At advanced nodes and in the most advanced packages, physics is no one’s friend. Escalating density, smaller features, and thinner dies make it more difficult to dissipate heat, and they increase ...

Things are known to expand when they get hot. Bridges, roads, and even the Eiffel Tower grow a little taller in the summer.

A high-resolution TEM image of the nanoparticles studied in this work. Courtesy: J Belo Most materials expand when they are heated up and contract when cooled down – a phenomenon known as positive ...

Advanced materials, including two-dimensional or "atomically thin" materials just a few atoms thick, are essential for the future of microelectronics technology. Now a team at Los Alamos National ...
