VLPI aims to scale manufacturing of large-format photonic integrated circuits for ultra-efficient, light-based computing. Project could revolutionize photonic ICs similar to how VLSI transformed ...

Fifty years ago this month, Intel introduced the first commercial microprocessor, the 4004. Microprocessors are tiny, general-purpose chips that use integrated circuits made up of transistors to ...

Design, simulation and manufacturing advances continue to push photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to smaller sizes, which provide greater capabilities per chip, writes Liam Critchley. Advanced optics ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI https://doi.org/10.29026/oea.2022.210061 discusses high performance integrated photonic circuit based on inverse ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

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 ...

The reliability and performance of integrated circuits (ICs) are ensured through a suite of complementary testing methodologies that span from low-level defect detection to system-level functional ...

Click to open image viewer. This is a circuit module from an IBM 9020 computer. The components on this module were mounted on small ceramic squares, and soldered to a circuit board. IBM caled the ...
