An Introduction to Lasers for the Non-Specialist

Submitted by supa_admin on

THE CLIENT: Coherent Scotland Ltd, Thales Optronics Ltd, SELEX Galileo Ltd, GMI UK Ltd

THE BACKGROUND: The Institute of Photonics, at the University of Strathclyde, conducted a survey into industry’s needs for training in photonics. An unexpected request came back strongly from two of the Institute’s existing company partners: an introduction to lasers for the non-specialist.

III-V MOSFETs for Ultimate CMOS

Submitted by supa_admin on

THE CLIENT: Freescale Semiconductors

THE BACKGROUND: The continued decrease in the size of silicon MOSFETs is slowing down and there is doubt whether they can continue below the 20nm technology node using the planar technology currently employed. Thus the use of higher mobility materials is being investigated, in particular III-V materials for n-type and Ge for p-type devices.
