Chips, wafers and semiconductors – these terms are often used interchangeably, but they do not technically refer to the same thing.

The days of computer chips being mere pieces of tech are long gone. Now, they are very much weapons. Weapons of innovation, wealth, control, and power. That's why all the superpower nations are ...

Building a computer chip might seem like a typical process similar to constructing a car in a factory, but it's significantly more complex and microscopic.

Computer chip makers continuously strive to pack more transistors in less space, yet as the size of those transistors approaches the atomic scale, there are physical limits on how small they are ...

New computer chip manufacturing method with graphene squeezes more onto limited wafer space (Nanowerk News) Computer chip makers continuously strive to pack more transistors in less space, yet as the ...

Yet the huge expense of building a semiconductor factory — and the months-long process needed to make a chip — means global demand is far outstripping supply.

Wafer-scale computing is moving ahead, and TSMC plans to be at the forefront of the effort with new packaging technology improvements.

Wafer-scale processors could outperform GPUsIn a peer-reviewed paper, published in the journal Device, the team investigated the potential of wafer-scale accelerators - giant computer chips that ...
