Taiwan's UMC posts Q4 profit of 137 million dollars

Taiwan's United Microelectronics Corp Wednesday said it posted a net profit of 4.4 billion Taiwan dollars (137 million US dollars) in the three months to December due to strong demand.

No-sweat pressure sensors

Microelectronic chips used to take pressure readings are very delicate. A new technology has been developed that makes pressure sensors more robust, enabling them to continue operating normally at temperatures up to 250 degrees ...

Color sensors for better vision

CMOS image sensors in special cameras -- as used for driver assistance systems -- mostly only provide monochrome images and have a limited sensitivity to light. Thanks to a new production process these sensors can now distinguish ...
