Murata has announced a new generation silicon capacitor process which builds devices less than 40µm thick and up to 1.3µF/mm2. Made using semiconductor lithography techniques, the capacitors are ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite being just 30 nm thick ...

Guest columnist Naoyuki Kobayashi, senior product manager at Murata says that one problem frequently encountered when designing LED lighting circuits is that the capacitors in the circuit experience ...

Bypass capacitors are found in every working piece of electronic equipment. Most engineers know that systems, circuits, and individual chips need to be bypassed. The methods for choosing bypass ...

But if you eliminate the capacitor, where is the charge that represents the data bit stored? That's the magic of SOI. The active circuit layer is isolated from the substrate, so there's a capacitive ...

TOKYO — Toshiba Corp. said it is leveraging its deep-trench-capacitor DRAM structure, which it has championed as a process driver since the 0.25-micron generation, to migrate its system-on-chip ...

Various forms of heat pumps—refrigerators, air conditioners, heaters—are estimated to consume about 30 percent of the world's electricity. And that number is almost certain to rise, as heat pumps play ...
