Rugged DC accelerometers suit critical structural monitoring
Delivering MEMS capacitive sensing technologies and state-of-the-art microelectronics at a very low cost, two DC accelerometers have been unveiled by Measurement Specialties. The rugged, high-performance Model 4020 and Model 4030 provide long term, stable measurements in structural and vibration monitoring applications
Unified theoretical description of the behaviour of skyrmions is released
Magnetic vortex structures, so-called skyrmions, could in future store and process information very efficiently. They could also be the basis for high-frequency components. For the first time, a team of physicists succeeded in characterising the electromagnetic properties of insulating, semiconducting and conducting skyrmion-materials and developed a unified theoretical description of their behaviour, thus laying the foundation for future electro...
EMS provider sponsors Pan Pacific Microelectronics Symposium
Libra Industries, a private EMS provider, is a corporate sponsor of this year’s Pan Pacific Microelectronics Symposium, scheduled to take place 2ndto 5th February, 2015 at the Sheraton Kauai Resort in Koloa, Hawaii.
Dispense system targets 3D & MEMS applications
Expanding its IntelliGen family of two-stage dispense technologies used in microelectronics manufacturing processes, Entegris has introduced the IntelliGen MV. This builds upon the performance of the IntelliGen Mini and HV dispense systems with a solution optimised for 3D and MEMS applications, enabling high-purity filtration and repeatable dispense of mid-viscosity fluids.
Panel for free MID event announced
The panel of technical speakers presenting on Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) and MIDs (Molded Interconnect Devices) during the free technical event held by A-Laser, has been announced. At the event, which will take place on 19th February 2015 at the company’s California facility, experts from A-Laser and its partners will discuss the possibilities of MID.
Signoff tools reduce 28nm SoC time to tapeout by 33%
United Microelectronics (UMC) used Cadence Design Systems’ implementation and signoff tools to produce a silicon-ready 28nm ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore-based SoC, Cadence has announced. With the Cadence solution, UMC reduced the time to tapeout by 33% compared with its previous solution, and achieved performance of 1.7GHz.
LASER World of PHOTONICS to discuss laser machining of glass
The LASER World of PHOTONICS is scheduled to take place from 22nd to 25th June 2015, at the Messe München site in Munich, Germany. The show will focus on ‘Laser and Optoelectronics’ in halls B2 and B3, and ‘Lasers and Laser Systems for Production Engineering’ in halls A2 and A3.
MCU, sensors & PM components used to monitor bees
With the aim of eliminating parasites that contribute to honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), STMicroelectronics and Eltopia Communications have announced that Eltopia’s Intelligent Foundation, codenamed ‘MiteNot’, uses an STM32F0 MCU, multiple sensors, and power-management components from ST to monitor and collect data on environmental conditions.
Fraunhofer & RoodMicrotec partner
Expanding their existing cooperation, RoodMicrotec and Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS aim to offer their customers complete solutions throughout the whole supply chain, from ASIC design to volume production. Fraunhofer IIS will provide their customers with a more efficient and complete supply chain solution from concept through all processes of design, manufacture, assembly, electrical test, qualification and finally delivery of...
Infineon & UMC to manufacture power semiconductors
Infineon Technologies and United Microelectronics (UMC) have extended their manufacturing partnership into power semiconductors for automotive applications. Previously, UMC had been producing Infineon’s logic chips for more than 15 years. Under the agreement, the companies will transfer Infineon’s automotive-qualified Smart Power Technology (SPT9) to UMC, and extend its production to 300mm wafers. Production of SPT9 products at UMC&rs...
