3D-Compatible Germanium nMOS Gate stack has high mobility
At this week’s IEEE IEDM conference, imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technologies showed for the first time a silicon (Si)-passivated germanium (Ge) nMOS gate stack with dramatically reduced interface defect density (DIT) reaching the same level as a Si gate stack and with high mobility and reduced positive bias temperature instability (PBTI).
Will Bluetooth replace the wire?
As Jonny McClintock, Director of aptX Sales and Marketing, Qualcomm aptX explains,Bluetooth is widely used as a wireless connection for audio applications including phones, media players and wearables, removing the need for cables. The combination of the AD2P protocol and frame-based codecs used in many Bluetooth stereo audio implementations has led to excessive latency and acoustic performance significantly below CD quality.
