The company said its field-programmable gate array (FPGA) IC technology - which lets designers incorporate last-minute changes in networking standards or customer specifications into complex IC designs - will be included in several of its silicon products later this year....

Alpine Gets Patent for IC Jigsaw Method. alpine gets patent for ic jigsaw method. While that may be an oversimplification of Alpine Microsystems DirectAttach IC packaging technology, it pretty much gives you an idea of what they're doing. While that may be an oversimplification of Alpine Microsystems DirectAttach IC packaging technology, it pretty much gives you an idea of what they're doing. Alpine says that its DirectAttach method for interconnecting multiple ICs in an electronic system improves the electrical performance and allows an increased number of I/O pins to be used while minimizing printed circuit board area and avoiding thermal degradation of the IC substrate interface....

IC Media's Camera on a Chip. ic medias camera on a chip. IC Media Corporation just unveiled a single-chip digital color camera called the ICM-532A that provides CIF resolution (352 x 288 pixels) for still or full-motion video at up to 30 frames-per-second (fps). The ICM-532A can also use IC Media's 1/7" CIF-resolution miniature lens to build an entire PC camera implementation as small as 3 cm x 1 cm x 0.8 cm high....

Taiwan 1Q IC production steady or rising across the board from 4Q 2001. taiwan 1q ic production steady or rising across the board from 4q 2001. The Industrial Technology Information Service (ITIS) announced on May 13 that Taiwan's overall IC production rose 10% quarter-on-quarter to NT$145.85 billion in the first quarter. The Industrial Technology Information Service (ITIS) announced on May 13 that Taiwan's overall IC production rose 10% quarter-on-quarter to NT$145.85 billion in the first quarter. IC manufacturing fared significantly better this year as DRAM prices stabilized and foundry orders flowed in, while the other sectors remained at least level with the previous quarter....
