Vertical heterostructure III-V nanowire MOSFETs

Om bilar hade utvecklats så snabbt som processorer skulle de färdas i en hastighet på 760,000 km/h, gå 42 000 km per liter och kosta 25 öre" hävdar Paul Ottelini, Intel VD mellan 2005-2013. Detta påminner oss om vilken rasande fart utvecklingen har inom nanoelektronik branschen där elektroniska kretsar ständigt blivit billigare samt mindre under det senaste halvseklet. Miniatyriseringen har fIf cars had developed as fast as processors they would go at 470,000 mph, get 100,000 miles to the gallon, and cost 3 cents" claims Paul Ottelini, Intel CEO 2005-2013. This serves as a reminder of how fast the field of nanoelectronics is developing due to constant demand for faster and more energy efficient integrated circuits. The still ongoing electronics revolution was accelerated by the i

Clustering of back-end failures in automated testing

Automated Software testing is becoming increasingly popular, which in turn creates more information that has to be analyzed. At the software company Qlik a tool called NIOCAT is used to create clusters of failed test cases thought to originate from the same code defect. The clustering is done in order to decrease the ever increasing amount of manual analysis needed to be done with regards to softw
