Photonics play a significant role by improving the different kinds of applications that are used in an increasing number of fields. It provides a better and unique solutions which create a better world for us to live in, whereby the technologies today are improving in terms of speed, capacity and accuracy. It shows us the importance of the impact of photonics in our daily lives. As we know lights are very important in our daily lives whereby everyone uses it every day. Without light, we will be…

ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY IN SINGAPORE INTRODUCTION Singapore Electronic Industry started 50 years ago in the 1960s with its first and only TV Assembly plant in Southeast Asia. And today, Singapore Electronic Industry has become the backbone of Singapore’s economy, contributing 5.3% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2013, 29% of total manufacturing output, and employed 80,000 workers, representing 19% of the total manufacturing labour force in Singapore (EDB, n.d). Due to the…

3, 2015, Micron has a P/E ratio of 8.66. Over the past 13 years, the highest P/E ratio of Micron was 115.75 and the lowest was 3.54. The overall median is 17.92. MU’s P/E ratio is ranked higher than 97% of the 1178 companies within the Global Semiconductor Memory Industry. This shows a positive sign of growth and that MU is outperforming other companies. The return on assets is 17.82% (as of Nov. 2014), while the minimum is -17.31% and the max was 18.39%. MU is also ranked higher than 97% of its…

INTEL INTRODUCTION Intel is the world’s largest company in the manufacturing of semiconductors, holding about 80% of the market share for microprocessors in desktop and electronics devices (Randewich 2012). Among computer manufacturers, Dell and Hewlett-Packard are the Intel’s two largest customer. In addition, Intel also takes part in embedded semiconductors for the industrials, from medical to military. Figure 1: An Intel’s logo BACKGROUND Intel was formed by Robert N. Noyce, cofounder of…

Task 1: Working of Microsoft Kinect 3D Camera Kinect is a motion sensing input device developed by Microsoft for Xbox 360 and other gaming consoles. It enables users to control and interact with their console without the need of a game controller. It uses a natural interface using gestures and spoken commands. Microsoft developed a system that can interpret specific gesture, thus making hands-free control of devices by using an infrared projector, camera and a microchip to track movement of…

Those devices could then be used to create the semiconductors and microprocessors which power our modern society.The EMP as an apocalyptic event really couldn't work as it would only reduce mankind to a pre-semiconductor era of technology. While that would cause serious problems,especially in the major urban areas, it wouldn't take more than years for mankind to recover and to reach his former levels of advancement. After all, the devices have already been invented, so they…

engraves it as an prominent semiconductor material for many electronic and optoelectronic devices[18]. • The wide and direct energy band gap sorts GaN as an appropriate materials for device fabrication in the field of optoelectronics emitters (LEDs and diodes lasers) and detectors. • Moreover the higher thermal stability along with the wide energy band gap makes GaN beneficial for high-temperature (HT) and high power electronics applications. It implies that GaN power devices reduces the high…

Nanocrystals (NCs) are interesting material, as their electrical and optical properties can be tuned by tuning their size or surface area. They have diverse applications in electrical devices. Nanocrystal thin film transistors (NC TFTs) have been intensively researched, because of their low-temperature processability.1,2 Colloidal NCs are synthesized in a liquid solution containing some stabilizing organic molecules, broadly termed as surfactants, which are bulky and insulating ligands. The…

satisfied and costs down is a big challenge for high tech industries. Altera Corp., California-based chipmaker (Programmable Logic Devices - PLDs) recognized these challenges in-built in its industry hence it was forced to write-off their inventory stock totaling a mammoth $115 million dollars. Altera is a fabless chipmaker which outsources its chip wafers to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation.…

Solar Energy Energy is considered as the most important issue of the 21st century. About 85% of today’s modern world use of energy comes from fossil fuels (Blah Blah). These particular resources, fossil fuels, are finite in quantity, and has been a major cause of air pollution and global warming. Scientists are finding alternative sources of energy to solve the century’s puzzle, a resource which is renewable, natural and efficient such as solar energy. Over 2700 years ago, people have been…
