The pedagogical model of the integrated circuit goes something like this: take a silicone wafer, etch out a few wells, dope some of the silicon with phosphorous, mask some of the chip off, dope ...

By January 23, 1959, his idea for the integrated circuit filled four pages of his notebook. And so Jack Kilby at TI and Robert Noyce at Fairchild had independently invented the integrated circuit.

Inductance and capacitance Just like with a series circuit, if a parallel circuit consists of elements other than resistances, the basic algebraic equations describing the current flowing in each ...

There's a long wish list for a workable quantum computer: a viable system must be fast, compact and stable. The first integrated optical quantum logic circuits are a step in the right direction.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can enable high-speed data transmission, low-power consumption, and compact size, making ...

Researchers in Italy have created the first integrated circuit to combine two transistors made from the “wonder material” graphene. By adapting a technique used to fabricate silicon transistors the ...

The basic technology behind Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) has been known for decades. But today, the power and potential of PIC technology is emerging as a possible solution for our modern data ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have created the world's first completely transparent integrated circuit from inorganic compounds, another major step forward for the rapidly evolving field ...
