Semiconductor Industry Enterprises Organized Growth Models In the global solid state electronics history there were two basically different stages. The first one is the formative stage when the developed devices were of fundamental priority. At the second one attention for the first place was paid to technology. Each stage evolved on the basis of its own organization chart. What kind are these organization charts? What are their priorities and their main requerements?

MEMS Resonators. Things are Really Cooking Quartz resonators that emerged in the past century twenties since the early forties were used as a timing source of countless electronic systems: from timing oscillators and watches to radios and mobile systems, computers and telecommunication systems. The quartz resonators with unrivalled thermostability are up to date the last critical component that isn’t integrated with silicon ICs. From the beginning of eighties microelectronic designers tried to develop MEMS resonators suited for quartz resonators replacement. But it was not easy to create MEMS resonators that didn’t cede quartz crystals temperature stability and performance (not mentioning fabrication difficulty). Recently some MEMS resonators producers managed to solve problems of high temperature stability and low power consumption, packaging and CMOS ICs integration. And so we can expect that MEMS resonators will begin to aggressively replace quartz crystals realizing such advantages as small form-factor, low cost, high reliability, shock and vibration stability.

MEMS Movement Sensors. Part 2. High Precision Inertial Sensors The first part of the article was devoted to MEMS inertial sensors and modules with average characteristics of this class devices. These sensors can be found in systems critical to sensors stable operation in severe conditions (automobile bracket stabilization systems, reserve navigators for small aircrafts and unmanned aerial vehicles) where precision of measurements requirements are not so strict. For more precision measurements producers propose inertial measurement devices with enhanced characteristics. Lets discuss some of them.

SAW Frequency Selection Devices. Physics-technical Design Concept Solution of such an ambitious target as digital TV broadcasting, navigation (GPS/Glonass), civil and defence control and communication implementation is impossible without simultaneous electronic component base (ECB) evolution in particular frequency selection devices. The most important quality providing frequency selection device is a band-pass RF filter. It determines such important for electronics equipment parameters as transceiver interference immunity, range, control and communication systems precision, TV “picture” definition and absence of audio distortion, navigation system position finding accuracy.

Microwaves Generators Phase Noise. Methods for Problems Solution Phase noise level is the key quality factor of microwave active generators. Despite a large number of publications devoted to this problem implementation of phase noise levels corresponding to these requirements today remains one of the most difficult challenges in developing active generators. Desirable phase noise characteristics have active devices with low level flicker noise and resonators with high figure of merit in combination with special hardware design.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing: Standards and their Application Modern electronics demands stable and with minimum disturbances high quality energy supply, Unfortunately up-to-date electrical networks don’t satisfy these requirements to the full. So it is necessary to test the immunity of this technique to various voltage distortions. Moreover it’s necessary to monitor the level of distortion that the equipment itself introducess to the network. These challenges are a part of a more complex problem of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This article briefly considers standards that specify EMC and equipment certification tests.

3D Silicon Technology. What, Where, When? Modern silicon ICs are productd with nodes in the nanometer range and in association with its becoming more difficult to keep the current semiconductor industry rate of growth. This is due not only to achieving the planar (2D) transistors scaling limits, but also to continuously growing complexity of forming nanostructures and in consequence of that to growing production costs. Nevertheless most semiconductor industry experts suppose that silicon technology will remain its leading position up to 20nm nodes. But this demands solving many complex problems. On one side 20nm technology from the viewpoint of counter acting various interrupts seems to be a confidence limit for transistors that only have some tens electrons. On the other side because of switches (transistors) very high density the characteristics mismatching and interference probability grows. It seems that these problems could be solved and microelectronics evolution maintained up to 10nm and less nodes only by 3D technology.

ISSCC 2011. From Large Scale ICs to Implanted Devices. Part 2 By the scope of new trends ISSCC 2011 called the “Semiconductor Olympics” was record-breaking. Never before there were represented so much ready for production new technologies including up-to-date nonvolatile memories, image sensors, MEMS, energy harvesting devices. At ISSCC 2011 designers told and demonstrated ready for commercialization devices rather then theoretic presentations that were promising good luck in the far and maybe in the not so far future. And certainly the subject what awaits industry after 20/22nm wasn’t escaped.
