Engineering teams can achieve AI-ready design data with five-level maturity model by Keysight. The unified, traceable data accelerates design cycles, boosts IP reuse, and reduces costly re-spins.
Focused laser-like light that covers a wide range of frequencies is highly desirable for many scientific studies and for many applications, for instance quality control of manufacturing semiconductor electronic chips.
Scientists at ITMO have come up with a new way to protect microelectronics devices from counterfeit. The new technology is based on gold and silicon nanoparticles with unique optical properties that make it possible to create unclonable functions with a record information density.
An international team of scientists was first to demonstrate that halide perovskites can serve as a base for nonlinear on-chip optical components. As an example, they can be used to build ultrafast optical chips and transistors, and, potentially, other integrated optical systems.
As microLEDs inevitably shrink in size, the micro-bumping requirements for the microLED dies becomes more challenging. Direct wafer-based printing based on gravure offset techniques offers a promising solution in this regard. Indeed, this is another field where printed electronics can play a role.
The three themes are closely linked since QDs can be digitally printed as color conversation materials atop blue microLEDs to enable wide color gamut RGB uLED displays without requiring a separate transfer step for each color.. This is an important technology as it simplifies the manufacturing step for microLED and thus removing a major hinderence.
PCB layers are the copper layers within a printed circuit board, laminated between or onto layers of conductive material. These layers are stacked to enhance the functionality of electronic devices. This article explores the concept of PCB layering, the various types of layers, and their benefits.
In this article, we look at how Super Low power Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE enable smart locks to be more agile and reliable by demonstrating these features with a case study from Renesas.
The EVT Stage implements the design in its form, fit, and function to better inform stakeholders of your production intent. Don't rush this important milestone.
Flexible electronics have enabled the design of sensors, actuators, microfluidics and electronics on flexible, conformal and/or stretchable sublayers for wearable, implantable or ingestible applications.
Article #3 of the Enabling IoT Series. This article looks at how Time of Flight (ToF) sensors are used for this purpose and are changing the way we can interact with VR, and other video technologies.
Canadian researchers have discovered that they can stick hydrogel plasters to the skin very effectively using ultrasound. Outi Supponen has now explained the underlying mechanism: imploding bubbles that form within the adhesive located between the plaster and the skin anchor the one on the other.
Magnetism is a force exerted by charged particles in motion that allows them to attract/repel other moving charged particles. The universal phenomenon is responsible for shaping the world as we know it.
Phosphors or QDs for color conversion in LCD and microLED ? Which will win? This is an evolving technology space to watch. Here, it is shown that phosphor technology is evolving, enabling not just red but also green narrowband color conversation with small particle sizes compatible with microLEDs
Molecular particle free inks can offer extreme formability and stretchability, allowing the design and production of 3D shaped and/or in-mold electronics parts with extreme curvatures and complex shapes.
