Design How-To 2D vs. 2.5D vs. 3D ICs 101

2D vs. 2.5D vs. 3D ICs 101 Clive Maxfield I see a lot of articles bouncing around the Internet these days about 2.5D and 3D ICs. One really good one that came out recently was 2.5D ICs are more than a stepping stone to 3D ICs by Mike Santarini of Xilinx. On the other hand, there are a lot of other a...

Coventor Brings More Accuracy & Performance into Design

Coventor Brings More Accuracy & Performance into Design of MEMS Devices Although MEMS devices in various forms are now found in most electronic devices, predominantly in mobile, automotive, aerospace and many other applications, their major revolution, I believe, is yet to happen. We are seeing ...

Pleasure of knowing-Container shape

Many of the water and liquid fuel tankers have the container in an elliptical cross section. But for the same surface area a perfect cylindrical cross section container would have more volume. Then why is the elliptical cross section preferred? There are a number of factors which affect the shape of...

MEMS Explosion

The MEMS market is set to explode. By 2017 the market is expected to be worth $12.2 billion, a 50% increase from 2011, according to IHS iSuppli. Driving this growth will be the continued usage of MEMs devices for consumer applications, such as smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles and cameras. Addit...

Pleasure of knowing-What is the technology behind mono rail?

Mono rail system as the name suggests, is a system which has a single rail instead of conventional system which has got two rails. But it is a misnomer. In fact, in place of rails, it has a single broad beam which supports the carriages. However, above the beam, the carriages have conventional syste...

Pleasure of knowing-Microwave vs induction stove

What is difference between working principles of microwave oven and induction stove? Why are only stainless steel vessels preferred for the induction stove instead of copper, brass and aluminium, which are good conductors of heat? While there is some similarity in the working of microwave oven and i...
