The major obstacle was that the typical amorphous organic semiconductors could not offer high enough carrier mobility to allow sufficiently long minority carrier diffusion length, which is central to bipolar transistor operation. The use of epitaxially grown rubrene with doping together with a novel vertical transistor architecture help to overcome the carrier mobility challenge and lay the foundation for operational bipolar transistor. Bipolar transistors based on crystalline rubrene exhibit high-speed operation in the GHz range and allow direct measurement of minority carrier diffusion. In this perspective, we discuss important aspects in terms of device design and materials for further advances in organic bipolar transistor device performance. We also point out emerging device concepts such as organic heterojunction bipolar transistor and phototransistor that could stem out from organic bipolar transistor development and cover further work necessary. https://lnkd.in/g5dZxs29 ⭐ 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆’𝘀 𝗢𝗔 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Learn about our OA Agreements: https://bit.ly/hkbuOA #research #article #science #physics #organictransistor #organic #phototransistor #hkbu #library #openaccess

Title : #TSMC #Semiconductor #Photonics #UMC TSMC's Taiwan operations unaffected by magnitude 6, 6.3 quakes Cleanroom staff evacuated as precaution though operations quickly return to normal Apr. 23, 2024 17:17 by #Sean Scanlan #TaiwanNews TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) said the earthquakes of magnitude 6 and 6.3 centered in Hualien on Tuesday morning (April 23) had little impact on operations. The situation did not meet the criteria for factory evacuation, but as a precaution, a small number of cleanroom staff were evacuated. No structural damage to facilities was observed, and factory operations and safety systems quickly returned to normal, per CNA. United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), a smaller contract chipmaker, said its wafer plants in Hsinchu Science Park and Southern Taiwan Science Park also remained unaffected by earthquakes early Tuesday morning. On April 18, TSMC announced the 7.2-magnitude earthquake on April 3 led to second-quarter losses of NT$3 billion (US$92 million) after deducting insurance claims. TSMC said the Hualien earthquake was the strongest in 25 years, registering magnitude 5 in Hsinchu, Longtan, and Zhunan science parks and magnitude 4 at Taichung and Tainan science parks, per CNA. TSMC said experience in earthquake response and disaster prevention, along with regular safety drills, allowed 70% of wafer fab equipment to return to normal operations within 10 hours of the quake. Furthermore, no power outages or damage affected high-end extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines. TSMC estimated the April 3 earthquake would affect gross profit margin by about 0.5% in the second quarter due to wafer damage and material losses. The company still expects full-year revenue growth between 21-26%.   # United Microelectronics Corp. # clean room # EUV # TSMC

Very dangerous game. if whole tech leadership rest only on EUV machine, what if there is breakthrough in creating advanced nodes apart from EUV? before Chinese fab start fabricating with DUV albeit more expensive and slower, nobody even mention it as a possibility. What other possibilities and out of box methods to create advanced tech nodes besides EUV? share your ideas

SK hynix: #GDDR7 Mass Production To Start in Q1'2025 Being a major JEDEC #memory standard, GDDR7 is slated to be produced by all three of the Big Three memory #manufacturers. But it seems that not all three vendors will be kicking off mass production at the same time. #SKhynix was at this year's #Computex trade show, showing off their full lineup of memory #technologies – including, of course, GDDR7. SK hynix is the last of the major memory vendor's we've seen promoting their memory, and fittingly, they seem to be the last in terms of their mass production schedule. According to company representatives at the show, the firm will not kick off mass production of their GDDR7 chips until the first quarter of 2025.

Strong #Memory Demand, Increased Shipments to #China Limit Revenue Decline of Top 5 #Wafer Fab Equipment Makers in Q1 2024 💡 The world’s top-five wafer fab equipment (WFE) manufacturers’ revenue decreased 9% YoY in Q1 2024 due to delayed customer investments in leading-edge #semiconductors, which were offset to some extent by strong #DRAM demand. Among these top five, ASML and TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITED revenues declined 21% YoY and 14% YoY respectively. Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA’s revenues declined in low single digits when compared to 2023. However, when compared to the previous quarter, ASML’s revenue declined 26% while KLA’s revenue declined 5% on account of customer capacity adjustment in the advanced node. Applied Materials and Lam Research’s revenues were flat QoQ while Tokyo Electron delivered a revenue increase of 18% due to strong demand from both #DRAM and #NAND. The top five WFE manufacturers’ revenue from China grew 116% YoY in Q1 2024, primarily due to increased DRAM shipments to the country. Strong demand from mid-critical and mature nodes across applications including #IoT, #automotive and #5G will likely continue for the rest of the year.

Taiwan Maintains Central Position in IC Manufacturing Capacity by 2030, with 80% of Capacity from Taiwan-Based Fabs: MIC MIC held the 37th #MIC FORUM Spring Seminar from April 16th to 18th, focusing on #semiconductor capacity dynamics. MIC has surveyed global capacity and has predicted the distribution of Taiwan's #IC #manufacturing capacity worldwide by 2030. Global semiconductor capacity is estimated to grow by 6% in 2024, driven by the recovery of end-market demand, AI, high performance computing (#HPC) applications, and various government incentive measures, accelerating the expansion of global advanced processes and wafer foundry capacity. In 2024, Taiwan's IC manufacturing capacity accounted for 18% of the global total, with a 6% expansion expected. https://lnkd.in/gs7QiECJ #micForum #semiconductor #ICdesign #ICmanufacturing #OSAT #ICpackagingTesting

The #Memory trading volume has decreased, the overall procurement of particulate gas has not grown, and most DRAM module producers have been slow to de-stock, so the current state of the market is not favourable for trading. However, the transaction momentum in the server #DRAM #RDIMM category is rather good, primarily because the original manufacturers' contract bids are relatively high, making the spot somewhat like buying petrol. Overall, there is some variability in the spot market's rise and fall trends for different terminal items, and the real terminal demand is the only basis for assessing the subsequent price trend. Over the course of the week, #DDR4 1Gx8 2666 MT/s had a 0.21% price increase (from US$1.945 to $1.949).
