Wafers are shipped out in a plastic ‘boat ... capable of sourcing or sinking current into a pin and taking measurements. This allows defects such as disconnected or shorted pins, and pin ...

Of course, no manufacturing technology is perfect and the intricate process of fabricating semiconductor chips inevitably ...

If wafers are not sufficiently planarized, they can be reworked immediately rather than finding a problem later in the flow. This in-line metrology closes the gap between inspection and correction, ...

This approach not only further reduces defects but also enables precise control over material dimensions and composition. “Our optimized nano-ridge structures typically feature threading dislocation ...

“Therefore, the fracture strength of silicon wafers is determined by the weakest defect.” The analysis showed that the surface roughness of the wafers decreases with the increase in the usage ...

The Nvidia GB202 GPU has a chip area of 761.56 mm², making it one of the largest GPUs for consumer PCs in history. The ...

T oday, silicon photonic circuits connect server racks and play key roles in chemical sensors, biosensors, and LIDAR for self ...

Researchers from Australian National University and Chinese PV module manufacturer Longi investigated the wafer quality of n-type industrial ingots made via the Recharged Czochralski (RCz) process ...
