New integration and patterning schemes used in 3D memory and logic devices have created manufacturing and yield challenges. Industrial focus has shifted from the scaling of predictable unit processes ...

Lightweight, high-strength polymer composites are essential to modern engineering. Yet their manufacturing remains complex, slow, and often reliant on manual adjustments. In a forward-looking analysis ...

San Jose, Calif. — The addition of nonvolatile memory to a system-level IC is never an easy proposition. Often, design teams take the easy way out and simply put flash in an external chip. If ...

Advanced CMOS scaling and new memory technologies have introduced increasingly complex structures into the device manufacturing process. For example, the increase in NAND memory layers has achieved ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

The promise of IoT to leverage data in industrial and manufacturing settings is something we've heard about a few times already, and for good reason. Using data collected by IoT sensors to get a ...

Comprehensive process optimization begins with an evaluation to identify the best combination of tooling, fixturing, machines, and cycle times. The Seco Engineered Solutions team evaluates the scope ...

Artificial intelligence is influencing both how websites are built and how search engines interpret them”— Brett Thomas ...
