(May 17, 2016) “Researchers from University of Groningen and the University of Manchester have now, for the first time, directly detected the Peltier effect in graphene that is either one or two atoms thick [and] showed that the effect can be switched from heating to cooling by tuning the type and density of the charge carriers inside the material,” reported Nanowerk.com. The … [Read more...]
High Temperature Analogue and Mixed Signal Electronics May Become Silicon Carbide-Based
(May 24, 2016) Recently, SiC (Silicon carbide) has been recognized as a material that can be “used for small signal electronics – such as analogue and mixed-signal devices – making possible the locating of monitoring and control circuitry much closer to heat sources” in the electronics industry, according to NewElectronics.co.uk. “Research groups have been exploring various … [Read more...]
New Method for Doping Single Crystals of Diamond Discovered
(May 24, 2016) Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have recently introduced a new method for doping to bring diamonds a step further as semiconductors. Doping is a “process in which other elements are integrated into the semiconductor to change its properties,” explained Phys.org, and “because of diamond's rigid crystalline structure, doping is difficult.” But … [Read more...]
Researchers May Have Solved the Problem of Thermal Resistance for ICs
(May 18, 2016) Researchers at Lockheed Martin are further exploring the idea of microspraying hot integrated circuits (ICs) to cool their thermal resistance problem. EETimes.com reported, “The efforts are focused on gallium-nitride (GaN) power amplifiers and associated monolithic microwave ICs (MMICs) which are increasingly used in RF designs. GaN offer many operating … [Read more...]
New Type of Graphene Could Increase Processor Clock Speeds
(May 19, 2016) Recently, scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Institute of Physics and Technology RAS, and Tohoku University (Japan), have developed a new type of graphene-based transistor, whose modeling demonstrates that it has ultralow power consumption compared with other similar transistor devices. The newly proposed design was for a … [Read more...]
