You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

What Is A Hybrid Integrated Circuit? A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) or a hybrid microcircuit, is a miniaturised electronic circuit that combines different electronic components on a single platform ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

IC packaging is a technique for shielding semiconductor equipment from ambient physical damage or degradation by wrapping them in ceramics or polymer packaging materials. There are several varieties ...

Dr. Navid Asadi’s group examines chip packaging methods such as system-in-package (SIP). This is the second of a mutlipart series on chip packaging technologies. Peter (Chengjie) Xi is currently a ...

Forming circuits involves the use of cylindrical pieces of semiconductor material. These cylinders are sliced into thin, circular pieces known as bare wafers. The bare wafers are then oxidized before ...
