Semiconductors are the revolutionizing agent of modern technology. It created a wave that has continued to shape how the world uses electronic devices. Semiconductors, as the name implies, can act as both electrical insulators and conductors at certain temperatures and…
Since the early days of semiconductor fabrication, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) has been a critical process for creating smooth and defect-free surfaces on semiconductor wafers. CMP involves using chemicals and abrasive particles to remove material from the surface of a…
Do you know what a semiconductor parameter analyzer is or what it’s used for? Find out how the parameter analyzer first came into being and how it slowly evolved from being an instrument that could measure the I-V characteristics of…
A semiconductor cooling plate is a device that uses the principles of thermodynamics to transfer heat away from electronic devices. This type of cooling is often used in applications where traditional cooling methods, like fans or heat sinks, are not…
The Silicon wafer dicing saw is an important instrument in the semiconductor wafer-cutting stage of manufacturing. The wafer dicing process can be accomplished through various means, each with its own pros and cons. Mechanical sawing through a wafer dicing saw…
As the global hunger for consumer electronic devices like smartphones, 4K televisions, and wearable tech increases along with emerging fields that are powered by machine learning and blockchain technology, there has never been more demand for semiconductor-based devices. With this…
South Korea’s semiconductor industry is a vital element of the global semiconductor supply chain. It is the second-largest semiconductor-producing country in the world and accounts for over 19% of the global market share. South Korea is home to major companies…
Semiconductor devices are used in a huge range of consumer electronics and other products. In order to keep up with demand, semiconductor fabrication plants (factories) require a large number of these devices. To increase throughput and efficiency, factories use FOUP…
Semiconductor MES is the semiconductor manufacturing software tool that is at the heart of digital transformation for any business in the semiconductor industry. Its integration into a wafer fabrication plant’s infrastructure has the potential to provide engineers and managers with…
The trade between China-US Chip Industry companies has taken a new turn as the Biden Administration announced a set of export restrictions intending to slow down China’s advancement into technologies like artificial intelligence. These policies will cut off China’s chip…
