Industry’s first use of ruthenium in high-volume production enables copper chip wiring to be scaled to the 2nm node and beyond and reduces resistance by as much as 25% New enhanced low-k dielectric ...

(Nanowerk News) With gold, copper or tin and special galvanizing processes, scientists are improving the function of semi-conductors and making the manufacture of microelectronic systems a child‘s ...

It might not be what you would normally call a ‘smart’ material, but copper is certainly helping to pack more intelligence on to the average microchip. The material is now being used by IBM, soon to ...

Researchers have developed a new technique for growing slimmer copper nanorods, a key step for advancing integrated 3-D chip technology. These thinner copper nanorods fuse together, or anneal, at ...

Applied Materials’ Latest Integrated Materials Solution™ Extends Copper Wiring to 2nm and Beyond Applied Materials’ new Endura™ Copper Barrier Seed IMS™ with Volta™ Ruthenium CVD combines six ...

They are particularly small, durable and economical: LEDs have conquered the automotive industry; it is already possible today to recognize the make of a car by the design of the LED headlights.
