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 ...

As electronics demand higher energy density, one component has proved challenging to shrink: the capacitor. Making a smaller ...

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 ...

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 ...

A group of scientists from India has developed a novel single-source switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter (SCMLI) topology. The novel SCMLI topology has fewer switches than a conventional ...

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 ...
