TI dominates analogue devices market with shrewd purchases, says report
Texas Instruments was again the leading supplier of analogue devices in 2014 with $8.1bn in sales, and increased its analogue marketshare to 18%, according to rankings of top suppliers of major IC product categories found in IC Insights’April UpdatetoThe McClean Report 2015. The top 10 analogue IC suppliers accounted for 57% of total analogue sales in 2014, up slightly from 56% in 2013.
Copper etch scheme overcomes resistivity & reliability issues
At the recent IEEE IITC conference in Grenoble, France, nanoelectronics research center imec and Tokyo Electron Limited jointly presented a direct copper etch scheme for patterning Cu interconnects. The scheme has great potential to overcome resistivity and reliability issues that occur while scaling conventional Cu damascene interconnects for advanced nodes.
Bottom-up prefill process holds promise for 7nm node
During the IEEE IITC conference in Grenoble, nanoelectronics research centre imec and Lam Research jointly presented a bottom-up prefill technique for vias and contacts. The technique, based on ElectroLess Deposition (ELD) of cobalt, is a highly selective method resulting in void-free filling of via and contact holes. Potentially increasing the circuit performance, it is a promising path to scaling advanced interconnects and enabling future logic...

IoE solutions are being significantly adopted
Qualcomm has announced that its subsidiaries, Qualcomm Technologies (QTI), Qualcomm Atheros, Qualcomm Life and Qualcomm Connected Experiences (QCE), are achieving significant adoption of their broad connectivity, computing and solutions for the IoE. Driven by the significant growth and diversity of interconnected devices, Qualcomm companies are delivering the solutions and collaborating with technology leaders to empower manufacturers to create t...
Synchronous buck DC/DC IC design
Besides the power efficiency, a key performance requirement for point of load power supply ICs is the transient performance. Sudden changes in the current drawn by the load (for example, an FPGA) require a fast response from the power supply. Such fast variations of the output current, however, cause transient spikes on the output voltage, whose amplitude and duration depend on the transfer function of the regulation loop.
Infineon Technologies & Panasonic to develop GaN devices
Infineon Technologies and Panasonic have announced an agreement under which both companies will jointly develop Gallium nitride (GaN) devices based on Panasonic’s normally-off (enhancement mode) GaN on silicon transistor structure integrated into Infineon’s SMD packages. In this context Panasonic has provided Infineon with a license of its normally-off GaN transistor structure.
