Top News MIG announces finalists for MEMS & Sensors Technology ShowcaseSelected from a pool of applicants, finalist companies will demo their MEMS/sensors-based applications as they vie for attendees' votes.  Techniques for simplifying pulsed measurements: Part 1Pulsed measurements are defined in Part 1, and common pulsed measurement challenges are discussed in Part 2. Security should not be hard to implementData is ubiquitous today. It is generated, exchanged and consumed at unprecedented rates.
From our Sponsor Condensation Curing Silicone Is Optically Clear Low viscosity Master Bond MasterSil 152 is a two component silicone system that cures when exposed to air at room temperature. It has an exceptionally low viscosity and outstanding electrical insulation properties, making it ideal for potting and encapsulation applications.  Click here for more information

Tech News Improving the reliability of dry vacuum pumps in high-k ALD processesDesign features that contributed most to the improved performance include increased rotational speed, integrated rotor sleeves, and increased purge injection temperature. Precision growth of light-emitting nanowiresA novel approach to growing nanowires promises a new means of control over their light-emitting and electronic properties.  Imec introduces new snapshot hyperspectral image sensors with mosaic filter architectureAt next week's SPIE Photonics West 2015, imec will present a new set of snapshot hyperspectral CMOS image sensors featuring spectral filter structures in a mosaic layout, processed per-pixel on 4x4 and 5x5 'Bayer-like' arrays.  Fabrication of patterns with linewidths down to 1.5nmResearchers at aBeam Technologies, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a technology to fabricate test patterns with a minimum linewidth down to 1.5nm.

Business News January 2015 book-to-bill supports positive outlook for semiconductor equipment industryA book-to-bill of 1.03 means that $103 worth of orders were received for every $100 of product billed for the month. Call for Papers open for SEMICON Europa 2015 and Plastic Electronics 2015SEMI today announced the "Call for Papers" for technical sessions and presentations for SEMICON Europa 2015 which takes place October 6-8 in Dresden, Germany. Technical presentation abstracts are due April 30. GLOBALFOUNDRIES joins imec to develop innovative RF solutions for Internet of Things applicationsGLOBAL FOUNDRIES announced a partnership with imec, a nanoelectronics research center, for joint research on future radio architectures and designs for highly integrated mobile devices and IoT applications. Giga-scale challenges will dominate 2015It wasn't all that long ago when nano-scale was the term the semiconductor industry used to describe small transistor sizes to indicate technological advancement.
