Increasingly tight tolerances and rigorous demands for quality are forcing chipmakers and equipment manufacturers to ferret out minor process variances, which can create significant anomalies in ...

With semiconductor feature sizes continuing to shrink, the variability arising from process technologies such as strained silicon, as well as the manufacturing processes themselves at 45 nm and below, ...

In this module, you will learn how to define a process and break it down into components for the purpose of identifying potential sources of variation. You will learn how to classify variation into ...

In this interview, learn how Raman spectroscopy is used as a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) in bioreactor monitoring and control for cultivated meat production. Why look at different ways to ...

In a recent study done by McKinsey and IDC, we see that physical design and verification costs are increasing exponentially with shrinking transistor sizes. As figure 1 shows, physical design (PD) and ...
