Photonic Debonding Provides A Cost-Efficient, High-Throughput Debond Process


As emerging technologies require ultrathinned device wafers, traditional debonding processes can pose some challenges. Photonic debonding is an innovative debonding process utilizing a carrier coated with an inorganic metal release layer that aids in the release of the thinned wafer from the carrier substrate with no force and no damage to the delicate wafer upon activation of the release layer... » read more

5 Reasons Why Defect Reduction Is Critical In Semiconductor Material Success


Semiconductors may be small, but the impacts they have are significant. Semiconductors used in life-dependent applications, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, life support systems, automotive safety systems, or in aviation need to be fail-proof. A device smaller than a centimeter with features just a few nanometers has no margin of error. This blog shares why it’s important to detect materia... » read more

Small Molecule Analysis Testing: Liquid Chromatography Versus Gas Chromatography


Chromatography is a process for separating components of a mixture for analysis. This is a component of our small molecule analysis testing and plays a critical part in identifying and quantifying impurities. It is also crucial in screening raw materials for identification, to ensure the quality and safety of products, as well as evaluate reactions by looking at residual analytes to better unde... » read more

Reducing Greenhouse Gases In Manufacturing


Businesses must reduce their environmental impact. One of the most significant ways to do this is by reducing their carbon footprint, and this starts with monitoring carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are responsible for 81% of overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and businesses are responsible for a lot of it. The rest of the GHG emissions are methane (10%), nitrous oxide (7%) and fluorin... » read more

5 Traits For Healthy Competition


Competition encourages continuous improvement. Therefore, to enable growth, surround yourself with others who aspire to be better. This fundamental concept is most notably quoted in Proverbs 27:17, “iron sharpens iron,” interpreted as when both people are committed to growth, they recognize challenges as opportunities, not obstacles. Competitive people are found everywhere. The competiti... » read more
