Over six decades of integrated circuit production we’ve become used to their extreme reliability and performance for a very reasonable price. But what about those first integrated circuits from the ...

There are a range of integrated circuits that most of us would regard as definitive examples of their type, devices which became the go-to for a particular function and which have entered our ...

Radiation from space is becoming a chip design issue, as feature sizes shrink and chip frequencies increase to the point where logic circuits as well as memories become prone to switching unexpectedly ...

The chip is capable of solving simple logic operations and advanced computations, such as recognizing binary sequences or identifying patterns in high-speed data with an 88% accuracy rate.

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

In a groundbreaking breakthrough, scientists have discovered an entirely new kind of microchip that uses microwaves rather ...

A scientific team has managed to stack 41 layers of semiconductors, multiplying the density of the circuits by six, without ...

Next-generation electronic devices could feature enhanced security systems built directly into their circuitry to help fend off malicious attacks. Protective “logic locks” — based on an advanced ...

A new design strategy from LSI Logic Corp. called RapidChip will allow hardware manufacturers to order custom chips for their devices more quickly and cheaply than existing custom-chip processes, the ...
