Imec enables 5nm 2D FETs

Imec and Pisa University have performed the first material-device-circuit level co-optimization of FETs based on 2D materials for high-performance logic applications scaled beyond the 10nm technology node. Imec also presented novel designs that would allow using mono-layer 2D materials to enable Moore’s law even below 5nm gate length. 2D materials, a family of materials that ...

Cable pull switch is solid-state

Rockwell Automation has introduced a solid-state cable pull switch, through its Allen-Bradley brand. Guardmaster Lifeline 5 has a microcontroller inside and compensate for thermal expansion and cable sag. “Because the Lifeline 5 cable-pull switch is a solid-state switch, there is no mechanical wear that is often associated with traditional switches,” claimed product manager Steve Tambeau. ...

Helix aims for ‘zero-power’ in smart grids

Fabless power semiconductor firm Helix Semiconductors is sampling its first production chip for use in electricity grids. The US firm says it can reduce the power consumed by electronic appliances when in an inactive, or standby, mode. Dubbed ‘Zero Power,’ the goal is specified as less than or equal to 5mW. Based on a patented ...
