Meeting The Test Challenges Of Ultra-Wideband Chipsets
By Kevin Yan - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Kevin Yan and Daniel Sun This article is adapted from a paper and presentation at SEMICON China, March 2023. Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, as defined by IEEE 802.15.4 and 802.15.4z standards, enables short-range, low-power RF location-based services and wireless communication. A variety of devices have reached the market to help implement UWB capability, but these devices present si... » read more

Empowering Universities By Retaining Raman Knowledge
By Inga Koehler - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

A big chunk of precious research funds spent on an expensive piece of equipment, for example a Raman microscope. Now, such a magnificent piece of hardware can seem quite intimidating. After all, it could be capable of building a spaceship! Now a poor graduate student must face copious amounts of training, becoming a real expert over the span of 3 to 4 years. Mostly because the professor ... » read more

A Bare Wafer Mystery: Inspecting For Back, Edge, And Notch Defects In Advanced Nodes
By Burhan Ali - 12 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

It is no mystery that the semiconductor industry is always advancing, with specifications becoming increasingly stringent as defects become increasingly more difficult to discover. This is especially true in the case of the most advanced nodes, where ever-smaller flaws and deformities can result in a killer defect. To solve this More than Moore mystery, you do not need to employ the detectiv... » read more
