A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

Year after year, semiconductor manufacturers scale down the size of components, making processors faster and more efficient. However, we're approaching the limits of atomic scale with silicon, leading ...

The ‘Tapping Mode SQUID-on-Tip’ (TM-SOT) microscope enables multimodal imaging to be performed extremely close to the sample surface using tapping mode feedback. This allows for stability during ...

Cornell researchers have used advanced electron microscopy to identify "mouse bite" defects in 3D transistors for the first time ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have unveiled a novel chip-fabrication technique that could reshape hardware-level security for electronic systems by enabling paired ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...
