125°C photovoltaic coupler outputs 14V for high-voltage mosfets

Toshiba has upped the output of a photovoltaic generator to drive high-voltage power mosfets in galvanically-isolated solid-state relays (SSRs). The device is the TLP3910, with a minimum open voltage of 14V – double that of the earlier TLP3906. TLP3910 is also Toshiba’s first photovoltaic coupler with a minimum isolation voltage 5kVrms. “Along with the creepage ...

Intermetallics and airgaps for 1nm nodes and beyond

Imec has presented an experimental study of Al-based binary compounds, with focus on their resistivity behavior. For example, for stoichiometric AlCu and Al2Cu films, a resistivity as low as 9.5µΩcm was reported. These results experimentally support their promise to be used as new conductors in advanced semi-damascene interconnect integration schemes, where they can be combined ...
