New SMU helps semiconductor device development
Edwin Luijks, Product Manager at Yokogawa Test&Measurement, talks through the company’s new AQ2300 series high-performance, modular, high-speed SMU (Source Measure Unit) offering high-quality pulse generation alongside high-precision voltage/current generation and measurements. Thanks to its inherent productivity and expandability characteristics, the 2-channel SMU module also saves time and space when performing the typically complex measurement functions essential for semiconductor devices.

Recent Interviews

China, geopolitics and the global semiconductor industry
Doug Sparks, CEO of M2N Technologies LLC, a consulting firm specializing in semiconductors, MEMS and sensors, including their supply chains, discusses geopolitics and supply chains, with particular reference to China, AI, sustainability and skills – sharing his considerable knowledge and experience of the global semiconductor industry. Doug has recently published a book on his ‘specialist subject’: ‘A Decade In The Chinese Semiconductor Industry: An American’s Story, which provides insight into the semiconductor and MEMS industry in China – technology, growth, historical background, IP protection strategies, business tips and more.

SemiQ launches 1200 V Third-Generation SiC MOSFET
Bruce Dickinson, Director of North America Sales at SemiQ, discusses the company’s newly launched QSiC 1200V MOSFET, a third-generation SiC device that shrinks the die size while improving switching speeds and efficiency. The device is 20% smaller versus QSiC’s second-generation SiC MOSFETs and has been developed to increase performance and cut switching losses in high-voltage applications. SemiQ is targeting a diverse range of markets including EV charging stations, solar inverters, industrial power supplies and induction heating.

SMU optimised for testing emerging nano/2D semiconductor devices
Chuck Cimino, Senior Product Manager for Lake Shore Cryotronics, explains the company’s new test instrument optimised for characterizing nanoscale and other low-power semiconductor devices. The new SMU-10 Source Measure Unit expands the module offering of Lake Shore’s MeasureReady M81-SSM Synchronous Source Measure (SSM) System and enables engineers to easily source and measure signals that would otherwise be swamped by electrical noise. Primary applications include I-V characterization of transistors used in specialized sensors, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), quantum computer readout electronics, and emerging specialized and integrated circuit nanoscale semiconductor-based devices.

Optimism overrides any causes for concern
Philip Schluter, and Oliver Markl, both Partners at the leading European M&A and Debt Advisory firm, Pava Partners, discuss the state of the semiconductor industry – its size, its geographical and geopolitical strengths and weaknesses across Asia, Europe and North America, some of the key market drivers – the good and the not so good, concluding that there is every reason to be optimistic as to the future.

Imec demonstrates core building blocks of a scalable, CMOS-fab compatible superconducting digital technology
Anna Herr, scientific director at imec USA Florida, explains how record-performing NbTiN-based interconnects, Josephson junctions, and MIM capacitors open doors to energy-efficient compute systems for AI and HPC.

The world’s first silicon photonic chip for FHE
Nick New, CEO of Optalysys, explains how the company enables the future of secure compute by processing encrypted data at scale, without it being decrypted. It does this by using the power of advanced silicon photonics to enable Fully Homomorphic Encryption, a cryptographic technology to allow organisations to securely commercialise their data, providing several significant advantages to traditional electronic semiconductors.
