You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

Years ago, Tektronix could not justify an expensive, high-performance semiconductor operation solely for producing competition-defeating ICs for oscilloscopes, and formed a joint venture with Maxim ...

What Is A Hybrid Integrated Circuit? A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) or a hybrid microcircuit, is a miniaturised electronic circuit that combines different electronic components on a single platform ...

It's not an anniversary that often gets notice, but today marks 55 years since the creation of the first integrated circuit by Jack St. Clair Kilby of Texas Instruments. In the time since, the chip ...

3D-IC technology marks a pivotal shift from scaling in two dimensions to scaling in three. By bringing compute, memory, and ...

Physicists in the US have created a new kind of integrated circuit that can switch light without first converting it into an electronic signal. The light is instead transformed into a quasiparticle ...

The properties of propagating surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along one-dimensional metal structures have been investigated for more than 10 years and are now well understood. Because of the high ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside on ...
