Fab feedback for new semi development
In some cases, when developing new integrated devices designers use the initial data they obtain to provide feedback to the fab, requesting a tweak of some process parameter, the better to establish the particular device characteristic for which they are looking. Once the designer is satisfied the device is ready, he or she moves on to a much more detailed sample testing phase.
Energy Harvesting Opportunities in Vehicles
The automotive industry is at a time of total change with every component and subsystem subject to radical and rapid change. Consider urban buses. Only a five years ago, almost all of these were powered by very old internal combustion engine technology. Then came the hybrids, with 600 being introduced in London at the present. These used nickel metal hydride batteries then some used lithium-ion batteries to provide a plug-in option. However, thes...
Fujitsu to Start Production of GaN Power Devices for High-Efficiency Power Supply Units in 2013
Fujitsu Semiconductor today announced that it has achieved high output power of 2.5kW in server power-supply units equipped with gallium-nitride (GaN) power devices built on a silicon substrate. The company will exhibit the device for the first time at Embedded Technology 2012 Conference and Exhibition (Nov. 14-16 at the Pacifico Yokohama Convention Center in Japan), and will start volume production of the GaN power devices by the second half of ...

New Elesa Indexing Plungers With Clamp Plus Added Safety Function
Elesa’s new GN7336.7 indexing plungers with clamp knob are used to position, to lock and to make secure elements whose position needs to be changed such as guides, plates etc. By axially lifting the knob, the spring pressure is overcome; hence the plunger is retracted, allowing the positioning adjustment.
