More on: Brain-computer interface for tetraplegic man

Last week it was reported that a tetraplegic man was able to walk and control both arms using a direct brain interface – a neuroprosthetic that read, transmitted and decoded brain signals in real-time to control an exoskeleton. The brain connection is through a ‘semi-invasive’ medical device called Wimagine, developed at French lab CEA – ...

Samsung develops 12-layer TSV package

Samsung has developed 12-Layer 3D-TSV TSV chip packaging technology. The technology allows the stacking of 12 DRAM chips using more than 60,000 TSV holes, while maintaining the same thickness as current 8-layer packages. The thickness of the package (720㎛) remains the same as current 8-layer High Bandwidth Memory-2 (HBM2) products. This will help customers release next-generation, ...
