November 2009 story tips from the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory Nov 6, 2009
By discovering a technique to guide the ferroelectric switching process in bismuth ferrite, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Nina Balke has moved one step closer to developing more rugged memory and logic devices. One key to the success is that the material has both electrical and magnetic properties at the same time, which is unusual. (EurekAlert!)

Global "core silicon" revenue is set to rise to $19 billion in the third quarter, up 8. (EETimes)
FPGA startup crunch: SiliconBlue looks to break new ground May 5, 2009
Compared with traditional FPGAs, flash-based FPGAs and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), SiliconBlue's ICE FPGAs most closely approximate the combination of cost, power and single-chip advantages offered by ASICs, he claimed. "Architecturally we are an FPGA, but we should be called an ASIC," Shankar said. (EETimes)
Novellus' CoolFill CVD Process Advances Tungsten Fill for Sub-32nm High Aspect Ratio Structures Apr 17, 2009
Logic devices, though not as aggressive as DRAM, will still have challenges in maintaining low resistivity contacts as aspect ratios grow to more than 10:1. Void-free fill that meets the required electrical properties in aggressive features like these will be problematic using conventional CVD tungsten deposition techniques. (PR Newswire)
