Fermilab 3D Sensor Breakthrough

A new 3D sensor prototype with extraordinary capabilities was recently revealed by Grzegorz Deptuch of Fermilab.  The three-layer sensor, named VIPIC, is designed for particle detection in large-scale particle physics and x-ray imaging experiments.  It exhibits higher and more uniform gain, higher signal amplitude, lower input capacitance, and much lower … [Read More]

COSMOS, DAHI, and mixed-material 3D

A hotly-pursued goal of 3D-IC technology is the integration of circuitry built on different substrates. Phil Garrou reports in his blog, “Insights from the Leading Edge,” that DARPA is leading the way with its COSMOS and DAHI programs. Tezzaron and Novati are participants in these programs.  You can read Phil’s … [Read More]

Novati named a “Trusted” Fab

Novati Technologies, Tezzaron’s manufacturing subsidiary in Austin, has been awarded the coveted “Trusted Foundry” accreditation.  Novati is one of only nine companies so designated by the U.S. Department of Defense. “Trusted Foundries” are qualified to perform highest-security semiconductor production.  You can read the Novati press release … [Read More]
