Tessenderlo, Belgium – October 17, 2019

X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE, the leading analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, today announced the availability of SONOS-based Flash and embedded EEPROM on its widely implemented XT018 (https://www.xfab.com/technology/soi/018-um-xt018/) BCD-on-SOI platform. The addition of these Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) elements will open up an even broader array of … Read More → "X-FAB Adds Non-Volatile Memory Functions to its 180nm BCD-on-SOI Platform"

Nottingham, UK, October 2019: A UK collaboration between Nottingham-based start-up, Search For The Next (SFN) and Glenrothes-based Semefab may be set to disrupt the semiconductor industry by implementing a fundamental change at transistor level reaching back five decades to the early bipolar IC era before CMOS became mainstream, using a new process called Bizen. Bizen applies the principles of quantum tunnel mechanics to any computing or power technology. When compared to CMOS, Bizen results in a five-fold lead time reduction – down from 15 weeks to just three weeks. Moreover, the new process achieves a three-fold increase in gate density … Read More → "UK collaboration unveils Bizen® a transistor wafer process technology promising to slash lead times, wafer area and process layers while increasing speed, reducing power and increasing gate density over CMOS"
