International Electronic Devices Meeting IEDM. The Most Speedy, the Most Small, the Most Novel Chips International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) is one of the distinguished international events where producers and scientific organizations represent outstanding technologic achievements in semiconductor and electronic devices physics, design, production and simulation. Due to evolution of nanometrics CMOS technology, new advanced memories, displays, sensors, MEMS, novelty quantum and nanosystems, energy harvesting devices at the conference that was held 2011 Dec.5–7 had three tracks. The first theme was how manufacturable FinFETs will be over the next two or tree years. The second track was the competition between a never-say-die phase charge (PCRAM), spin torque transfer MMRAM (STT-MRAM), IBM’s fascinating racetrack memory and resistive RAMs (RRAMs). The third track was on further-out technologies including grapheme, tunnel FETs (properly on III-V materials) and nanowires.

To Have Two Chips is Good, but One is Better. Programmable Digital Chips with Analog Interface Designers that develop various electronic analog processing systems often have to use both analog (amplifiers, comparators, ADC and so on) and digital (processors, peripherals and FPGAs) chips. This leads to complexity of device’s dimensions, manufacturing and cost increase. Cypress, Actel (Microsemi) and Xilinx offer versatile solutions with the help of which it is possible to realize a single chip analog-digital information processor and simplify its development and debugging

High Frequency Contact Measurement Fixtures for Monitoring SAW Filters frequency Characteristicss In spite of plenty various measurement tools Hi-tech electronics industry sector needs cheep, high and low temperature-resistant, simple technical solutions that provide multiple nondestructive connections. Modern measurement instrumentation producers hitg quality units usually are very expensive and single-proposed. That is why alternative solutions that allow connection of four-terminal devices to existing measurement instrumentation is still high. Generally companies and organizations that have to measure components electric characteristics have exclusive proper know-how but there are few new publications about specific technical solutions of this problem. That’s why HF experience and basic construction and production principles of contact measurement instrumentation for SAW filters frequency characteristics reading with 70 dB discrimination in the temperature range fron -60 to 85˚С are so attractive.

ADCs with Output Digital Stream Synchronization. New NXP Solution In September 2010 NXP announced ADC1443D, the first high speed ADC at the market with a digital interface on the SerDes basis that satisfies JESD204B requirements. Among this device integrated performance capabilities there is a so called MDS (Multiple Device Synchronization) function. Due to this function NXP extended advantages of its CGVxpress interface JEDEC JESD204B realization.

X Parameters as an Effective Instrument for Electronic Circuits Analysis Today engineers that are developing active components (amplifiers, frequency doublers and others) electronic circuits more often face the need to simulate their behavior during high power microwave signals. In this case active components usually function in nonlinear mode and conventional methods for describing them on the linear model basis turn out to be useless. Agilent Technologies created an effective instrument X parameters aimed at nonlinear circuits development and analysis.

Photolithography. Solution the Problem of Precision Alignment of Silicon Layers After Epitaxy It’s impossible to create up-to-date IC (IC that demand 40, 60 and 120V power supply) without novel semiconductor technologies. Usually for enhancement of components characteristics these IC are bipolar chips with thick (more then 13 m) epitaxial layers with buried layers. Their design rules are 2 m and in the future they will decrease. There is projection printing photolithographic equipment with automatic alignment and exposure, for instance EM-584AM (design rules down to 1.5 m) or EM5084B (design rules down to 0.8 m), from KBTM-OMO or similar equipment from other producers. As a rule all Russian microelectronic enterprises have equipment of that sort. growth use will declane. Alongside with that the LEDs lighting market grows thanks for governmental measures of many countries that address SSL- development.

IPC PCB with Bottom Termination Components Design and Assembly Standards Application of bottom termination components (BTC) grows due to a less package thickness, less land pattern, less stray parameters and higher thermal characteristics. At the same time application of these components cause some questions, for one terminations dimensions and vias pitch and diameter choice, as well as methods of vias protection against solder wicking, stencil design for optimal past coverage, solder profile. On the IPC standards basis these problems and other important BTC application points are considered.
