Strained silicon shows enhanced mobility because of the band-structure tuning and is widely used in modern high-spec circuits 1. This technique should be also applicable to the innovation of wider ...

It’s a common occurrence to speak to employees who are strained, drained and maxed out. I've found it’s even more eye-opening to speak to their partners and spouses. The common reaction I've received ...

Some relationships are a snap. It’s a breeze to be with the other person. Problems rarely crop up. But other relationships are strained. You struggle to carry on a conversation. Arguments erupt out of ...

A technique that deposits silicon (Si) on top of silicon germanium (SiGe) for making transistors on a chip. In so doing, the silicon atoms are stretched ("strained") to line up with the silicon ...

Cargo ships stacked up at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Inventories of lumber, aluminum cans, tires, cardboard and plastic all running low. Asian electronics factories forced to delay ...

Intel has taken the wraps off a secret technique it is using to increase the speed of its Pentium and Centrino chips. The technique boosts the rate at which transistors switch, without having to make ...

Austin, Texas – Intel Corp. and Texas Instruments Inc. process engineers are opening up about how they have strained-literally-to boost the performance of 90-nanometer silicon at only a marginal ...

When the bond with a mother is strained, it can lead to carrying unresolved emotions, a need for validation, withholding affection, struggles with boundaries, defensiveness, perfectionism, low ...
