And the Sea the Earth Trembling Settled Down…. Unto the Earthquake Effects in Japan The developments in Japan showed that not only modern civilization is highly vulnerable to natural elements. It turned out that a major part of semiconductor and OEM production that because of economic reasons was moved to Asian-Pacific Region occurred in the zone of high seismic activity. What are the Japan earthquake consequences (particularly for production politics and new enterprises allocations planning) on electronics market conditions? Lets try to estimate them.

It reflects the increasing requirements for electronic high frequency (<1 GHz) and microwave (> 1 GHz) devices that increase efficiency manifold. One of objects of the article is to show that the development of Microwave and RF Technology in Europe follows the global trends and thereby justifies European countries military expenditures. Though the article doesn’t present development programs concrete parameters it is of interest as it characterizes at large the directions and numerous EDA international Microwave and RF Technology military programs. Lets examine the article’s main statements.

Micro Dimensions Control in the ICs manufacture. Goals and Features Photolithography is a key technologic progress in the manufacture of semiconductor devices and ICs. Its main purpose is to transfer the original IC topology on the semiconductor wafer surface/ ICs characteristics depend on precision of producing their minimal features. The goal of photolithography is to provide quality implementation of these features on the whole wafer array with due attention to hold the tolerable elements dimension deviations and their position relative to underlying structures that were formed by the previous process.

ISSCC 2011. From Large Scale ICs to Implanted Devices Feb. 20–24 at San Francisco was held one of the first class semiconductor electronics forums, International Solid State Circuits Conference, ISSCC 2011. The conference theme was Electronics for healthy living. This theme obviously means that semiconductor industry indents to gain a foothold in a new territory for the purpose of increasing its revenues. But in spite of biomedical electronics large capacities a conference of such a scale as ISSCC can’t concentrate its attention only to this theme. As well to render medical care at home whether than at a hospital there is a need for ultra small processors, transceivers, batteries, energy harvesting devices, data interpretation and presentation. That’s why high attention was devoted to new developments of ordinary semiconductor devices that can find applications in future medical electronics.

Future Printed Electronics. Reality or Fantasy? The semiconductor industry took more then forty years to approach $300 million business today. Now there is a new form of electronics, and not only electronics but electrics too, that will hit this figure in half the time. It is printed electronics. Their main feature is physical flexibility by virtue of you can print electronic devices on everyday substrates (including paper), bend, stretch, roll them up, embed in cloth etc. Therefore a previously unobtainable capability to realize a great number of electronic and electric devices appeared. Early Roadmaps were wrong. The goals of printed electronics today are not only cost reduction and improvement of current devices but future printed electronics technology design. So what are the new trends of printed electronics?

Diamond-Carbide Composition Material “Skeleton” for Electronic Devices Heat Sinks High power electronic devices designers give special attention to heat rejection. Heat rejection is due to thermal conductivity, thermal radiation and convection. In real world this three different in principle ways of heat transfer are closely related to each other and become apparent simultaneously. However the primary part in the heat rejection process plays thermal conductivity. That’s why one of paths to efficiently remove heat in high power electronic devices is extensively use of heat sinks made from high thermal conductive materials. Electronics commonly uses oxide beryllium ceramic that is remarkable for its high termo conductivity and high dielectric properties. Nitride-alumina ceramic and polycrystalline diamond get under way and today they may be considered as the most promising materials for semiconductor devices heat sinks. Along with them ecologically clean high thermo conductive diamond-carbide composite material “Skeleton” is met with approval.

Power Microwave Transistor Effective Heat Sink Implementation by Means of a Stop-Layer Structure One of the main objectives of microwave electronics development is to increase single devices power. GaAs microwave devices power is limited by their large heat resistance that is greatly due to the GaAs substrate poor thermal conductivity. To improve power microwave transistors heat rejection a new transistor construction is proposed. Computational modeling of its thermal conditions showed effectiveness of the proposed construction.
