Austin, Texas – The shift to metal gate electrodes may need to take place in tandem with the introduction of high-k insulators, Motorola Inc. researchers will argue this week. The team will make its ...

The ASIC and Foundry Business Unit at Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced that European ASIC and system-on-chip (SoC) customers can now take advantage of eFUSE (electrical programmable fuse ...

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...

Since its inception, BCD technology has leveraged the integration of two primary technologies—polysilicon gate CMOS and DMOS power architecture—on the same chip. Its compatibility with bipolar ...

Low dropout (LDO) regulators play a very important role in the power management of an integrated circuit. As a result, mindful designing and selection of LDO circuits become crucial. This article ...

I was testing a circuit and found many discrepancies from the paper design I used to create it. The dynamics of the circuit were a bit unexpected, andthe noise level was much larger than required. I ...

A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is a fundamental building block of modern electronics. It is a field-effect transistor (FET) where the voltage applied to a terminal (gate) ...
