This edition of the Microelectronics Technology Opportunity Engine covers innovations related to programmable protonic resistor, RISC-V processor, SoC, wearables, 3D GaN technology, 3D NAND memory, holographic microchip, photonic processor, optical transceiver, and mmWave chipset.
The Microelectronics Technology Opportunity Engine captures global electronics-related innovations and developments on a weekly basis. Developments are centered on electronics attributed by low power and cost, smaller size, better viewing, display and interface facilities, wireless connectivity, higher memory capacity, flexibility and wearables. Research focus themes include small footprint lightweight devices (CNTs, graphene), smart monitoring and control (touch and haptics), energy efficiency (LEDs, OLEDs, power and thermal management, energy harvesting), and high speed and improved conductivity devices (SiC, GaN, GaAs).
