Material optimization: Strain can be applied to overcome doping limitations in semiconductors. (Courtesy: B Huang) A new universal theory and three basic rules for how defects in semiconductors behave ...
Those defects matter: For example, they could be places where electricity could be lost in transit among electrons. With proper manipulation, the defects can also provide opportunities for ...
The semiconductor industry is experiencing significant growth, and its proliferation has placed more urgency on the need to completely eliminate defects from the manufacturing chain. Currently, ...
It is natural to hold a bias that assumes that the highest-quality devices are those formed from the most perfect materials (crystalline, well-ordered, stoichiometric). Therefore, it is ironic, and ...
Modern advanced packaging processes and shrinking semiconductor device sizes mean that it is vital to consistently eliminate sub-20 nm defects and surface contaminants. To do this effectively, the ...
Manijeh Razeghi, Walter P. Murphy Professor has been named Conference Chair of the Workshop on Defects in Wide Band Gap Semiconductors (WBG), which will be held on Monday, September 23, 2014 at the ...
The latest studies using CRAIC Technologies’ microspectroscopy have delivered important insights into the characterization of semiconductors and other new materials. The advanced abilities of CRAIC ...
Across the full range of semiconductor device types and design nodes, there is a drive to produce chips with significantly higher quality. Automotive, IoT and other industrial applications require ...
The global semiconductor chip shortage is expected to extend well into 2022 and likely into 2023. Over the past 12 months, car manufacturers have screeched to a halt, consumer electronics plants have ...
