VocalZoom Transforms Voiceprint Verification for Biometrics Authentication Using Optical Sensor Technology

December 6, 2016
  • The transformative VoiceMatch-in-Sensor™ technology converts speaker’s facial skin vibrations into unique, noise-free voiceprint, with both the biometric acquisition and template matching all performed inside the optical sensor solution.
  • Technology is first to eliminate microphones, noise reduction software and previous verification vulnerabilities, also can perform accurate, low-power liveness detection to optimize for fraud protection.
  • Company’s goal is to make optically-acquired voiceprints the most secure, cost-effective, easiest biometric to verify for fraud-proof authentication.

Imec Demonstrates World’s First Vertically Stacked Gate-all-Around Si Nanowire CMOS Transistors

December 6, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO – International Electron Devices Meeting 2016 (IEDM) – Dec. 6, 2016 – At this week’s IEEE IEDM conference, world-leading research and innovation hub for nano-electronics and digital technology, imec, reported for the first time the CMOS integration of vertically stacked gate-all-around (GAA) silicon nanowire MOSFETs. Key in the integration scheme is a dual-work-function metal gate enabling matched threshold voltages for the n- and p-type devices. Also, the impact of the new architecture on intrinsic ESD performance was studied, and an ESD protection diode is proposed. These breakthrough results advance … Read More → "Imec Demonstrates World’s First Vertically Stacked Gate-all-Around Si Nanowire CMOS Transistors"
