Smart sportswear maximizes performance and speeds up recovery

Jade Liu

The Skinetix data platform matches sensor data collected through their unique sportswear with a personalized AI model, providing quantified biomechanical insights to adjust training and rehabilitation plans to maximize athletes' performance or get them back in the game, faster.

Skinetix, a new spin-off from imec and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), develops smart sportswear to maximize athletes’ performance and speed up post-injury recovery

Addressing the RC delay at beyond-20nm metal pitches for multiple generations.

Zsolt Tokei

A cost-effective metallization scheme to address the resistance-capacitance (RC) delay at beyond 20nm metal pitches for multiple generations

Page-turner

More than five years ago, imec proposed semi-damascene as a new module approach to address the increasing RC delay concerns related to Cu dual-damascene in advanced technology nodes.

When used in combination with a patternable metal such as Ru, semi-damascene promises to be RC, area, cost and power efficient – offering an interconnect scaling path.

This article reviews the value proposition, summarizes challenges and potential solutions of state of the art Ru-based semi-damascene and calls upon the academic and industrial community to collaboratively clear the path towards industrial adoption.

Semi-damascene metallization: inflection point in back-end-of-line processing?

The aim is to achieve optimal performance to democratize hardware research.
