Design teams—whether using fabless, fablite, or IDM(integrated-device-manufacturer) processes—should handle the goal of reducing a design’ssensitivity to manufacturing issues. The furtherdownstream a ...

In the world of embedded software development, defects can cripple projects, delay releases, and ultimately lead to failures that affect everything from consumer electronics to mission-critical ...

SiC is extensively used in microelectronic devices owing to its several unique properties. However, low yield and high cost of the SiC manufacturing process are the major challenges that must be ...

For a long time, semiconductor defect inspection focused on particles, and particle defects remain an important cause of yield loss. But as devices have become more complex, additional kinds of ...

Materials scientists have long known that introducing defects into three-dimensional materials can improve their mechanical and electronic properties. Now a new study finds how defects affect ...

High-performance electrodes for lithium-ion batteries can be improved by paying closer attention to their defects -- and capitalizing on them, according to scientists. High-performance electrodes for ...

Code testing with modern static analysis provides a solution that not only allows developers to identify and fix concurrency defects in new code, it also provides a cost-effective and automated way to ...

Fastmicro B.V. is a manufacturer of surface particle defect detection systems and equipment established over 15 years ago. The main product lines include sample surface particle defect scanning, ...

In a paper just published in Nature Materials, a team of researchers that includes William T.M. Irvine, assistant professor in physics at the University of Chicago, has succeeded in creating a defect ...
