- New massively parallel architecture delivers up to 5X better performance than competing solutions
- TSMC certified for 16nm FinFET designs, with best-in-class accuracy
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global electronic design innovation, today announced Cadence® Quantus(TM) QRC Extraction Solution, its next-generation tool for RC extraction. With its massively parallel architecture, Quantus QRC Extraction Solution accelerates design signoff and sets a new standard for performance by delivering up to 5X faster runtime for single and multi-corner extraction versus competing solutions. Additionally, its accuracy and FinFET functionality have been certified at TSMC.
Quantus QRC Extraction Solution leverages the high-accuracy modeling engine from Cadence's previous-generation QRC Extraction product, ensuring direct compatibility and fully certified libraries for all foundries for existing users of QRC Extraction. The new tool also provides significant enhancements to support FinFET features. It includes the same market-leading custom/analog functionality of QRC Extraction, and supports the same foundry-certified and -qualified "qrctechfiles." In addition, Quantus QRC Extraction Solution is proven to have the tightest correlation to foundry golden data at TSMC versus competing solutions.
Quantus QRC Extraction Solution supports both system-on-chip (SoC) and custom/analog designs and includes a new foundry-certified integrated random-walk field solver called Quantus FS, which is up to 5X faster and provides better throughput versus competing solutions. An automated incremental extraction capability reduces design closure turnaround time with up to an additional 3X performance improvement with Cadence Encounter® Digital Implementation System and Tempus(TM) Timing Signoff Solution. In-design signoff methodology has been enhanced in both Encounter and Virtuoso platforms.
"After validating the runtimes of Cadence's Quantus QRC Extraction Solution on benchmark designs, we have determined that it offers significant improvements without compromising signoff accuracy," said Sumbal Rafiq, director of Engineering at AppliedMicro. "Quantus QRC Extraction Solution's ability to perform multi-corner extraction in a single run using foundry-certified accuracy enables notable design implementation time improvements. This is a well integrated solution that complements Cadence's existing Encounter Digital Implementation tool."
"Despite increasing SoC design sizes and interconnect process corners at advanced nodes, Open-Silicon has achieved design closure quickly by using the Quantus QRC Extraction Solution along with its best-in-class design methodologies and tools," said Radhakrishnan Pasirajan, vice president of Silicon Engineering at Open-Silicon. "As a company that consistently achieves first-pass silicon success, Open-Silicon relies on the massive parallelism and accuracy of this tool to achieve significant performance improvement in its designs. Its scaling capability to utilize hundreds of CPUs, allows our designers to quickly navigate through signoff extraction bottlenecks during tapeout."
"Our customers have emphasized that it is imperative for a signoff parasitic extraction tool to provide the highest accuracy with the fastest turnaround time to ensure timely design closure," said Anirudh Devgan, senior vice president of the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence. "Quantus QRC Extraction Solution has been proven to provide best-in-class accuracy for FinFET designs and deliver significantly better performance versus competing solutions."

New Eyeglass Lens Helps Our Eyes Keep Up with our Digital Lives
ZEISS Introduces Digital Lens; A Real Solution to Digital Eye Strain
SAN DIEGO, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --More than any other generation, Millennials born in the 80s and 90s love their smartphones and tablet computers -- but their eyes don't. These mobile devices demand a type of vision that humans have never needed before, and the eye has not evolved to cope with them. The gap between our digital lives and what our eyes can do comfortably often results in tired eyes, focusing problems, headaches and neck pain - symptoms collectively known as Digital Eye Strain. Now ZEISS has invented a new type of lens for the way we use our eyes today: ZEISS Digital Lens.
"The viewing distance and screen resolution of mobile digital devices, and the fact that we are generally multi-tasking when we use them, make the eyes work harder to maintain focus," said Uli Krauss, Chairman and CEO of Carl Zeiss Vision North America. "The traditional eyeglass lenses prescribed to Millennials no longer meet their full vision need. For patients wearing distance-only glasses, or none at all, ZEISS Digital Lens provides more comfortable vision all day long, and relief for those who are experiencing Digital Eye Strain."
According to a recent study(1), nearly 70% of U.S. adults experience symptoms of Digital Eye Strain resulting from digital device use. Symptoms are prevalent among adults aged 18 to 54, and most common at the younger end of the range. ZEISS Digital Lenses help the eyes keep up with our digital lives by providing a wide, clear view of the world around us, while incorporating an area of extra focusing power designed specifically for viewing digital devices. Wearer trials show that wearing ZEISS Digital Lens reduced reported Digital Eye Strain by more than 50%.(2)
"Mobile digital devices are an integral part of our daily lives," continued Krauss. "No one is going to give up their smartphone because it puts a strain on their eyes. Now, with the introduction of ZEISS Digital Lens, wearers can have the digital lives they want and the comfortable vision they need."

Chemring Technology Solutions Develops the World's First Miniaturised GPS Anti-jamming Technology
ROMSEY, England, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Visit Chemring Technology Solutions at Stand 2C28D, Farnborough Airshow, 14
- 20 July
Chemring Technology Solutions [http://www.chemringts.com ] has developed GINCAN - the
world's first miniaturised GPS anti-jamming technology.
GINCAN [http://www.gincan.com ] will combat illegal GPS jammers and is based on the
adaptive antenna concept used by military systems. Chemring Technology Solutions has
developed the smallest size, weight and lowest power solution available on the market
today, with a chip footprint of only six millimetres-squared.
GINCAN's reduced size and weight will significantly cut power usage and cost, making
it ideal for combatting the widespread problem of low powered GPS-jamming. GINCAN can be
integrated into a range of applications, including in-vehicle satellite navigation
systems, cellular technology and be used for the protection of the critical
infrastructures which rely on GPS to provide positioning and timing.
GPS jammers have already been developed to interfere with the European Union's Galileo
system, which will provide European satellite navigation independently from the Russian,
USA and Chinese systems by 2019. Chemring Technology Solutions has anticipated this
problem and its GPS anti-jamming technology will also support systems using Galileo.
Once the preserve of the military, there is now an increasing demand for GPS
protection in the civilian market as illegal GPS jamming equipment becomes widely
available on the Internet. The GBP1.5 million government-funded Sentinel project, designed
to measure GPS jamming on UK roads, recorded more than 60 individual jamming incidents
across six months at a single location. Such attacks could seriously impact industries,
including maritime, aerospace, the emergency services and even stock market trading.
Martin Ward, Product Manager, Chemring Technology Solutions, said: "Many years of
developing GPS protection technology for the military has enabled our research and
development team to miniaturise anti-jamming technology. GINCAN can now be easily
integrated in to a range of applications to provide effective protection against jamming
devices."
"As we become increasingly reliant on GPS technology, and low-cost jammers are
proliferating, so a potential time bomb is being created. Chemring Technology Solutions is
now able to offer the answer to this problem with jammer protection at a reduced size,
weight, power and cost footprint."
GINCAN is an export controlled product and subject to UK export restrictions.
Chemring Technology Solutions, based in Hampshire and Dorset, is the principal
electronics research and development centre of Chemring Group. Comprising of Roke Manor
Research Ltd and Chemring EOD Ltd, Chemring Technology Solutions is one of the UK's
leading suppliers of innovative solutions, product development and contract R&D. With more
than 400 patents, it has a heritage of pioneering developments in electronic sensors,
networks and communications technology.

Trimble Introduces Apple iOS Support in Latest Release of its ThingMagic Mercury API
Extensive and Intuitive RFID Software Development Kit Strengthened by More Universal Compatibility
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the addition of Apple iOS compatibility enhancements to the ThingMagic® Mercury® API software development kit. The latest enhancements to the Mercury API address the growing demand from end users who want to use consumer mobile devices--smartphones and tablets--as an alternative to handheld computers for RFID applications. The addition of iOS support represents the next step in expanding the breadth of application uses for ThingMagic's Mercury API, an extensive software development kit that offers a consistent programmatic interface across all ThingMagic finished and embedded reader products.
"Feedback from RFID end users has shown an increased demand to use the most popular mobile devices and operating systems. We first responded with Android support in the last release of our Mercury API and have now added iOS support," said Tom Grant, general manager of ThingMagic. "By adding iOS support to the Mercury API we are expanding the population of devices that can manage and control ThingMagic embedded modules and finished readers to implement an RFID solution."
Using a smartphone or tablet with an RFID reader attached as a sled, dongle or connected via Bluetooth offers an attractive solution to developers and users compared to costly handheld computers. The value in opening up the development possibilities clears the way for more applications and supports the trend toward enabling a true Internet of Things. The Mercury API software development kit is a blanket offering for customers of all ThingMagic fixed and embedded readers. In addition, its inclusion with products such as the Mercury xPRESS flexible development platform offers a more comprehensive approach to delivering RFID solutions to a wider variety of vertical markets. Having more development options can enable new projects in retail, medical, manufacturing, logistics and transportation, among other markets that have made limited use of RFID.
The ThingMagic Mercury API removes complexities and speeds time to deployment for system integrators and OEMs developing solutions with ThingMagic readers and embedded modules, who will now benefit from support of a greater breadth of operating systems. Intuitively designed and supported by a significant volume of documentation, the Mercury API requires little RFID expertise and enables developers to rapidly design and test:
-- Reader and tag commands
-- Advanced read functionality such as setting antennas, protocols and
filtering criteria
-- Advanced tag operations such as killing and locking tags
-- Privacy and security features
-- Performance and memory optimization
Availability
Mercury API version 1.23 is available now. Enhancements to the API enable an easy "out-of-the-box" solution for developers with the inclusion of a sample iOS application. Existing ThingMagic customers with a current support contract can download the API from the support portal on the ThingMagic Website. For more information, please contact ThingMagic sales at: sales@thingmagic.com or +1-866-833-4069. International dialers call +1 617-499-4090.

NEUSTADT AN DER AISCH, Germany and LONDON, July 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
- Ordered today, delivered tomorrow in XXL custom sizes
The Onlineprinters online print shop has launched a new high-speed UV roll-to-roll
printer for printing mesh and PVC tarpaulins in premium digital printing quality. "The new
Durst Rho 312R roll-to-roll printer enables customised large-format printing on tarpaulins
and mesh in excellent image quality rarely available in the market for outdoor
advertising," Julia Voigt, Marketing Manager of Onlineprinters GmbH, explains.
"The 'fine-art' image quality is ensured by a 6-colour UV ink set that includes light
cyan and light magenta and by the intelligent Variodrop technology with particularly high
pigment concentration and a resolution of 900 dpi in the printing system. This technology
yields warmer colours and homogenous coloured areas with a soft look. This enables our
customers to present expressive and colourful advertising messages at the point of sale
for a highly detailed representation of the image even up close," Julia Voigt sums up the
top quality of the large format digitally printed products in the online shop at http://www.onlineprinters.co.uk.
Weather-resistant ecologically sound XXL tarpaulins in custom sizes
Classic advertising space for PVC tarpaulins and mesh fabric includes scaffoldings,
hoardings, bridge railings and any type of barrier. Rugged, weather-resistant and
lightfast, the tarpaulins are an integral part of outdoor advertising for exhibitions and
trade shows, festivals, sports events and many more occasions. The truck tarpaulins and
mesh fabrics are printed with ecologically sound UV inks (fire protection class B1) and
are conveniently usable for indoor advertising or in the entrance area of shops. Online
customers can order their custom-sized PVC tarpaulins from 100 x 100 cm up to 400 x 200 cm
in the online shop. The new high-speed UV roll-to-roll printer even enables custom formats
for PVC tarpaulins and mesh fabrics with a roll width of up to 3.20 metres and a maximum
roll length of 100 metres so that even unusually large formats such as facade advertising
with up to an 300 square metres printed area can be realized.
Ordered today, delivered tomorrow: "same day printing" for many print orders
"Ordered today, delivered tomorrow: the ongoing trend towards shorter delivery times
is also affecting the printing industry," Julia Voigt says. "The new printer allows us to
respond to customer orders for large format digital printing at http://www.onlineprinters.co.uk by offering premium quality and ultra-fast production
times. Our customers all over Europe expect their print products to be produced and
delivered more quickly." There is an increasing trend towards ordering with the "same day

First 8Gb DDR3 Components and 16GB Unbuffered DIMMs & SO-DIMMs by I'M Intelligent Memory
HONG KONG, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
I'M Intelligent Memory, a Hong Kong based fabless DRAM manufacturer, announces
availability of the world's first 8 Gigabit (Gb) DDR3 components with a single
chip-select, doubling the amount of memory per chip compared to other DDR3 DRAM devices on
the market. Based on these new 8Gb components, I'M is also introducing the first 16
Gigabyte (GB) DDR3 UDIMM and SO-DIMM memory modules with optional ECC error-correction.
The JEDEC specification JESD79-3 has always allowed an 8Gb density for DDR3 memory
devices. While most DRAM manufactures are waiting for a 2x nm process to fit such high
memory capacity into a single DRAM IC package, I'M has developed its own a revolutionary
way to manufacture 8Gb DDR3 components with single chip-select utilizing existing 30nm
manufacturing technologies.
The I'M 8Gb components are 100% compatible with the JEDEC standard pinout, timing and
row/column/bank addressing, providing the simplest path to higher density DDR3 upgrades.
These devices allow for a new level of memory capacity without altering existing
board-layouts or designs.
Orderable devices include a x8 (1Gx8) configuration in FBGA 78 ball package, a x16
(512Mx16) type in FBGA 96 ball package as well as a x32 (256Mx32) configuration in FBGA
136 ball package. In addition, I'M offers DDR3L low-voltage (1.35V) versions of these
devices. The products are available in commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
Based on their new 8Gb device, I'M releases the very first 16GB DDR3 240 Pin
unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs) and 204 Pin SO-DIMMs to the market. These new high-capacity
memory modules are also available with a 72 Bit width for ECC error correction.
The 8Gb components and 16GB modules have been verified to be compatible with
processors and microcontrollers from AMD, Cavium, Freescale, Tilera and many others.
Intel currently supports 8Gb components and 16GB modules only on their Atom C2000
series (Codename 'Avoton') and Atom E3800 (Baytrail-I) processor series. New BIOS versions
for these platforms are required to use the memory and are available now.
For most standard Intel processors that are used in desktop PC's, laptops or servers,
Intel is not yet supporting the new high capacity memories. According to Intel, "it is not
POR" (-> Plan Of Record) for them to analyze the possibility to support them, unless they
can see a demand from the market for these new memory products.
Notebook, PC and motherboard manufacturers such as HP, Lenovo, Apple, Dell or others
may contact their Intel field representative to push and request a change of Intel's POR
to support the new memory through future BIOS/MRC updates. End-Customer may contact their
board-manufacturers customer-support to ask for compatibility of the memories. I'M is also
working with Intel to address this gap.
ASUS confirmed that it is now possible to upgrade their X79-DELUXE, RAMPAGE IV BLACK
EDITION and other ASUS X79 platform motherboards with 8 pieces of IM 16GB DDR3 modules to
reach a total of 128GB memory utilizing their newest own BIOS/MRC. Most Intel
LGA-2011-socket CPUs like Sandybridge E or Ivybridge E can be used on these ASUS X79
motherboards. By offering their own special BIOS and Memory Reference Code to support the
new memory on Intel CPU's, ASUS shows their engineering-expertise for high-end products.
Motherboard manufacturers such as ASRock, Supermicro, AIC, Portwell and others have
verified and approved the IM 16GB DDR3 memory modules for many motherboards based on AMD,
Tilera, Intel's C2000 'Avoton' series and other processors already.
The German company Rausch Netzwerktechnik announced their Intel Avoton-based 'Tormenta
Megacore Blade-System' to be upgradable to an impressive 12,800 GB of RAM with Intelligent
Memory 16GB ECC SO-DIMMs.
With the new I'M Intelligent Memory 8Gb DDR3 chips and high density DDR3 modules, I'M
sees potential markets in embedded/industrial, networking and telecommunication
applications, as well as PC, laptops, servers and microservers, allowing to reach
previously unattainable memory capacities.
I'M Intelligent Memory is a Hong Kong based joint-venture of industry experts and
companies with one common mindset: "Making innovative and better DRAM memory products that
meet the future demands of our industry with the highest capacities, quality and
longevity." I'M Intelligent Memory is a fabless DRAM manufacturer and offers a set of
memory DRAM products going beyond standards by doubling memory capacity, increasing
temperature ranges, offering higher reliability and extending long-term-availability.

The new GigaVUE-HC2 modules extend the power of the Visibility Fabric with Active Visibility, utilizing intelligence and robust bypass capabilities to better protect both critical IT traffic and the inline tools designed to prevent malicious activity. Advanced threats require more sophisticated tools, but these specialized security tools are often processor-bound and may not be able to handle increasing traffic volumes as effectively. Gigamon's Visibility Fabric establishes a more efficient system by sending only the appropriate data to each tool. In addition, the Visibility Fabric continuously monitors the health of the attached inline tools and in the event of a tool failure will bypass the outage to ensure the network remains available and protected. For example, an inline appliance can be removed for maintenance while allowing network traffic to be sustained.
"The security of our organization and the data that we maintain are of the utmost importance to us as a leading healthcare network. Securing these requires a diligent mindset, pervasive visibility and a multi-tiered security architecture," said J. Scott Haugdahl, a principal architect at Minnesota's leading health plan organization. "Gigamon's Visibility Fabric gives us visibility and enables tremendous collaboration across the silos of the IT organization to the various security tools that keep our organization, and the data we keep, safe. This ensures that our network of providers and members has secure access to the information they need when they need it."
Gigamon's Visibility Fabric unifies visibility for both packets and flows and allows security teams to rapidly shift traffic from one device to another, eliminating the need to wait days, weeks or months for a maintenance window. The new forthcoming front-facing GigaSMART® modules increase the compute power of the GigaVUE-HC2 so that one chassis can be populated with up to five processing engines, providing scalable traffic intelligence for the offloading of traffic to certain tools and increased NetFlow generation for those security offerings that utilize that data.
"The changing threat landscape is forcing organizations to fundamentally rethink their approach to security architecture to keep advanced threats at bay," said Steve Pataky, senior vice president of worldwide channels and alliance at FireEye. "Gigamon's ability to load balance traffic across multiple solutions in the FireEye platform, whether inline or out-of-band, makes them an ideal partner to enable organizations to detect and mitigate the latest cyber threats. As the FireEye platform expands, customers will be able to scale out their security architecture, move the products inline and deploy high availability pairs to improve their overall security posture."
"Gigamon and ForeScout provide IT teams with tremendous infrastructure insight and response capabilities," said Gil Friedrich, vice president of technology at ForeScout. "There's a lot of operational data in the enterprise and our joint customers are able to derive security intelligence from that data while responding to changes and issues in real time. Gigamon facilitates CounterACT's ability to receive timely and broad context via our ControlFabric architecture to ensure continuous monitoring, analytics and automated response to compliance and threat exposures."

IBM Announces $3 Billion Research Initiative To Tackle Chip Grand Challenges For Cloud And Big Data Systems
Scientists and engineers to push limits of silicon technology to 7 nanometers and below and create post-silicon future
ARMONK, N.Y., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced it is investing $3 billion over the next 5 years in two broad research and early stage development programs to push the limits of chip technology needed to meet the emerging demands of cloud computing and Big Data systems. These investments will push IBM's semiconductor innovations from today's breakthroughs into the advanced technology leadership required for the future.
The first research program is aimed at so-called "7 nanometer and beyond" silicon technology that will address serious physical challenges that are threatening current semiconductor scaling techniques and will impede the ability to manufacture such chips. The second is focused on developing alternative technologies for post-silicon era chips using entirely different approaches, which IBM scientists and other experts say are required because of the physical limitations of silicon based semiconductors.
Cloud and big data applications are placing new challenges on systems, just as the underlying chip technology is facing numerous significant physical scaling limits. Bandwidth to memory, high speed communication and device power consumption are becoming increasingly challenging and critical.
The teams will comprise IBM Research scientists and engineers from Albany and Yorktown, New York; Almaden, California; and Europe. In particular, IBM will be investing significantly in emerging areas of research that are already underway at IBM such as carbon nanoelectronics, silicon photonics, new memory technologies, and architectures that support quantum and cognitive computing.
These teams will focus on providing orders of magnitude improvement in system level performance and energy efficient computing. In addition, IBM will continue to invest in the nanosciences and quantum computing--two areas of fundamental science where IBM has remained a pioneer for over three decades.
7 nanometer technology and beyond
IBM Researchers and other semiconductor experts predict that while challenging, semiconductors show promise to scale from today's 22 nanometers down to 14 and then 10 nanometers in the next several years. However, scaling to 7 nanometers and perhaps below, by the end of the decade will require significant investment and innovation in semiconductor architectures as well as invention of new tools and techniques for manufacturing.
"The question is not if we will introduce 7 nanometer technology into manufacturing, but rather how, when, and at what cost?" said John Kelly, senior vice president, IBM Research. "IBM engineers and scientists, along with our partners, are well suited for this challenge and are already working on the materials science and device engineering required to meet the demands of the emerging system requirements for cloud, big data, and cognitive systems. This new investment will ensure that we produce the necessary innovations to meet these challenges."
"Scaling to 7nm and below is a terrific challenge, calling for deep physics competencies in processing nano materials affinities and characteristics. IBM is one of a very few companies who has repeatedly demonstrated this level of science and engineering expertise," said Richard Doherty, technology research director, The Envisioneering Group.
Bridge to a "Post-Silicon" Era
Silicon transistors, tiny switches that carry information on a chip, have been made smaller year after year, but they are approaching a point of physical limitation. Their increasingly small dimensions, now reaching the nanoscale, will prohibit any gains in performance due to the nature of silicon and the laws of physics. Within a few more generations, classical scaling and shrinkage will no longer yield the sizable benefits of lower power, lower cost and higher speed processors that the industry has become accustomed to.
With virtually all electronic equipment today built on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, there is an urgent need for new materials and circuit architecture designs compatible with this engineering process as the technology industry nears physical scalability limits of the silicon transistor.
Beyond 7 nanometers, the challenges dramatically increase, requiring a new kind of material to power systems of the future, and new computing platforms to solve problems that are unsolvable or difficult to solve today. Potential alternatives include new materials such as carbon nanotubes, and non-traditional computational approaches such as neuromorphic computing, cognitive computing, machine learning techniques, and the science behind quantum computing.
As the leader in advanced schemes that point beyond traditional silicon-based computing, IBM holds over 500 patents for technologies that will drive advancements at 7nm and beyond silicon -- more than twice the nearest competitor. These continued investments will accelerate the invention and introduction into product development for IBM's highly differentiated computing systems for cloud, and big data analytics.
Several exploratory research breakthroughs that could lead to major advancements in delivering dramatically smaller, faster and more powerful computer chips, include quantum computing, neurosynaptic computing, silicon photonics, carbon nanotubes, III-V technologies, low power transistors and graphene:
Quantum Computing
The most basic piece of information that a typical computer understands is a bit. Much like a light that can be switched on or off, a bit can have only one of two values: "1" or "0." Described as superposition, this special property of qubits enables quantum computers to weed through millions of solutions all at once, while desktop PCs would have to consider them one at a time.
IBM is a world leader in superconducting qubit-based quantum computing science and is a pioneer in the field of experimental and theoretical quantum information, fields that are still in the category of fundamental science - but one that, in the long term, may allow the solution of problems that are today either impossible or impractical to solve using conventional machines. The team recently demonstrated the first experimental realization of parity check with three superconducting qubits, an essential building block for one type of quantum computer.
Neurosynaptic Computing
Bringing together nanoscience, neuroscience, and supercomputing, IBM and university partners have developed an end-to-end ecosystem including a novel non-von Neumann architecture, a new programming language, as well as applications. This novel technology allows for computing systems that emulate the brain's computing efficiency, size and power usage. IBM's long-term goal is to build a neurosynaptic system with ten billion neurons and a hundred trillion synapses, all while consuming only one kilowatt of power and occupying less than two liters of volume.
Silicon Photonics
IBM has been a pioneer in the area of CMOS integrated silicon photonics for over 12 years, a technology that integrates functions for optical communications on a silicon chip, and the IBM team has recently designed and fabricated the world's first monolithic silicon photonics based transceiver with wavelength division multiplexing. Such transceivers will use light to transmit data between different components in a computing system at high data rates, low cost, and in an energetically efficient manner.
Silicon nanophotonics takes advantage of pulses of light for communication rather than traditional copper wiring and provides a super highway for large volumes of data to move at rapid speeds between computer chips in servers, large datacenters, and supercomputers, thus alleviating the limitations of congested data traffic and high-cost traditional interconnects.
Businesses are entering a new era of computing that requires systems to process and analyze, in real-time, huge volumes of information known as Big Data. Silicon nanophotonics technology provides answers to Big Data challenges by seamlessly connecting various parts of large systems, whether few centimeters or few kilometers apart from each other, and move terabytes of data via pulses of light through optical fibers.
III-V technologies
IBM researchers have demonstrated the world's highest transconductance on a self-aligned III-V channel metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) field-effect transistors (FETs) device structure that is compatible with CMOS scaling. These materials and structural innovation are expected to pave path for technology scaling at 7nm and beyond. With more than an order of magnitude higher electron mobility than silicon, integrating III-V materials into CMOS enables higher performance at lower power density, allowing for an extension to power/performance scaling to meet the demands of cloud computing and big data systems.
Carbon Nanotubes
IBM Researchers are working in the area of carbon nanotube (CNT) electronics and exploring whether CNTs can replace silicon beyond the 7 nm node. As part of its activities for developing carbon nanotube based CMOS VLSI circuits, IBM recently demonstrated -- for the first time in the world -- 2-way CMOS NAND gates using 50 nm gate length carbon nanotube transistors.
IBM also has demonstrated the capability for purifying carbon nanotubes to 99.99 percent, the highest (verified) purities demonstrated to date, and transistors at 10 nm channel length that show no degradation due to scaling--this is unmatched by any other material system to date.
Carbon nanotubes are single atomic sheets of carbon rolled up into a tube. The carbon nanotubes form the core of a transistor device that will work in a fashion similar to the current silicon transistor, but will be better performing. They could be used to replace the transistors in chips that power data-crunching servers, high performing computers and ultra fast smart phones.
Carbon nanotube transistors can operate as excellent switches at molecular dimensions of less than ten nanometers - the equivalent to 10,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair and less than half the size of the leading silicon technology. Comprehensive modeling of the electronic circuits suggests that about a five to ten times improvement in performance compared to silicon circuits is possible.
Graphene
Graphene is pure carbon in the form of a one atomic layer thick sheet. It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, and it is also remarkably strong and flexible. Electrons can move in graphene about ten times faster than in commonly used semiconductor materials such as silicon and silicon germanium. Its characteristics offer the possibility to build faster switching transistors than are possible with conventional semiconductors, particularly for applications in the handheld wireless communications business where it will be a more efficient switch than those currently used.
Recently in 2013, IBM demonstrated the world's first graphene based integrated circuit receiver front end for wireless communications. The circuit consisted of a 2-stage amplifier and a down converter operating at 4.3 GHz.
Next Generation Low Power Transistors
In addition to new materials like CNTs, new architectures and innovative device concepts are required to boost future system performance. Power dissipation is a fundamental challenge for nanoelectronic circuits. To explain the challenge, consider a leaky water faucet -- even after closing the valve as far as possible water continues to drip -- this is similar to today's transistor, in that energy is constantly "leaking" or being lost or wasted in the off-state.
A potential alternative to today's power hungry silicon field effect transistors are so-called steep slope devices. They could operate at much lower voltage and thus dissipate significantly less power. IBM scientists are researching tunnel field effect transistors (TFETs). In this special type of transistors the quantum-mechanical effect of band-to-band tunneling is used to drive the current flow through the transistor. TFETs could achieve a 100-fold power reduction over complementary CMOS transistors, so integrating TFETs with CMOS technology could improve low-power integrated circuits.
Recently, IBM has developed a novel method to integrate III-V nanowires and heterostructures directly on standard silicon substrates and built the first ever InAs/Si tunnel diodes and TFETs using InAs as source and Si as channel with wrap-around gate as steep slope device for low power consumption applications.
"In the next ten years computing hardware systems will be fundamentally different as our scientists and engineers push the limits of semiconductor innovations to explore the post-silicon future," said Tom Rosamilia, senior vice president, IBM Systems and Technology Group. "IBM Research and Development teams are creating breakthrough innovations that will fuel the next era of computing systems."
IBM's historic contributions to silicon and semiconductor innovation include the invention and/or first implementation of: the single cell DRAM, the "Dennard scaling laws" underpinning "Moore's Law", chemically amplified photoresists, copper interconnect wiring, Silicon on Insulator, strained engineering, multi core microprocessors, immersion lithography, high speed silicon germanium (SiGe), High-k gate dielectrics, embedded DRAM, 3D chip stacking, and Air gap insulators.
IBM researchers also are credited with initiating the era of nano devices following the Nobel prize winning invention of the scanning tunneling microscope which enabled nano and atomic scale invention and innovation.
IBM will also continue to fund and collaborate with university researchers to explore and develop the future technologies for the semiconductor industry. In particular, IBM will continue to support and fund university research through private-public partnerships such as the NanoElectornics Research Initiative (NRI), and the Semiconductor Advanced Research Network (STARnet), and the Global Research Consortium (GRC) of the Semiconductor Research Corporation.

Meet Tango PC, the desktop computer that can fit in your pocket
SAN DIEGO, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- After raising over $300,000 during a hugely successful crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo earlier this year, the team behind the Tango PC has taken to Kickstarter to raise additional funds to support retailing their PC you can fit in your pocket. Not only is the Tango PC ultraportable, it is a formidable office as well as entertainment machine with mid-core gaming performance on traditional Windows.
The Tango Kickstarter Campaign got fully funded just a day ago, and with only a day or so more to go, the consumers still can back their campaign in return of not just the Tango PC, but also a free additional PC whenever their worldwide sales reaches a 100k units milestone.
What really stands out is that the Tango PC is slim and weighs below 7 ounces, fitting what amounts to a full range of desktop components in a package about the size of an iPhone 5s. The specifications include an AMD A6-5200 2 GHz quad-core processor, DDR3 RAM (from 2-8GB), SSD hard drive (from 32GB-1TB or higher), 3x USB 2.0 ports, 1x USB 3.0 port, 1x HDMI port, headphone jack and internal Wi-Fi.
As for the operating system, Windows 7/8 is certified to run on Tango, but any OS compatible with a laptop PC should work, such as Linux, Unix and Chromium OS. In other words, Tango could potentially be your next cell phone sized Steam Machine.
The slim and tiny docking stations priced just at $99 each ($89 on KickStarter) can replace expensive desktops, IPTV boxes and older gaming consoles, and thus can save money on hardware and software because users can just carry one PC for everything everywhere.
Be sure to check out the Live demo video and their Kickstarter Campaign which ends in a day or so at the time of writing.
