HOD HASHARON, Israel and BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota, U.S. – November 8, 2022 – Weebit Nano Limited (ASX:WBT), a leading developer of next-generation memory technologies for the global semiconductor industry, and SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realisation partner, announce the first silicon wafers integrating Weebit’s embedded Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM) module

Introduction to Extrinsic Semiconductors

In this article we will discuss extrinsic semiconductors. In short extrinsic semiconductors are devices that have been doped with specific chemicals. This process helps modifying the electrical properties of a relatively pure semiconductor crystal.
 
Intrinsic (pure semiconductor) or un-doped semiconductors have free electrons and holes. Both of them are

GlobalFoundries joins Google’s open source silicon initiative

Over the last year we have been busy planning the expansion of our free open source silicon design and manufacturing program to further grow the community of developers and companies building custom silicon, and build a thriving ecosystem around open source hardware.

 
Today, we’re excited to announce
