Artificial intelligence AI has become one of the most significant drivers of semiconductor innovation in history. While AI applications often receive the most attention, the underlying hardware infrastructure that enables AI consists of a highly sophisticated ecosystem of semiconductor technologies. Modern AI data centers… Read More
As wireless communication systems evolve toward 6G, satellite connectivity, advanced radar, and high-performance sensing applications, the integration of heterogeneous semiconductor technologies has become a critical challenge. Silicon CMOS remains the dominant platform for digital processing and system control,… Read More
The continued evolution of semiconductor technologies has created a growing demand for devices capable of operating reliably under extreme conditions, particularly high temperatures. Among the most promising candidates for such applications are gallium nitride (GaN)-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs).… Read More
I’ve read articles about power electronics, RF systems and high-frequency applications using SiC and GaN transistors, especially in EVs and chargers, but hadn’t looked into the details of GaN devices. A recent Silvaco webinar proved to be just the format that I needed to learn more about GaN design and optimization. Udita Mittal,… Read More
Yannick founded EUMETRYS in 2012. He began his engineering career for Schlumberger in 1998 in West Africa and then became an applications engineer for the company from 2000 to 2004 in the semiconductor sector. In 2004, he joined Soluris as a field service engineer until 2006, then Nanometrics as a technical product support specialist.… Read More
Engineered substrate technology is driving an evolution within the semiconductor industry. As Moore’s Law reaches its limits, the focus is shifting from traditional planar wafer scaling to innovative material engineering and 3D integration. Companies like Soitec, Intel and Samsung are pioneering this transition, unlocking… Read More
