laser and photonic solutions that Make, Manage and Measure Light®, introduces CONEX-LDS, an ultra-compact, high-precision electronic autocollimator.
ATMI, Inc. has announced plans to further increase its commitment to the Asia-Pacific microelectronics markets, and South Korea customers in particular, through a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to be built in JangAn, Gyeonggi province.
