During many decades, Moore's law, which predicts an exponential increase in performance of semiconductor logic circuits and memories and an exponential decrease in their area, has proven its universal validity. It also helped the semiconductor industry pre ...
Communication systems have played a key role in changing our lives as such systems help to access remote data and to transfer it to the end user when requested. Intelligent nodes, which can process and transmit information placed in a given environment can ...
Flexible transistors and circuits based on dinaphtho-[2,3-b:2',3'-f]thieno[3,2-b]thiophene (DNTT), a conjugated semiconductor with a large ionization potential (5.4 eV), are reported. The transistors have a mobility of 0.6 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and the ring osci ...
Hybrid integration and especially the packaging of microelectromechanical systems (i.e. MEMS) cannot rely on standardised packaging solutions due to the diversity of microsystems. As an example, the packaging requirements of a pressure sensor are different ...

A modification to the standard Bayer CFA and photodiode structure for CMOS image sensors is proposed, which we call 2PFC™, meaning “Two Pixel, Full Color”. The blue and red filters of the Bayer pattern are replaced by magenta filters. Under each magenta fi ...
The mid-infrared range is of interest in spectroscopic applications, due to the large number of organic compounds that exhibit characteristic absorption bands in this spectral region. Semiconductor technology, however, has been developed mainly for the nea ...
Accurate statistical modeling and simulation are keys to ensure that integrated circuits (ICs) meet specifications over the stochastic variations inherent in IC manufacturing technologies. Backward propagation of variance (BPV) is a general technique for s ...
The Advanced Single-stage Planar Actuator (ASPA) is a nanometer-accurate magnetically levitated planar actuator with moving magnets. It is designed at the Eindhoven University of Technology in collaboration with an industrial partner active in the semicond ...
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a photon avalanche detector in the semiconductor substrate. The photon avalanche detector includes an anode of a first conductivity type and a cathode of a second conductivity type. A guard ring is ...
The local bending of a silicon nanowire induces tensile strain in the wire due to the stretching of the silicon lattice. This in turn enhances the mobility of the free carriers (electrons) in the direction of transport along the wire. Thus, for example, wh ...
