While graphene has some amazing physical, optical and mechanical properties, its lack of a natural bandgap limits its use in electronics. Methods of varying complexity have been found to add bandgaps, and now there is another tool in the box – a chemical whose molecules self-assemble into an evenly-spaced flat lattice as they bond down ...

Imec has come up with a novel DRAM cell architecture that implements two indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors (IGZO-TFTs) and no storage capacitor. DRAM cells in this 2T0C (2 transistor 0 capacitor) configuration show a retention time longer than 400s for different cell dimensions – significantly reducing the memory’s refresh rate and power consumption. The ability to ...
