Finishing up on the topic of CMOS bus logic I am going to show a couple of families with unique properties that may come in handy one day. First up is a CMOS logic family AHC/AHCT that has one of the ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...

Two years after IBM created the world's first 7 nanometer chip, the company said it has now developed a breakthrough process to build an even more densely-packed chip at 5nm. The chip will pack 30 ...

IBM, working with Samsung and GlobalFoundries, has unveiled the world’s first 5nm silicon chip. Beyond the usual power, performance, and density improvement from moving to smaller transistors, the 5nm ...

The advanced semiconductor material gallium nitride will likely be key for the next generation of high-speed communication systems and the power electronics needed for state-of-the-art data centers.

The concept behind an integrated chip is relatively simple: an entire electrical circuit with numerous transistors, wires, and other electrical devices all built into a single square of silicon. These ...

A GDSII layout viewer from Micro Magic Inc. claims to provide instantaneous viewing at any zoom level of chips with up to 1 trillion transistors. And the price is right — through June 2008, it's free ...

Big Blue is working on a new type of transistor it says will vastly increase performance and reduce power consumption of chips in the coming decade. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET ...
