ASML operation to build controlled overcapacity in full swing
ASML shrugs off the chip dip as it moves toward a just-in-case manufacturing capacity philosophy.
Lightyear sacrifices its flagship to keep its dream alive
With the Lightyear 0 having been declared bankrupt, the Helmond-based solar car trailblazer wants to go all-in on its low-end model 2.
PD fallacy #6: experimentation has no role in product development
Some things are simply unknowable until we try them out. The response of customers to new products or new features is one of these.
Challenging C++
Despite a host of up-and-coming alternatives, C++ is still a force to be reckoned with, certainly in the legacy-fraught high-tech industry. In a series of articles, High Tech Institute trainer Kris van Rens puts the language in a modern perspective.
Free webinar ‘Modernizing your code base with C++20’
As many production tool chains now adopt C++20 features, the potential this brings is unlocked. What advantages can recent versions offer to your code base? In this webinar we’ll look at the great improvements C++ has gone through and how features like concepts and ranges can transform your code. Register for 2 February, 4PM.
Wafer-scale growth of 2D materials paves way for industrial integration
When confined to tiny pockets during growth, 2D materials play nice with silicon substrates. That’s good news for the future of chip scaling.
Thin layers paved the way for ASM’s success
ASM played a key role in developing a deposition technique that has saved Moore’s law more than once. Outgoing CTO Ivo Raaijmakers explains what atomic layer deposition has brought the semiconductor industry – and ASM – and what more is in store.
The state of C++
Despite a host of up-and-coming alternatives, C++ is still a force to be reckoned with, certainly in the legacy-fraught high-tech industry. In a series of articles, High Tech Institute trainer Kris van Rens puts the language in a modern perspective.
Blurring boundaries in chip manufacturing
The end of traditional scaling is in sight, but Moore’s law thunders on. Imec’s Eric Beyne highlights one part of the bag of tricks that will open in the coming years: backside power delivery.
A flying start in modern C++
Despite a host of up-and-coming alternatives, C++ is still a force to be reckoned with, certainly in the legacy-fraught high-tech industry. Drawing from almost 25 years of experience, computer programming enthusiast Kris van Rens introduces coding rookies to the language basics and essential best practices in his new training at High Tech Institute.
International engineering students still welcome in the Netherlands
That could have been the headline in the newspaper. But it wasn’t, and that sent the wrong message to the world, says Martijn Heck.
PD fallacy #5: software development is a factory cranking out features
We need to focus on iteratively building new features to measure their impact and spend much more time optimizing existing features that are heavily used.
