Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in ...

Researchers from the University of Warwick and the National Research Council of Canada have engineered a strained germanium ...

The Defense Department announced today it made an $18.5 million award to a U.S. optics manufacturer, which would allow the company to increase germanium and silicon crystal production capacity at its ...

Researchers from the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison ...

Researchers engineered a strained germanium layer on silicon that allows charge to move faster than in any silicon-compatible material to date. This record mobility could lead to chips that run cooler ...

Researchers believe they can fit 25 million Josephson junctions — a useful component for quantum computing — on one two-inch wafer with this approach. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

A strained germanium epilayer on silicon achieves a record hole mobility, enabling faster low-power electronics and scalable quantum-ready semiconductor platforms. (Nanowerk News) Most modern ...

Most modern semiconductors are fabricated of or on silicon (Si), but as devices get smaller and denser, they dissipate more power and, as a result, are reaching their physical limits. Germanium ...

Abstract: This study presents a modeling analysis of the electric field and current distribution in germanium-on-silicon (Ge-on-Si) single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors. This analysis will ...

Israel-based wafer foundry Tower Semiconductor reported third-quarter 2025 results that exceeded market expectations, signaling strong momentum for continued revenue growth. The company also announced ...

If you spend any amount of time reading or watching reviews of Apple’s latest products—the M5 versions of the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro—you might get the impression that somehow the new ...
