3D Transistor : Intel Reinvents Transistors

Transistor is a very important electronic device which is used to amplify and switch signals. It was using 2D design since the invention, about 50 years ago. Now Intel introduces a revolutionary 3D Transistor design called Tri-Gate. This technology was first introduced by Intel in 2002 to high volume manufacture of 22-nanometer (nm) node in a chip named "Ivy Bridge." The Three dimensional Tri-Gate transistors will replace the traditional planar two dimensional transistor structure that is used in today's computers, mobiles and other...

SELF-HEALING ELECTRONICS

Electronic circuits are becoming more complex and denser. Damage to a single element can result in malfunctioning of the entire electronic system, this can range from a simple conducting wire to complex devices. The problem is more dominant when damages occur inside the ICs. When a tiny circuit inside an IC breaks, the whole chip or even the whole device is unusable. Engineers of the University of Illinois has successfully developed a self-healing system capable of reparing a cracked circuit by...

SPINTRONICS BASED DEVICES TO REPLACE TRANSISTOR TECHNOLOGY IN NEAR FUTURE

One of the basic element in every electronic device is the transistor. Decades old technology. Finally the Scientists of Cambridge are on their way to an alternative. Spintronics which relies on the magnetic moment or the spin of an electron could revolutionise the enitre electronics field.Much of its benefit goes to computing since it can create ultra speed pcs.Due to its high speed, density and low power consumption its more efficent than the traditional technologies. Untill now reasearches were more concentrated...

ARM’s First 64-bit Processors

ARM will introduce its First 64-bit processors later in this year targeting on servers and high-end smart phones. They are also started to taking steps to build up software support for the s64-bit processor designs. Most of the smart phones and tablets that we use today use ARM processors. Now the company is trying to dominate its market as Intel dominate in server market. New ARM processors will be licensed to device makers and  based on the ARMv8 architecture. These will be in market by 2014, after it will...

Intel’s Mesfield series processor

For some time now Intel had been trying to enter the smartphone sector owing to the success when it comes to pc’s, and they have finally managed to do it with the introduction of the new Lenovo K800,the first smartphone to hit the market running Intel’s  32nm Medfield platform.   The K800 is based on the Penwell SoC that has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2460 CPU with 512KB L2 cache. On the GPU side it comes with PowerVR SGX 540 which...

Smart tag to Print Electronics on Plastic

Technology is exponentially advancing day by day. Now a Norway based ThinFilm Electronics announced that they are planning to make an electronic device on a piece of plastic. Researchers at PARC and ThinFilm Electronics had developed the technology to print electronics circuits and devices on plastic by using a printer similar to one attached to our computer. This is done by using organic ferroelectric  polymer ink. The exact details are not published, but by examining the picture we can understand that it looks...
