To a standard silicon layout from ARM, Luminary adds functions like Ethernet connections, flash memory and motion-control hardware.

FORBES: Smarter, Cheaper

These channels, which have a diameter of 50 microns (about the width of a human hair) are etched using standard silicon-fabrication methods.

On the plus side, all that's needed is a simple set of four silicon filters in addition to some standard x-ray equipment.

ENGADGET: X-rays get boost from "dark field" technology

In fact, apologizing has become such a standard operating practice among Silicon Valley's chief executives that public relations gurus have developed some "best practices" for all that begging and scraping.

Their search engine soon became the standard for Stanford students and faculty and then most of Silicon Valley.

FORBES: How Google Refined the Entrepreneurial Spirit by Applying Strategic Focus to Invent a New Industry

Its wafers, dubbed silicon-on-insulator, or SOI, can go into standard chipmaking equipment but are engineered to reduce power consumption, and thus heat, by up to 50%.

FORBES: Magazine Article

The consortium's technology builds its transistors inside a sliver of pure silicon, laid on top of an insulator, which in turn sits on top of a standard wafer, the substrate on which transistors are constructed.

The researchers used standard lithographic techniques to make a narrow loop of cobalt wire that they placed on a silicon chip.
