What is the technology behind manufacturing a semiconductor chip? | Explained

The Hindu  

The story so far: Semiconductor chip manufacturing capabilities are currently limited to very few regions in the world. The TATA group has partnered with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation to set-up a 300mm wafer fabrication plant in Gujarat. ‘Printing’ multiple devices onto a single piece of a semiconductor to create entire circuits was the next leap. Stacking entire circuits on …

Semiconductor tech: What exactly is India going to manufacture?

The Hindu  

Sand plays a vital role in our daily lives. By manipulating the gate to ‘open’ or ‘close’, the transistor stores and manipulates the data in a semiconductor chip. For example, the 500-nm node featured a gate length and metal half-pitch of 500 nm. Yet as transistors continued to become smaller, researchers spotted a discrepancy between the gate length and the …

‘Like having God Almighty doing play by play’: Our readers remember Vin Scully

LA Times  

To so many people in Southern California, Vin Scully was a voice on a transistor radio tucked under a pillow or drifting through the air from seemingly every car or home on warm summer nights. Alberto Franco, Whittier Sports Photos: L.A. remembers Vin Scully Photos document the reaction of Angelenos to the news of legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully’s death …

Vin Scully, Dodgers fans and the transistor radio: How an unbreakable bond was formed

LA Times  

Today, you can walk into Dodger Stadium, device in hand. In 2016, when Vin Scully bid farewell to Dodgers fans before his final home game, this is how he put it: “The transistor radio is what bound us together.” The transistor radio went mainstream at about the same time the Dodgers arrived in Los Angeles in 1958, timing so fortuitous …

IBM unveils 2-nanometre chip technology for faster computing

The Hindu  

For decades, each generation of computer chips got faster and more power-efficient because their most basic building blocks, called transistors, got smaller. The technology could be as much as 45% faster than the mainstream 7-nanometre chips in many of today's laptops and phones and up to 75% more power efficient, the company said. Once a major manufacturer of chips, IBM …
