Paragraf Is Building a “Blank Canvas” Graphene Foundry

Scientists and engineers have long touted graphene for use in electronic devices due to its excellent electrical conductivity, optical transparency, mechanical strength, and its ability to conduct heat and to remain stable under high temperatures. Graphene’s use in electronics at the commercial level, however, is still limited. That’s in part…

TSMC Lifts the Curtain on Nanosheet Transistors

TSMC described its next generation transistor technology this week at the IEEE International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM) in San Francisco. The N2, or 2-nanometer, technology is the semiconductor foundry giant’s first foray into a new transistor architecture, called nanosheet or gate-all-around.Samsung has a process for manufacturing similar devices, and both…

Graphene Interconnects Aim to Give Moore’s Law New Life

The semiconductor industry’s long held imperative—Moore’s Law, which dictates that transistor densities on a chip should double roughly every two years—is getting more and more difficult to maintain. The ability to shrink down transistors, and the interconnects between them, is hitting some basic physical limitations. In particular, when copper interconnects…

IEEE’s Partnership With Onsemi Boosts Semiconductor Education

Thanks to generous funding from the ON Semiconductor Foundation, TryEngineering has partnered with IEEE members to develop several new resources about semiconductors for middle school educators. The resources include lesson plans, an e-book, and videos. The grant also paid for the creation of in-person professional development sessions for educators—which were…
