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 ...

these signals in turn correlate closely with the effects that each defect would create on the wafer. Defects are therefore automatically classified as printing or non-printing (relative to a given ...

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

E-beam inspection is one of two ways to find defects on a wafer. Optical inspection is the other method. Not long ago, chipmakers mainly used optical tools for defect detection in production. E-beam ...

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 ...

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 ...
