Incredible! At the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center they have successfully developed a self-destructing microchip. What enables this awesome, spy movie-esque explosion is the fact that the chip is created using strained Gorilla Glass, essentially Gorilla Glass that is just waiting to break. Currently they are using laser light to trigger a special self-destruct resistor…
A team in the US has developed a (relatively) simple way to execute 2D lithography in semiconductor manufacturing that stands to usher in a new era of electronics. What they are doing is using nano-meter thick MoSe2 crystal semiconductors and coating them with a protective silicon layer. The silicon layer provides the design for the semiconductor,…
After 13 years of working on their NRAM technology, Nantero has received another bit of funding to (hopefully) bring their innovation to market. What they are looking to accomplish is a commercial nanotechnology that will allow for more efficient storage of memory in the increasingly smaller gadgets of today. So far they have licensed their…
The Semiconductor Industry Association gives us an insight into the true potential of the semiconductor market and it’s place in the US economy. The above chart shows the value added by many industries that are key contributors to the economy, and as you can see, since 1987 semiconductors have been on a steady path of increasing…
