During standardized chip fabrication, integrate circuit (IC) testing is conducted repeatedly to inspect the chips once they are manufactured. IC testing begins with wafer penetration before etched ...

Few industries have seen as much change as the semiconductor industry has over the past decade. Fabrication processes have improved from 130-nm capability (which gave us transistors at 1/1000th the ...

In the fast-paced world of semiconductor manufacturing, achieving higher yields and reducing costs are constant challenges. Ideally, yield should only be impacted by unavoidable defects when ...

Semiconductor aging refers to the slow loss of electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device as a result of continuous use or prolonged exposure to various environmental conditions like ...

Semiconductors are routinely used in a growing list of everyday devices and machines, including computers, phones, TVs, public transport, and cars. They are integral to many current applications, and ...
