Liquid metal (gallium-indium) for tear resistant soft materials
In this post, Indium discuss the technology behind the paper: 'Extreme Toughening of Soft Materials with Liquid Metal' with Dr. Navid Kazem. Dr. Kazem began his work with liquid metal-embedded materials at Carnegie Mellon University, where he earned his PhD. He has since co-foundeda new company devoted to rubber composites.
Production milestone for radio frequency switches
Ten year ago, in 2008, Infineon Technologies AG started the volume production of its first bulk-CMOS radio frequency (RF) switch. Now, in the dawn of the 5G era, Infineon’s well-engineered portfolio and products have received an unprecedented welcome from innovators in wireless markets across the world
Gallium-indium liquid metal self-healing electronics - Part 4
In the last few posts, we have learnt about how to create stretchable electronics from gallium and indium embedded into an elastomer. In this post, Indium continue the conversation withEric Markvickaand look at applications for this type of stretchable electronics.
0.45um GaN power process for 5G applications
To support current and future 5G applications, WIN Semiconductors has expanded its gallium nitride (GaN) process capabilities to include a 0.45um-gate technology. The NP45-11 GaN-on-SiC process from WIN Semiconductors allows customers to design hybrid Doherty power amplifiers used in 5G applications including MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) wireless antenna systems. MIMO base stations often combine Doherty power amplifiers with linearis...
CoolGaN is set to revolutionise power management
The key benefits of gallium nitride (GaN) are, amongst others, high power density, efficiency and decreased system costs. Infineon Technologies have started volume production for CoolGaNproducts by the end of 2018, the company announced during PCIM Europe. Engineering samples of the high reliable GaN solution in the market are available now. At PCIM 2018 Infineon showcases (Hall 9, booth 412) CoolGaN products in telecom, adapter, wireless chargin...
Gallium-indium liquid metal self-healing electronics - Part 5
This week we learned about an exciting new liquid metal-infused polymer, made with a gallium-indium alloy, which can be used to form circuits that heal themselves after being damaged. In this post,Eric Markvickaand Jim wrap up their conversation.
Bringing quantum sensing platform and production to market
The launch of the end -to-end platform has been announced by the Ram Group which consists of quantum sensor technology, R&D labs and global production facilities bringing quantum sensing from a dream of the future to the present reality.Following eight years of development and perfecting their quantum sensing technology, the group is opening their post-silicon era solution to any enterprise aiming to bring advanced diagnostics capabilities to...
Gallium-indium liquid metal self-healing electronics - Part 3
In this post from Indium,Eric Markvicka talks about how easy it is to form a stretchable electrical circuit with liquid metal-embedded material and some simple tools.
Gallium-indium liquid metal self-healing electronics - Part 2
Eric Markvickademonstrated self-healing electronics with his video of a liquid metal embedded elastomer. In this post, Indium discuss a composite material that is electrically insulating until it is patterned, at which point it becomes conductive. What initially drew attention to this technology is that it contains indium and gallium, specifically EGaIn – the eutectic gallium-indium alloy (Indalloy #60) which is 75.5%Ga and 24.5%In.
GaN switches for high power densities
It has been announced that Finepower, a distribution specialist for power electronics, is adding semiconductor products from the GaN specialist VisIC Technologies to its product range. Gallium-nitride (GaN) power semiconductors are currently the tool of choice to significantly increase the power density of DC/DC converters or onboard charge units.
