Samsung Licenses University Of Illinois Manufacturing Technology.
The AP (1/29) reports, "Samsung Electronics has signed a deal to license technology developed more than a decade ago by a University of Illinois professor that extends the life of silicon chips." The technology, which was developed by professor Joseph Lyding 14 years ago, "allows chip makers to substitute deuterium for hydrogen in their manufacturing process." The University of Illinois "hopes other companies follow Samsung" because of the potential financial benefits.
The News-Gazette (28, Dodson) reported, "The license sprang from the work of Lyding, a professor of electrical and computer engineering; Karl Hess, a professor emeritus now living in Hawaii; and Jinju Lee, a postdoctoral researcher now working for Intel Corp." During their research, they found that deuterium "stayed bonded and improved the lifetime of chips by a factor of 10 to 50." A university official attributed the renewed interest in the technology to the shrinking size of devices, and the increasing importance of "longevity."
