Twentieth century has been the golden age of semiconductor industry by achieving a high level of growth as a courtesy of developments in fabrication techniques and downscaling of the technology. Since the downscaling in current lithography technology is re ...
The evolution of computing has lead to very different realizations to cope with performance and energy consumption density, two competing factors that are not obvious to reconcile. The current semiconductor technologies, mainly FinFETs and FDSoI, provide u ...
Today, the semiconductor industry is feeding our digital world with more and more data coming from compact embedded electronics that are monitoring our environment and feeding analytics for action. Interaction with our digital world is mostly achieved thro ...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted increasing attention over the last decade owing to their remarkable mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Following the groundbreaking discovery of graphene, a plethora of other atomically-thin materia ...
In the past half-century, the semiconductor industry has relied on the scaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistor dimensions and on material and geometrical innovations to increase the computational density. Approaching the end of ...
The slowdown of Moore's law, which has been the driving force of the electronics industry over the last 5 decades, is causing serious problem to Integrated Circuits (ICs) improvements. Technology scaling is becoming more and more complex and fabrication co ...
Quantum computing (QC) has already entered the industrial landscape and several multinational corporations have initiated their own research efforts. So far, many of these efforts have been focusing on superconducting qubits, whose industrial progress is c ...
The semiconductor industry, governed by the Moore's law, has achieved the almost unbelievable feat of exponentially increasing performance while lowering the costs for years. The main enabler for this achievement has been the scaling of the CMOS transistor ...
In this paper, we consider devices, circuits, and systems comprised of transistors with integrated ferroelectrics. Said structures are actively being considered by various semiconductor manufacturers as they can address a large and unique design space. Tra ...
Typically, a time-of-flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) block detector is built using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), since they integrate a high number of channels at a reasonable power consumption and into a small area. How ...
