Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

Researchers at Peking University in China have developed the world’s smallest and most energy-efficient ...

By applying voltage to electrically control a new "transistor" membrane, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved real-time tuning of ion separations—a capability ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

In the vast reaches of the semiconductor cosmos, a silent menace lurks—one that can obliterate years of design work in a fraction of a nanosecond. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) verification stands as ...

Adding big blocks of SRAM to collections of AI tensor engines, or better still, a waferscale collection of such engines, turbocharges AI inference, as has ...

Space is unforgiving to electronics. Beyond Earth’s protective magnetic field, satellites are bombarded by ...

Abstract: Analog circuits, including amplifiers, comparators, and data converters, are highly sensitive to device mismatches, particularly in differential pairs and current mirrors. Intra-die process ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a compact model for feedback field-effect transistors (FBFETs), based on a gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network, enabling fast and accurate circuit-level ...
