Metrology Advances Step Up To Sub-2nm Device Node Needs
By Laura Peters - 15 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Metrology and inspection are dealing with a slew of issues tied to 3D measurements, buried defects, and higher sensitivity as device features continue to shrink to 2nm and below. This is made even more challenging due to increasing pressure to ramp new processes more quickly. Metrology tool suppliers must exceed current needs by a process node or two to ensure solutions are ready to meet tig... » read more

Real-Time Safety Monitoring
By Ed Sperling - 28 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Various types of semiconductor test will determine whether a chip is free of defects and meets the specification, but understanding how it's behaving in the field under real workloads and harsh ambient conditions may be very different in automotive applications, where vibration, heat, cold can disrupt the normal functioning of a chip over time and reduce its lifespan. Alex Burlak, vice presiden... » read more

AI/ML’s Role In Design And Test Expands
By Laura Peters - 06 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 1

The role of AI and ML in test keeps growing, providing significant time and money savings that often exceed initial expectations. But it doesn't work in all cases, sometimes even disrupting well-tested process flows with questionable return on investment. One of the big attractions of AI is its ability to apply analytics to large data sets that are otherwise limited by human capabilities. In... » read more
