A developer explored combining Intel's x86S architecture with IGZO-based eDRAM technology, using a Gemini prompt to analyze the implications. The work references imec's capacitor-less IGZO DRAM resear…
Optical interconnects are moving inside the compute tray, targeting the memory tier that carries roughly ten times the scale-up bandwidth per GPU and about one hundred times the scale-out bandwidth, a…
Micron Technology announced on August 20 the launch of Micron Research Labs, a $10 billion, decade-long initiative to create the first dedicated AI memory research institution in the U.S., with a flag…
United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) has started mass-producing 12-inch silicon photonics wafers from its Fab 12i facility in Singapore, marking a commercial milestone for AI data center intercon…
At imec's ITF World 2026 conference in Antwerp, the semiconductor industry signaled a shift from transistor scaling to systems-level integration, driven by AI's demands on memory, interconnects, and p…
As AI shifts from training to inference, optical interconnects are moving closer to chips to address bandwidth, latency, and energy bottlenecks. Imec researchers argue that co-packaged optics will be …
The semiconductor industry is shifting from traditional chip scaling to heterogeneous large-scale integration (HLSI) to meet AI demands, according to imec. This new approach combines specialized techn…
Belgian semiconductor research institute imec announced the world's first quantum dot qubit device fabricated using High-NA EUV lithography, a breakthrough that could align quantum computing manufactu…
