The application of epitaxial growth in CMOS silicon process is mainly to improve the crystal quality of wafers, optimize the electrical performance of devices, support advanced process nodes, and meet the manufacturing needs of high-performance and high-density integrated circuits. Through epitaxial growth technology, the doping and structure of the material can be precisely controlled, and the performance and reliability of the overall device can be improved. Read More

On the evening of June 11 local time, the lithography giant ASML, headquartered in the Netherlands, sent a message on the social platform to mourn the death of WimTroost, one of the founders of ASML. Read More

The size of the tin ball and the method of making it are very different.Tin balls are getting smaller in advanced packages.With more and more functions of integrated circuits, the chip size is relatively reduced, and smaller tin balls are needed to achieve high density interconnection. The miniaturized tin ball with copper column has better heat dissipation performance and ADAPTS to higher power chip requirements. Read More

Apple announced today at the WWDC24 developer conference that it has partnered with OpenAI to add ChatGPT to Siri in the future. This operation angered Musk, who sent a series of posts on the X platform, accusing Apple of "selling user data." Read More

半导体量子点（Quantum Dot，QD）以其显著的量子限制效应和可调的能级结构，成为构筑新一代信息器件的重要材料，在高性能光电子、单电子存储和单光子器件等方面具有重要应用价值。半导体量子点材料的制备和以其为基础的新型信息器件是信息科技前沿研究的热点。 近期，在中国科学院半导体研究所王占国院士的指导下，刘峰奇研究员团队等在量子点异质外延的研究方面取得重要进展。研究团队以二维材料为外延衬底，基于分子束外延技术，发展出范德华外延（van der Waals epitaxy）制备量子点材料（图1）的新方案。 Semiconductor Quantum Dot (QD) has become an Read More

The semiconductor market is often calculated in five or even ten years, but its development speed and the change of the technical wind direction are far beyond many people's expectations, and several major players in the market may have experienced multiple cycles, but even they do not dare to say that they have mastered the future of semiconductors.
In just the past 10 years, new giants have emerged. Will they take over? Or will it be a note in the history of semiconductors? Read More
