POSTER: computer news   ||    THE TRANSITION TO 450-MM WAFERS IS RECOGNIZED AS UNTIMELY	DATE:2017-01-15
In recent years it has been done a lot of steps along the way to transition to the production of semiconductors on wafers of larger diameter.  Several years ago, a group of companies and institutions of the consortium Global 450 Consortium was formed (G450C).  As part of a consortium Intel , TSMC, GlobalFoundries, IBM, Samsung, and the American Institute of SUNY Polytechnic Institute representatives have tried to develop a transition program for processing wafers 450 mm in diameter.  By comparison with a 300-mm plates with each 450-mm wafer will be obtained twice more chips.  This was seen as insurance for the case when the manufacturers will rest in the limit of reducing the scope of technical processes and, in general, in the completion of the work of Moore's Law. As shown in recent years, Moore's law somehow continues.  Chip manufacturers continue to reduce production costs in terms of a single transistor, although not as impressive pace as before.  But the main reason for the stop motion in the direction of the transition to 450-mm wafers, has been the reluctance of manufacturers to produce new machines and related tools.  In any case, so experts believe. The transition to the larger diameter plate would reduce the need for equipment for processing 300 mm wafers.  equipment market would be greatly reduced, what tools manufacturers are not willing to go.  On the other hand, chip manufacturers, too, are aware that the commissioning of the 450-mm line will be worth the cost, which in modern conditions "turbulent economy" may never be recouped.  Therefore, as it became known Internet resource EE Times, at the end of last year, all members of the consortium G450C unanimously agreed transition program for processing 450-mm wafers later.  It has not been forgotten.  It's just postponed until better days - 5-10 years or for another term.

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.  (SMIC) Chinese company's start off the assembly line of long-term non-volatile memory ReRAM or resistive RAM   .  The young US company Crossbar, which in March last year, has licensed the technology to produce ReRAM to this Chinese manufacturer.  ReRAM memory promises to be much faster than NAND-flash, promising to decrease the delay in milliseconds handling units to 20-12 nanoseconds, and 20 times less consumption.  Such outstanding  ReRAM performance can allow it to replace the NAND-memory in all areas of its application.  One problem, ReRAM has not yet reached the stage of commercial production. Crystals memory ReRAM, which began producing  SMIC company, are experienced silicon.  It blocks a capacity of 8 Mbps, intended for embedded applications.  Such blocks promise to appear as part of microcontrollers and single-chip assemblies.  Produce solutions with ReRAM on board preparing company SMIC.  It remains only to be found wanting.  In the future, the company expects to see Crossbar memory ReRAM as an independent storage for all kinds of storage devices.  Crossbar Companies easier to sell the license to produce ReRAM memory and, according to its representatives, interested in technology, many major chip manufacturers. It remains to recall that ReRAM company Crossbar memory cell is a sandwich of two silver electrodes with an area of amorphous silicon between them.  Under the current exposure in silicon begins to grow strands of silver ions, creating a certain conductivity between the electrodes.  Reverse polarity voltage destroys conductivity and voltage from a low value only reads the cell.  Such a cell also requires a separate operation for erasing data, and the number of overwrite cycles reaches 100 thousands, may be increased.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 47343 Rating: 10.0/10 (10 votes cast) SMIC started seasoned release ReRAM	Add Comment ( 1 ) SMIC STARTED SEASONED RELEASE RERAM

The US company Boston Consulting Group (BCG) made a rating of the most innovative companies in the world by the end of 2016.  It was headed by Apple Corporation. Apple recognized as the most innovative company in the world in 2016.  Moreover, Apple ranked first in the ranking of BCG 11 years in a row.  During the last fiscal year ended September 24, 2016, it spent on research and development (R & D) $ 10 million. In second place in the ranking of BCG located Internet giant Google, and closes the top three leaders Tesla.  Fourth place in the ranking went to Microsoft, and the fifth - Amazon.  Also among the 50 most innovative companies Xiaomi company entered the world, has taken 35 place, ahead of Dell, Honda, Renault and Intel.  It has become the most innovative company in China.  It is followed by Huawei, which went to number 46 in the ranking of BCG. Top 10 most innovative companies in 2016 according to BCG:   Apple; Google; Tesla Motors; Microsoft; Amazon; Netflix; Samsung; Toyota; Facebook; IBM.

POSTER: computer news   ||    FOXCONN AND SHARP ARE CONSIDERING BUILDING IN THE UNITED STATES THE LARGEST LCD-FACTORY	DATE:2017-01-14
The newly elected president of the United States - Donald Trump  - one of the points of his program as president outlined a program of import substitution.  The transition to electronics with the label made in America - is not only to protect the interests of the country in terms of security, but also the creation of jobs and tax collection.   It was too much profitable to produce where labor is cheaper and where the other lower production costs.   SoftBank Management Company, as it became known to Japanese sources, a month ago met with Trump and in the person of General Director of the company has promised to consider the issue of construction in the US giant plant to produce LCD panels for displays and televisions.  This plan provides for joint investment in the construction of SoftBank and its partner - the company Hon Hai Precision Industry. Foxconn company and its  unit in a former company Sharp has recently announced a plan to build China's best glass processing plant 10.5G generation substrates for the production of LCD screens.  The plant will start operating in the autumn of 2018, and the amount of investment in construction will be $ 8.8 billion. The same factory, according to the source, can be built in the United States.  According to head of the Sharp, the parties are now actively discussing building plans and, perhaps, one way or another, come to a decision.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 47341 Rating: 10.0/10 (18 votes cast) Foxconn and Sharp are considering building in the United States the largest LCD-factory	Add Comment ( 1 ) FOXCONN AND SHARP ARE CONSIDERING BUILDING IN THE UNITED STATES THE LARGEST LCD-FACTORY
