For quality control purposes, wafers, such as semiconductor or flat-panel display (FPD) chips, need to be examined under a microscope to verify that they meet specifications related to both circuit ...

The alpha300 Semiconductor Edition is a sophisticated confocal Raman microscope designed for the chemical analysis of semiconducting materials. This advanced tool helps researchers quickly analyze ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — FEI Co. (Hillsboro, Ore.) will unveil a family of transmission electron microscopes (TEM) next week that it says will enable atomic-scale imaging and analysis of semiconductor wafers.

Semiconductor circuits (patterns) printed on semiconductor wafers (substrates) are shrinking, while such substrates are becoming larger in physical size. Over the years, the inspection of patterned ...

To use electron or ion beams to create nano-patterns the three methods that are typically used include ion beam milling, beam induced chemistry (deposition and etch), and beam induced lithography.

This is part of a NASA-supported project hoping to fabricate "device-ready" wafers from space-grown crystals. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Multiple-CCD microscope and software lets users set up wafer probes more quickly and accurately Designed for engineers involved with device characterization/modeling or process development, the eVue ...

Silicon wafers covered with matching patterns of Lego-like teeth and holes could aid the development of 3D electronics, say UK researchers. The vast majority of modern electronics are etched onto flat ...
