All our analyses in this chapter will be for silicon as the base material; the principles and understanding gained can be applied to other substrates as well. Following a brief introduction to the fundamentals of IC fabrication (Sect. 2.1) and the base material used in it, namely silicon (...
It begins when a bare wafer entersthe fab, undergoes thousands of processing steps over several weeks and exits the fab as an astoundingly intricate piece of silicon. That smart little shard can’t be used in a computer until it completes the second half of manufacturing, called assembly and ...
going into a shopping mall or going into a farmers market like this. The technology is used by 700 million people to pay each other, not just merchants, so it's peer to peer, and it's almost transaction-fee-free....
It’s still the land of opportunity, but now it’s confronting the human cost of its success. The new buzzwords: responsibility and empathy.
Silicon photonics (SiPh) is a material platform from which photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can be made. It uses silica as main element for fabrication.
Traditional Semiconductor: Silicon Silicon is commonly used in semiconductor devices. However, naturally occurring silicon is electrically inert. Sitting between carbon and germanium on the periodic table, these elements have much in common. Each have four electrons in their outer orbital shells which ca...

Maxwell: Startup Drugz is a little venture that we launched in late 2015, me and my partner Nick Haase. We had just exited our first venture back startup. We kind of lived that life for three and a half years and then saw what was happening on Silicon Valley, in TV show and pop ...
based computers. These futuristic devices could be faster and more compact than today’s silicon-based computers. In a new study published today (December 11) inACS Central Science, researchers unveiled a new DNA computing method that is both fast and rewritable — much like modern digital ...
In The Titanium Economy, McKinsey partners Asutosh Padhi, Gaurav Batra, and Nick Santhanam reveal this under-appreciated and under-valued sector of the economy for what it really is: a reliable source of high-paying, domestic jobs and soaring st
