AMD will present the morning keynote at the 4th International SEMATECH Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI) Symposium emphasizing the need for a smarter, industry-wide approach to semiconductor development, production and delivery that better meets customer needs.

Toshiba Corporation, together with Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. announced, they have signed non-binding memorandum of understanding expressing their intent to establish joint venture to produce high-performance semiconductors; ‘Cell Broadband EngineTM’, ‘RSX’ graphics engine, to transfer to Toshiba from Sony 300mm wafer line fabrication facilities installed in Fab 2 of Sony Semiconductor Kyushu Corporation's Nagasaki Technology Center by end of March 2008.

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced the MCP4141/2, MCP4241/2, MCP4161/2 and MCP4261/2 (MCP41XX/42XX) non-volatile digital potentiometers.

A Princeton-led research team has created an easy-to-produce material from the stuff of computer chips that has the rare ability to bend light in the opposite direction from all naturally occurring materials. This startling property may contribute to significant advances in many areas, including high-speed communications, medical diagnostics and detection of terrorist threats.

An interdisciplinary team of Cornell nanotechnology researchers has unraveled some of the fundamental physics of a material that holds promise for light-emitting, flexible semiconductors.

Leading A-GPS solution provider announces management team and board additions, following CHF 27m Series-C funding and in anticipation of new product release

With the help of a device capable of depositing metals an atom at a time in the materials used in computer chips, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers has successfully blended modern semiconductor technology and nanomachines.

Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that it will provide a live webcast for its annual Analyst Day event and invites investors to listen to it beginning at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time (11:00 a.m. Eastern Time), Thursday, November 8, 2007.

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced the 25AA1024 and 25LC1024 (25XX1024)—the fastest (20 MHz) 1 Megabit (Mb) SPI serial EEPROM devices in the industry.

In 1959, Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman presented a talk entitled “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom. “ Feynman concluded that there was no physical reason why humans couldn't manipulate atoms. However, if atomic manipulation is achieved the question of observing the new atom positions remains. How do you know what you have done".

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced that, after a thorough evaluation of recent claims made by cryptographic researchers, the Company concluded that its KEELOQ security system, in its recommended real-world implementation, is secure.
