As AI chips continue to grow in size, the shift in advanced packaging from 300 mm wafers to square panels is becoming clearer, driving parallel development of new packaging technologies including FOPLP, CoPoS, and Glass Core. Manz Asia general manager Robert Lin said yield will determine whether Glass Core can move into mass production.

Nevada Engineering celebrated 28 rising sophomores completing the first Nevada Summer Engineering Academy, focused on robotics and nanofabrication.

A research team led by Chair Professor Shinhyun Choi from the School of Electrical Engineering and the Graduate School of Semiconductor Technology has developed a programmable dynamic memtransistor (PDM), a semiconductor device whose time-response characteristics can be set to and retain multiple states, as well as an integrated array based on the device. The research […]

Tensile strength of coal naturally exhibit anisotropic characteristics and affected by the spatial distribution of its internal microstructures. Microwave heating realizes auxiliary coal breaking, via the thermal difference generated thermal stress in different material after microwave absorbing. Understanding the tensile strength anisotropy affected by microwave heating is significant for the st…

Forge Nano Breaks Ground on a major expansion of its lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Morrisville, North Carolina, as part of its U.S. battery manufacturing platform and in partnership with Samsung SDI.

Manufacturers are preparing for the next generation of electric vehicles, grid storage systems and high-performance computing infrastructure, and attention is beginning to shift from laboratory performance to industrial execution. That shift has renewed interest in dry electrode processing alongside the conventional wet-coating methods that have dominated lithium-ion battery manufacturing for dec…

From tiny robotic doctors repairing your body to the latest climate change-tackling tools, nanotechnology is fighting an invisible battle on our behalf.

A new study investigated the source of a leak in a ‘miracle measurement’ from 2010 – and engineers found a potential solution.

One species of eel can discharge 860 volts of electricity – that’s 200-fold higher than the top voltage of a single lithium-ion battery.

To commercialize quantum computing, manufacturers need high-quality superconducting materials for microchips, but they also require a reliable, sustainable nanofabrication process. Tantalum is a corrosion-resistant metal that meets the first criterion but not the second. That’s because it has to be deposited on a substrate at temperatures that typically exceed 400°C (752°F)—too hot for many semic…

This role involves designing and laying out photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for quantum processor units (QPUs) using Python-based tools. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate photonic components into multi-layer chips, perform layout verification (DRC/LVS), and contribute to custom...
