Device R&D

Scottish scientists believe they have made an important discovery in the practical application of high-speed photonic circuits.

A government-funded research project to develop semiconductor lasers for the design of miniature atomic clocks (MacV) receives new funding.

Researchers in Sweden believe they have created a prototype of a graphene transistor device for future computers.

Project engineer, Iain Eddie from CST Global, the Scotland-based III-V opto-electronic, semiconductor foundry, will present a paper on high-speed 850nm VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) at the VCSEL Day in Cardiff this week (8th and 9th June). These lasers are expected to be used for data transmission rates of 50Gbit/s. VCSELs have the benefit of offering a high bandwidth ...

An EU research project to develop a lead-free ceramic dielectric, with high energy density and reduced losses, for high temperature applications such as electric vehicles.

French chip technology research institute Leti develops a shield that can help protect electronic devices against physical attacks from the underside of an IC.

Leti, a research institute of CEA Tech, says it can produce micro-displays with the resolution needed for virtual reality (VR) headsets.

A smartphone that measures gravity and a noise monitor for oceans are among the top university projects which Electronics Weekly has reported on in 2016.

Russian scientists have let two electrons loose in a system of quantum dots to create a quantum computer memory cell of a higher dimension than a quantum bit.

Intel has committed to invest $1.5m over the next three years in research in semiconductor materials, devices and photonics technologies at Tyndall National Institute,  the Irish ICT research institute. Intel has been investing in research at the Cork-based institute since 2009. Bernie Capraro, Research Manager, Silicon Technology at Intel Ireland, said: “The standard of work from Tyndall researchers is top-class, from ...
