Modern photolithography machines must deliver extraordinary precision on a repeatable basis, and in high volume production. In response to demands for increased throughput in the semiconductor ...

The $400 machine will one day no longer be the crown jewel of the tech economy. Moore’s law will march on, processor power ...

There’s nothing more freeing than to be an engineer with no perceptible budget in sight. [BrendaEM] walks us through a teardown of a machine that was designed under just such a lack of constraint. It ...

The global market for DRAM Wafer was valued at USD 12360 Million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of USD 18560 Million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast ...

RIBER, a global market leader for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) equipment serving the semiconductor industry, is announcing the delivery of the first MBE 8000 system, the world’s largest MBE machine, ...

A new technique may vastly reduce the overall cost of wafer technology and enable devices made from more exotic, higher-performing semiconductor materials than conventional silicon. The new method ...

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has developed a means to screen dud silicon wafers prior to the manufacture of photovoltaic cells, a technique that the lab claims could save the solar ...

Solar power still costs more than energy gained from burning coal or gas. That fact may put opponents of subsidies up in arms, but it’s great for companies that automate photovoltaic (PV) ...

During semiconductor fabrication, wafers undergo numerous processing steps — coatings, bakings, etches, rinses — and inspections, creating electrical circuits that stretch across their surface. In ...
