But the UK semiconductor industry is quietly bouncing back. A new wave of companies is focusing on microchips designed for ...

Silicon carbide, for instance, must be grown under extreme temperatures and pressures over the course of a week, forming a small cylindrical crystal—or boule—often less than 5cm long.

The silicon carbide (SiC) industry is growing in many markets ... These range from scaling manufacturing with larger-diameter single-crystal wafers, improving performance, defectivity and yield. All ...

If you want to grow a flawless silicon crystal, the kind used at the heart of every microprocessor, you need HPQ crucibles to handle the searing heat without contamination. It’s also a must for ...

But if a silicon crystal chip in a computer can store gigabytes of memory, then why shouldn't a piece of raw quartz crystal contain secrets of its own? But what might that information be?
