According to Hong Kong media, scientists in mainland China have developed a type of transistor that will significantly enhance chip performance while greatly reducing their energy consumption. As reported by the South China Morning Post on May 27, the most advanced computer chips on the market today use 7-nanometer transistors. Yin Huaxiang, an expert in … Read more
In the semiconductor packaging process, there is a core material that is easily overlooked yet critically important — the IC packaging substrate (referred to as “packaging substrate”). It serves as the bridge connecting the chip and the PCB; without it, the chip’s circuits cannot be connected, and heat cannot be dissipated. Even the most powerful … Read more
Recently, there have been rumors that ByteDance will cut its chip team and operate independently under a new entity, which also involves a restructuring of its AI chip business. In response to these rumors, a relevant person from ByteDance stated on September 4 that the related information is all false. ByteDance emphasized that the main … Read more
I see fans in the comment section requesting tutorials on the crystal expansion machine, so today we will share an explanation of the operation of the crystal expansion machine, taking the semi-automatic crystal expansion machine (V1130 model) as an example. There are many types of crystal expansion machines (fully automatic, semi-automatic), and the operation is … Read more
Fundamentals of Buried Power Distribution Network (BSPDN) In addition to Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors, BSPDN is another key innovation in next-generation logic process technology. In all current digital logic process technologies, transistors are first fabricated on the wafer, followed by the creation of dozens of metal layers that power the transistors and transmit signals between them … Read more
