Silicene: Genesis, remarkable discoveries, and legacy

In the realm of two-dimensional (2D) materials, besides the ones initially peeled from lamellar crystals, the artificial emerging elemental ones, called Xenes, appear as strong contenders to graphene in a booming new field.The very first synthetic Xene was silicene, created in 2012.On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, this concise review, desc

Investigation of TSV Liner Interface With Multiwell Structured TSV to Suppress Noise Propagation in Mixed-Signal 3D-IC

Mixed-signal 3D-ICs have a stacked structure of digital and analog circuit chips.In this study, Perfume the effect of noise propagation from a digital circuit on an analog circuit was evaluated using an actual mixed-signal 3D-IC.The noise propagation via through-silicon vias (TSVs) was measured, with a ring-oscillator as a noise source.For a compre
