In the effort to enhance the advanced metal-high-k gate stack for next-generation logic devices, imec successfully demonstrated higher-k dielectric with Replacement Metal Gate (Metal-Gate-Last) transistors that achieved 200x-1000x reduction in gate leakage relative to leading-edge logic devices in the industry with HfO2 high-k gate dielectric.

At the International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco imec’s advanced CMOS research program reports promising advances in scaling logic, DRAM and non-volatile memory. A new device based on non-silicon channels was realized to scale high-performance logic towards the sub-20nm node. Moreover, imec developed low-leakage capacitors allowing DRAM to be pushed to the 2x nm node. And the switching mechanism of resistive RAM for next-generatio...

REALITY, a European funded initiative on Design for Variability, has just finished its project mission. In about its 2.5 years lifespan REALITY has focused on developing industrially relevant innovative design techniques, methods, and flows for the design and analysis of energy-efficient self-adaptive System-on-Chips (SoCs). The tackled challenges include benchmarking the impact of the latest 32nm CMOS process manufacturing variability at all abs...

At this weeks International Electron Devices Conference, the nanoelectronics research center imec presents an innovative, simple and robust GaN-on-Si double heterostructure FET (field effect transistor) architecture for GaN-on-Si power switching devices. The architecture meets the normally-off requirements of power switching circuits and is characterized by low leakage and high breakdown voltage, both essential parameters to reduce the power los...

Despite the severe economical downturn, 2009 was a satisfying year for imec. Imec’s total revenue amounted to 275 million euro, including 222 million euro coming from collaboration with the global industry. 44.7 million euro was granted to imec Belgium by the Flemish government, to guarantee imec’s long term research and investment in new research initiatives, and imec the Netherlands at Holst Centre received 8 million euro from the Dutch gov...

30V and 50V LDMOS power transistors deliver higher gain, greater efficiency and enhanced ruggedness in mismatched applications

The Deeter Group announces introduction of its Wireless Sender which increases the possible applications of the recently launched Deeter Wireless Sensor System for industrial measurement and control.

ON Semiconductor has expanded its portfolio of adjustable Constant Current Regulators. The new CCRs, which provide voltage surge suppression to protect general lighting and automotive LEDs, are simple and highly robust devices designed to provide cost-effective current regulation to LEDs. They are based on the company’s proprietary, patent-pending Self-Biased Transistor technology and regulate current over a wide voltage range.
