Platform produces intricate biocompatible micromachines
A team of researchers led by Biomedical Engineering Professor Sam Sia at Columbia Engineering has developed a way to manufacture microscale-sized machines from biomaterials that can safely be implanted in the body. Working with hydrogels, which are biocompatible materials that engineers have been studying for decades, Sia has invented a new technique that stacks the soft material in layers to make devices that have three-dimensional, freely movin...
Bluetooth low energy SoC extends battery life
The BlueNRG-1 system-on-chip (SoC) from ST Microelectronics (ST) is in stock at Mouser Electronics. The BlueNRG-1 contains a Bluetooth low energy radio optimised to satisfy high-volume opportunities in the fast-growing Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth Smart) market through the combination of superior energy efficiency and strong radio performance.
Bumpy surfaces dissipate heat in microelectronics
Bumpy surfaces with graphene between would help dissipate heat in next-gen microelectronic devices, according to Rice University scientists.Their theoretical studies show that enhancing the interface between gallium nitride semiconductors and diamond heat sinks would allow phonons – quasiparticles of sound that also carry heat – to disperse more efficiently. Heat sinks are used to carry heat away from electronic devices.
Compact eCT MCUs meet automotive reliability requirements
Cypress Semiconductor and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) have announced that Cypress has begun volume shipments of microcontrollers (MCUs) containing its proprietary 40nm embedded Charge-Trap (eCT) Flash manufactured at UMC.The shipments mark the culmination of a multi-year collaboration between Cypress and UMC to integrate Cypress’s flash technology with UMC’s 40nm Low Power (40LP) logic process.
X-ray inspection system speeds real-time imaging
The product portfolio for the UK and Ireland at Altus Group has been strengthened by the addition of X-ray and CT inspection equipment developed and manufactured by Nikon Metrology. One such solution available from Altus is Nikon Metrology’s XT V 160, a high-precision, flat-panel based X-ray inspection system that facilitates real-time imaging and defect analysis of next-generation wafer-level, semiconductor device and PCBA applications.
