Understanding polymer and hybrid capacitors
Capacitors may seem simple enough, but specifying them has actually grown more complex in recent years. The reason why comes down to freedom of choice. The universe of capacitors has expanded greatly over the past few years, in large part because of capacitor designs that take advantage of advances in conductive polymers.
IC Manufacturers Close or Repurpose 72 Wafer Fabs from 2009-2013
Semiconductor manufacturers closed 72 wafer fabs between 2009-2013 and another nine fabs are slated to close in 2014, according to data recently compiled, updated, and now available in IC Insights’ Strategic Reviews online database and the Global Wafer Capacity 2014 report.
Laminates & prepegs reduce insertion loss
Isola Group has announced the introduction of Tachyon-100G laminates and prepregs, which enable line cards required to transmit 100GbE at data rates in excess of 25Gb/s per channel. Tachyon-100G has identical electrical properties as its predecessor Tachyon; however, the Z-axis CTE on Tachyon-100G is more than 30% lower than Tachyon, making it more suitable for fabricating high-layer count, 0.8 mm pitch line cards with heavy 2 oz. copper inner la...
