Intel's experimental Tri-Gate transistor uses a 3D design, stacking its three gates--tiny pathways for electricity--on top of one another. Meanwhile, Matrix has a 3D circuit design for ...

The printed circuit board (PCB) can then be immersed in water, where the PVA completely dissolves. It make it easy to separate the components, allowing the team to reclaim the liq ...

A new 3D circuit design from Big Blue stacks transistors on top of one another like a cake and could one day boost chip performance. Written by John G. Spooner, Contributor Nov. 11, 2002 at 10:55 ...

[Anderson] is calling his 3D circuit design software Pyrite, and it does exactly what it says on the tin: creates three-dimensional, grid-aligned physical circuits.

The entire contact is embedded into the 3D-MID, so there is no need for wiring. This is an efficient process, says Rega, and has vast potential for miniaturization in automotive electronics. MAKE ...

Of course, if you like the idea of 3D circuit design, you have to check out some of these incredible circuit sculptures we’ve featured in the past.

The circuits in both wafers are fabricated with a two-level metal 0.8-µm CMOS process that enables operation at 5 V. Prior to the circuit fabrication, silicon trenches are etched through the SOI ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...

Artistic rendering of the assembly of designed 3D hierarchically ordered nanoparticle structures using DNA-programmable bonds (left). The desired structure and its design with optical reflection ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing ...
