An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton (UK), and the Institut d'Optique in Bordeaux (France) have devised a new approach for controlling light in a silicon chip by bringing the concept of ...

As components on a computer chip shrink, their structure becomes ever-more complicated to image. A method that uses bursts of X-rays offers high-resolution, rapid-fire visualization down to ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI https://doi.org/10.29026/oea.2022.210061 discusses high performance integrated photonic circuit based on inverse ...

Forming circuits involves the use of cylindrical pieces of semiconductor material. These cylinders are sliced into thin, circular pieces known as bare wafers. The bare wafers are then oxidized before ...

What Is A Hybrid Integrated Circuit? A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) or a hybrid microcircuit, is a miniaturised electronic circuit that combines different electronic components on a single platform ...

Hundreds gather at the Computer History Museum to celebrate the anniversary of the invention of the integrated circuit and two of its inventors, Gordon Moore and Jay Last. Erica Ogg is a CNET News ...
